Childcare

 I believe that the government should not have to provide childcare for working parents unless they are making low income. It is not fair to provide childcare to all working parents. Some working parents make more than enough money to afford childcare, while other working parents are living off of a very low income and cannot afford the childcare they need. It should all depend on how much money the parents are bringing home. It should be given to the families who are in more need before it is given to the families who have a high income. Some of the high income families can afford to hire a personal nanny, while the low income families can barely afford daycare. A lot of families depend on one of their children to babysit and I do not really think that is fair. It is not fair to make one child give up plans that they may have just to babysit just because they cannot afford child care. I know child care may be very expensive at some places so they should just provide it to help some families in need. It could really help them out and make a difference. I am sure they would really appreciate the extra help. So, I believe the government should provide child care but provide it for the low income families in need. It would be very helpful.

Summer

             I didn't do much over the Summer but there was definitely one thing I did that I will never forget. I went on a college visit to Case Western Reserve for a week and I got to stay in a dorm with a room mate. While I was there, I met this man and his grandson who were visiting from Austrillia. I got the opportunity to spend time with this man, Dr. Dylan, and his grandson, Jackson. They taught me so much about Austrillia. They told me they don't have squirrells where they live! Jackson was so excited to see a squirrell when he got here, which I found funny because we don't even care when we see a squirrell. They also didn't know what ketchup was, because they call it "tomato sauce." They were such nice people and I loved their accents. Other than Dr. Dylan and Jackson, I also met a lot of kids my age from all over Ohio. I enjoyed my expirience there very much, but it was very sad when I had to say goodbye to Dr. Dylan and Jackson. Jackson gave me a pin from Austrillia the night I left that had the new and the old Austrillian flags on it. I still keep in touch with Jackson, and eventually, I am going to go visit them. I am so thankful for having the opportunity to go stay at Case Western for a week and do new things. It was an amazing experience that I will never forget.

My Name

Behind my name is a buffoon,
as people seem to think.
You would know the story behind it
if you'd just let me speak.

People call me Elieza
but it's really Eleeza.
I dislike that very much,
so I tell them call me Isa.

When my name is said wrong,
I am filled with bane.
But I really can't blame them
since it's just a name.

My name is unique,
it fits me well.
I like it a lot,
can't you tell?

I am named after my grandmother,
Maria Elisa was her name.
My name is very similar.
They are somewhat the same.

My name is different
like each letter in the alphabet,
it's not that simple though,
it's something like a volleyball set.

When people hear my name,
do they think of extrovert?
or do they think of garish?
Whatever, it doesn't really hurt.
