Superbowl Sunday

It's finally here, the Superbowl is this sunday and i can't wait. It will be between the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers. Nobody would ever imagine that the Cardinals to be in this position to play for the Superbowl. Their opponents the Steelers are nasty and have the number one rated defense in the league. The Cardinals have an incredible offense which they run and gun. Their receiving core is excellent especially with the explosive, big, unstoppable Larry Fitzgerald. His counter part is Anquain Bouldin who is really fast and dangerous on the playing field. The Cardinals aren't known for defense but throughout the playoffs they have been exceptionally well like causing turnovers and three and outs. The Superbowl is the biggest phenomenon in the sports industry. Everybody will be tuning in to watch the teams face each other in Tampa, Florida. Parties will be going on everywhere to watch and celebrate this great sports event. even went home for the weekend to enjoy the game. I heard that my grandmother will be throwing a big party, so i must attend. There will be family and friends there to watch the game, s it will be a very fun and exciting atmospehere. Everybody thinks that the Steelers will win it, but i think the Cardinals will outplay them and upset the Steelers. I want the Cardinals to win because they have been playing real well. So this sunday, I will be tuned in and watching the spectacular known as the Superbowl

My Thoughts On The Inauguration

My thoughts on the inauguration is history in the making for the first African-American president sworned in. I am most excited that my ninety year old grandmother could witness this special day. Great leaders such as Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and Booker T. Washington just to name a few paved the way, so that Barack Obama could be the first African-American president. Once Barack Obama was swoorned in and he addressed the world, I thought his speech was brave. It also gave hope to go in a new direction and I felt confident when the speech was over. I know that Barack Obama faces many challenges because of the recession that the United States is in, but with his leadership, I am sure that will be better days. I thought the speech was assuring, there were many key points, and several occassions he stated and I quote, "We will get there together". For me personally, I thought this day would never come. I would always hear from the grapevine and speculations from many people about what it would be like to have an African-American running the White House. Now that day is here and the world is headed into a new generation. I just hope and pray that the Secret Service protect Barack Obama and his family as he tries to make the world a better place because there are some people who didn't never ever wanted to see this unfold. But guess hwat, it did and I am very proud and happy to be apart of it and witness it.
