TEAM VOCAB

Dear Mentor letter draft! A start at this letter.

Dear who ever my mentor may be, 

I had this question in mind, why are we here? why are we here on Earth? Is there a purpose to all of this? Why are humans here? For example, why am I here right now on this planet, do I have a purpose? 

MY FIRST REAL HEARTBREAK

I got my heart broken on Sunday by Shonda freaking Rhimes. Grey's Anatomy did this again to me. I feel like I have to rant about this because none of my friends really watch Grey's Anatomy. I'm not going to say what happened because DUH spoilers! I don't understand how they could do this every dang time. Grey's Anatomy should be called Get your heartbroken every freaking 4 episodes and every last episode of a season. You think something might happen and then BAM this all turns on you in a matter of 5 seconds or less. You don't even have time to process this about 20 seconds later BAM a whole new episode. Just don't watch Grey's Anatomy you will feel like you're drowning in every dang season when something happens. But anyways, I love Grey's Anatomy, I just had to rant for a little bit to who ever might be reading this! Thanks!





                







               



               

MISTAKES FOR PRESIDENT

I do not support any candidate in this race for president. In my opinion, they both are ignorant but Donald Trump is definitely not qualified to be president. My reason for saying that is because he thinks running America is like a business, he's a business man that's all he is. Mr. Trump would just treat this country that we all know and love as a business and would not care for minorities only the dominant race. He does not have experience like Hillary Clinton does I mean she was secretary of state, she knows how to run a country. Back to what I was saying, they are both very ignorant in the entire debate Donald Trump was just insulting and interrupting Hillary Clinton but she was also insulting him. All they did was have arguments that didn't have anything to do with the questions they were being asked. Donald Trump did not answer any question clearly, he provided false statements throughout the whole debate. Both of these presidential candidates are not fit to be president and when either of them are in office we will have some kind of national breakdown. Like I said I do not support either of these candidates but one is SLIGHTLY better than the other to be in office.
