There are so many things in my life that mean so much to me. My puppy, tucker, and my family. What I would have to say means the most to me, is my cat.
His name is Lucky. He is 10 years old, and he has been with me since I was 3 years old. I wanted to name him Lucy at the time, but I was 3, and i didn’t know that he was a boy. He is black and white and skinny. He loves the outdoors, and believe me, he brought me some gifts. Those wonderful gifts would be mice that he caught. He would walk right up to me and drops it right near my feet.
He only comes inside when I call him. He only chooses to sleep on my bed. When I sleep over someone’s house, he will be walking back and forth meowing down the hallway looking or waiting for me.
The reason why he is so special to me is because he was my first pet. He has been there with me almost all my life. He lays on my bed when I do some homework or watch T.V. He will sit next to the window if I am looking out. He is all mine! I don’t know what I will do without him. I always talk to him when I am mad, or sad and he will never talk back, just meow back. He is always there when I need him most. When I call him in he will be waiting there by the door for me. If anyone else calls him in he will just run the other way. He is so soft to lay on and keeps me warm in the winter when I fall asleep. He is my everything, and when he is gone, he will always stay my first pet.
He is the best first pet I could ever have. He was already litter trained when I got him and all he wants to do is play around. He is the boss in my family, when it comes to pets. I have a dog named Tucker, and my cat does not like him AT ALL. My cat will hiss and try to scratch him if my dog goes anywhere near him. My dog isn’t very smart though, and since he is 10 and a half months old, he loves to play with anything. When he sees my cat he runs right to him and my cat gets a little mad.
My cat has had some funny moments, like getting scared one morning when the alarm clock went off and hitting the wall on the side of my bed. My cat is great, and even though I might seem a little obsessed, I dont care. I love all animals. I know that no other pet can be like him, so I will love him even when he is gone.

Technology is so powerful these days and it is getting more and more powerful as we speak. Technology is growing very quickly. The world is globally connected due to technology. It seems like technology brought our world closer together and it is a great thing to have. There are so many reasons to use technology. I think the main reason for using technology is to help us do things quicker. Technology shouldn’t just take over what you are doing though. It should be used in a way to help you in the task you are doing to make that task quicker and easier. Another reason I thing people use technology is to do different tasks in a unique way. It gets boring writing on pen and paper all the time so it is always good to mix it up with a video or something. Technology allows you to be creative and neat. I think the technology today is great. They have things like games all the way up to things that keep you and your family safe like security systems. Technology is a safe and fun way to learn and even for those of you who don’t like it, it is all around us and it always will be since it is getting better and better. Technology is used in so many ways for different reasons. Security systems are for protection, radio is fro entertainment and the list keeps on going on. There is an endless amount of reasons why technology is used. Technology is so important today. It is great for everything and it is so easy to use. It is important for many different people because they use it in so many different ways. Technology is very important because it allows people to get there job done. It allows businesses all over the world be able to contact each other when needed. It allows protection in homes for families. It keeps things very organized and filed. Technology is something that everyone needs. It allows people to do things when they need help and it makes things a lot easier for everyone. People rely on technology and many people will always rely on it because it is getting so powerful and needed today. It definitely shouldn’t take over the important things because those things like math and reading will always be used. Things do break and go wrong and that is why you need to know the basics. Technology sure does help today though. People all over the world should be listening because technology is a big part of the world. It will always be and it definitely is a great thing to have. It will be there to help you out just like your best friend would. Technology is used everywhere and many people use it. It is used for so many reasons and is important for so many ways.

I really did not know what was the difference between a Democrat and Republican. Now, I know. A person that is a democrat has the idea of having the government help out around here and pay for many things. The would rather have the government help with health care and have the government lay down laws on certain problems. Democrats are more as a union with the whole country. The government does a lot. On the republican side though, they would rather have things work out on their own. The states have more of an opinion on what they do. Businesses have the choice of who they want to hire and how things work. Rather than the government putting down laws to stop pollution like democrats, the republicans would have the business work the problem out themselves.
When I am older and I can register to vote I think that the party I would want to vote for is the democratic party. I think that the government should help us out more. If we were all republicans the businesses around would not stop and try to solve the pollution. I really think that the government needs to lay down laws and pay attention to the problems going on in the world. Many problems are happening in the world today and the government is not doing much. We have to pay attention. The problems need to be solved and sometimes the only way to do that is to lay down the laws. I would be on the democratic side because I know that I need rules and that is what keeps me on track and do what I am suppose to do. When the country is more on their own with a lot of there own decisions things could fall apart. What about health care. The government should provide health care to everyone. The republicans thing that people should work and earn there health care. What if the sick person does not have health care and then can’t get medication. What if her sickness spreads. I need rules to stay organized and if I need rules many others do too. The united states, the fifty states, need rules to be civil.

What do you think about pollution??????

To be honest with you I HATE IT!!! It isn’t fair for anybody that pollution is occuring. Do you all know that people are killing animals and factories are destroying our air just by polluting. Animals are sweet and inocent and with out good air we will die. First of all there are so many lazy people in the worls. They should be acting like Mr. Bogush and ride a bike to school if it isn’t to far away. He spend about 40 minutes riding his bike to school if though it would take longer than a regular 25 minutes on a car. Then there are those people who throw paper and plastic and all those other things down on the ground. Now where do you think they go. Right into the ocean or lake or anywhere really!! Now anywhere must have some type of animal living there right? Exactly, there someone goes hurting another animal. Now you should think about it. If there is a gas station 5 minutes away from your house and your mom wants to get a gallon of milk or something why don’t you just go ride your bike and get it for her. Stop POLLUTION and help the EARTH!! What types of things do you do to help the Earth??

The podcast I listen to was really cool.It was about how these people wanted to explore all different things under water.They talked about DNA and all these other things they do when they find something new. I thought it was interesting. I honestly did not know what topic to listen to a podcast on so when i was think i remember my brothers and I always wondered what cretures could be in the ocean so I thought it would be an interesting topic. I do consider this podcast to people because it is very educational. I listen to this podcast after searching it on itunes and I thought it was amazing how they just dive into the water and then search for things. The comment I sent to the NOAA Ocean Explorer was that… Today I listened to your podcast and I thought it was really interesting. I was always wondering how many creatures and bacteria could live down there. It is really cool that you get to explore under the water and not hurt the animals. 
suprisingly this guy wrote back to me on the podcat I commented on! He left me this…
With 95 percent of the ocean unexplored, we don’t really know how many
marine organisms live in the ocean. We do know that we find new species
of animals each time to explore the ocean to obtain specimens of ocean
animals.
Best regards,
Fred Gorell
