One of my favorite event in my life would be when my family and I went to Greece. It was a family vacation for about two and a half months. I would'nt forget the wonderful memories and experiences. I met the half of my family as well as different people. These moment of my life has been my favoirte so far.
My favorite "life event" was when I went to Europe in the summer of 2007. My mom, sister, brother and I first arrived in London, England and travelled to Paris, France, and then to Rome, Italy from there. It was a great experience and I had the time of my life exploring these foreign cities with my family. In each new city we went out for dinner every night in a new restaurant, sampling the national cuisine. We went on tours in the morning, and ventured out to discover new places for ourselves at night. It was really fun riding the train in each country because we felt like locals, and it was the best way to commute. And I cannot wait to go back to Europe next summer; I will be visiting Spain!
One of my favorite events in my life would be when i went on a cruise with my family in april. It was very fun and relaxing. I got to visit places that i never been before, but one of the places i visisted is where my family is from so it was nice to go back there and see family. I would love to go on more cruises they're very fun.
Thats cool Fotini. I think going back to where you came from is the best because you get to see how your parents grew up and how it was like when they were young. You also get to learn more about your culture. : ]
my favorite event in life was graduating fron jr high school in 2006. i really think it was a life experience and a big step in my life in becoming a woman. entering high school was a big step and change getting to know new people and adults. its was a very important but scary time.
i think fotini's experience to greece is great because it shows her who she is since thats her heritage. also going to a vacation like that i wish i could go to. and getting to see your family and being with family is so great and cherishable. and for her to have that life experience is very special
One of my favorite events in history during my life time is the current nomination of Sonia Sotomayor. She was nominated by President Obama as the first hispanic judge in the Supreme Court. This is one of my favorit events due to the fact that since I am Hispanic it is an accomplishment that makes me proud. I am glad to say I witnessed this moment in history. -Alejandra
I enjoyed reading the comment made by Fotini because it is her own personal experience she shares which makes it all the more interesting. It is also a unique topic to pick. After reading her comment I feel I need to experience it for myself -Alejandra
my favorite event was the impeachment trial. i found it interesting because i haven't heard of it and didnt know anything about it. learning about the impeachment was good because it can help me with my learning of history.
One event that was my favorite was the World Trade Center event. It was my favorite because I lived through it and I saw what happened. I saw the smoke and everything this event would stick with me for the rest of my life.
I like Fotini's favorite event because I would like to visit Greece oneday.
Fotini Iliopoulis, I like how you said your favorite event in your life was when you and your family went to Greece. I would love to visit Greece someday. Good choice! :)
ONE OF MY FAVORITE EVENTS WOULD BE WHEN MY FAMILY & I WENT TO GUYANA FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS. WE CAME BACK TO BROOKLYN AND TWO DAYS LATER WE WENT BACK FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEK. IT WAS GOOD BECAUSE IT WAS TIME TO RELAX AND JUST THINK ABOUT THE GOOD TIMES.
One of my Favorite event in my life time would be when Bill Clinton becomes the 42nd President. He won the 1992 presidential election against Republican George H.W. Bush and Populist Ross Perot. He took office on Jan. 20,1993. This is my favorite event because he passed acts like Family and Medical Leave Act, which allowed an employee to take unpaid leave due to a seroius health condition.
I THINK FOTINI EVENT WAS REALLY COOL AND IT WOULD PROBABLY BE AN ADVENTURE TO GO TO GREECE. IT WAS REALLY NICE TO MEET ALL YOUR FAMILYAND NEW PEOPLE. -TRECIA BROWN
My favorite event was in 2009. After receiving the title of President Elect in 2008. Barack Obama became the first African American President of the United States.
My favorite part of my project was researching President Barack's election night. I was so estatic, and very proud of my country. I have to be honest it was the first time ever that I was proud of the US.
One of my favorite events in my life that stood out to me the most is "New Jersey apologizing for Slavery". This event caught my attention quickly because I felt that New Jersey as a state feels sorrowful for the pain, destruction, and turmoil they contributed to during slavery to many African Americans and other people of other races.
One of my favorite historical events that happened so far in my life was Barack Obama's presidential inauguration. It was my favorite event in history because it began a new era of positive change in America. For the first time in the United States, we can now say that an African American has become president. To me, this is the change we need to see in America.
Lisa Jan. 2009 was the best day of my life becasue an african american became president. I will never forget that day and I will make sure my kids are well educated of this event
I think that Fotini's life event is very special because bondign with family is very important. Life is too short to not spend as much time with your loved ones as possible. I am glad Fotini had a chance to experience that momemnt in her life.
One of my most memorable events in history was the September 11 terrorist attack to NYC. This event was very memorable to me because it happened in the state i was living in. This event also had an affect on other in American but most of all to New Yorkers. Since i was one of those New Yorkers who saw the twin towers callapse it affected me socially and economically, everyone that day was very dredful and sad because ofthe attack. This attack feared many from flying on planes, and also the American Security. Stacey Baez
Throughout my life history there have been numerous events that have occured worldwide. One of the events that have impacted me the most was on September 11,2001 attacks.This was a series of coodinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda. Terrorits hijacked four commercial passenger Jet airliners and intentially crashed into The World Trade Center in New York City. The third plane crashed into the Pentagon and the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. This event impacted many lives.Thousands of people died and lost their jobs.This was the most tragic event that i had to experience and it changed my life forever.
My favirote event in history was the Tsunmai in Southeast Asia because I never knew that the tsunmai occured because of a earthquake and I found it very intresting that the tsunmai happened like that. This tsunami is one of the deadliest natural disaster and it killed about 240,000 people in Southeast Asia. This was a good thing becasue it killed people and destroyed peoples home but it really caught my attention.
My favorite life event is when I first went to Haiti last year. I went with my entire family and viewed a different way of life and living circumstances. It opened my eyes to how lucky I am for all of the riches that I have in my life and I am very grateful for that.
Los Angeles Riots of 1992 My "favorite event" is the L.A. riots of 1992 that occured after the aquital of 4 officers for the videotaped beating of Rodney King. Although I do not agree whatsoever with the riots' means, it did, in the end, bring 2 police officers to justice. It is also cool because the riot is frequently referenced in pop culture, including in one of my favorite shows, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. It parallels a similar incident that occured in the 1960's-- the brutal killing of Arthur McDuffy. In both instances, the men who were beat were African American motorists, and they were both assaulted by police officers.
At first I wasn't so excited about doing a history project but afterwards I got really into it. I found out so many more exciting things happened other then September 11 and Obama winning the 2008 election and me getting a bad haircut as a kid. The most interesting event I found was the successful cloning of the sheep. This was a breakthrough in the science field and showed that scientific advances can still be produced in our modern society,
My favorite life event was the 2008 Presidential election. This historic election broke many standards and will go down in history. This slection brought forth the first female presidential nomine, the first female vice president female nominee and the first black president of the USA.
I liked Brittney Alvarez's blog because she mentioned how her mother worked in the South Tower and that she made her mother late from work on September 11, 2001. i was happy that she shared it and that her mother is here today with her. Many people died that day and Brittney's mom was safe.
My most memorable event that took place during my time was Hurricane Katrina which struck the South Coast of the country and took out most states such as Louisiana. It left millions of people dead, lost, and homeless. If something like this were to happen again I wish we would just be more prepared.
I wouldn't say this would be my favorite event, more like the most memorable. The 9/11 attacks have left a huge impact on our nation and in my memories. I was in fourth grade at the time and our school was in a panic when the two planes flew into the twin towers. We, the students, could feel the urgency, but the teachers would not give any information except that there were "rumors" of the attacks, and immediately i felt nervous. My mother worked for Morgan Stanley on the 63rd floor of the south tower, World Trade Center. Thank God, I made my mother late for work that day and she did not get into the building.
I looked at Rachel Ruiz's project and the one that that stood out to me the most was her slide about the Tsunami of 2004. It affected millions of people and even some Americans. I felt that this was a tragic lost.
I think the event that I have remembered the most was Sept. 11 because I remember being in school and all of a sudden everyone was scared and parents were picking up their kids. Outside, everyone looked frightened and were rushing to get home. I remember my parents and my cousin went to Sunset park because it had a view of the city. They were able to see how the second tower was hit, and all you saw was gray smoke across the sky for days.
I liked Antova Herbert's comment on Hurricane Katrina because that is also a very memorable event. Hurricane Katrina was so disastrous and left such a huge impact on peoples lives. I remember being in Florida at the time and hearing about how the hurricane just about destroyed New Orleans and how many people who did not get out of the city in time had to take refuge in the large superdome.
My favorite event during the 1992- 2009 timeline was the Tsunami in South east asia. As devastating as it was in asia the power of the earthquake proved itself extravagant and powerful. The power of nature realy surprised me even though this natural disaster took many lives.
The most interesting event to me was the 2008 Presidential election. Barack Obama was the first African American President elect as well as president. Joe Biden was the first Vice President to be Roman Catholic.
One of my favorite life events was when Barack Obama was elected. I am proud to see an African American person in such a high autority. I hope he continues to do better and that his family stays safe as long as him too.
My Favorite "life" event would have to be the Inaugaration of our first African American President, Barack Obama. This not only gave people faith and encouragement to reach their goals and truly believe that they are capable of ANYTHING but it left a permanent positive mark on society.
In response to Shanice i feel the same way. The inauguration was something that i will never forget and hope others dont too. OBAMA will go down in history.
My favorite Event in History My favorite event during my life time was the Los Angeles Riots because it was an event that caused people to act together as one and fight for injustice. Although there was violence while fighting for the injustice there were good things that came out of these horrific riots. Many organizations were formed for example the Association of Korean American Victims. Also the links between different ethnic groups increased which provided more unity as a nation. Because of the beating of one man a great amount of people came together and tried to make a difference which is something that has been going on from the beginning of our nations history.
September 11 was a dredful day. It left America scarred and full of grief and sorrow. Americans, especially New yorkers were not only hurt but also became paranoid and fear became a big part in their lives. -Shanice M.
I think Ashley T's favorite event is really interesting. I think it shows alot when a state apologizes for their use of slavery. It's not everyday when you see a state show that much compassion toward something as critical as that.
I like the blog that Lisa wrote because the inaguration of President Obama was a historic event that brought tears to many people of every race. It was exciting to know that we were present in one of the most historic events of our nation. This event is something that will never be forgotten and will be told from generation to generation.
one of my favorite events from my project was when the apartheis in South Africa ended because I think segregation is wrong and to it put an end to really makes me happy. It also gives hope to other countries that are struggling, one day than can overcome.
The most important event that occured in my life history is the attacks of September 11,2001.When the Twin Towers were hit by 2 hijacked airplanes.This event changed the lives of many as well as mine.
i like Alejendra's event because I think it is a huge accomplishment to have an hispanic person be nominated to be apart of the Supreme Court. this will definitely cut down the racial barriers people think still exist and also shows the US at its best with so many miniorties coming to power nominated to come to power(eg President Barrack Obama
One of my favorite event that has happened in my life time would be the electronic freedom of information act amendment are signed by the united states president Bill Clinton. It was something in which gives us more information toward the what the united states.
i agree with redneal because it someething that we can relate to. also something to rmember for the rest of our life. even though it had effected so many people.
My Favorite event is the Inauguration President Barack Obama. Even though i wasnt in school to wath it with the rest of my classmates, i watched it at home because i didnt want to miss the whole Speech and ceremony.
Alejandra, I could not agree with your comment more. As a latina woman, I understand the significance of her nomination and I, too, am proud to be able to bear witness to this milestone in history. And I think all people, from all backgrounds, should be porud of not only Sotomayor's accomplishment, but also how far our nation has come since the days of segregation.
Alejandra, I more than agree with your comment. This historic event is setting precedence and will go down in history as a continuation of the civil rights movement and fight for equality. As a Latina, her nomination is inspiring. I am honored to be able to bear witness to this historical event.
One of my favorite events in my life time was the Blackout of the Northeast 2003 ,even though i was on my way back from Trinidad . I was one of the best events that i like personal.
I liked Alejandra's favorite events about the nomination of the first Hispanic judge in the Supreme Court. -Kha-D-sha McKain
my favorite event was the trial on former president Bill Clinton. i didnt know much about Bill clinton at the time because i was still a little girl and was new to presidency. hearing that Bill clinton had to go through a trial was very surprising because i always thought of him as one of the best presidents which i still do. the trail was very surprising to me and i am happy i got to research and read about it.
i agree with Rednael because it really was a big life experience that i went throught with as well. i really didnt know all about the world trade centers xcept that they were the most tallest buildings in manhattan. going through that tragedy was and still is very historical.
My favorite event from my project is the Convention on the Future of Europe. The event occurred in 2003 in order for the European Union to revise the way it works. Also, I liked this particular event because it shows that even though it happened almost 2 centuries after we established our U.S. Constitution, it sort of shows that we are like a role model to other countries around the world.
I like Trecia's favorite event because my mother's side of the family is Guyanese. Although I have never been to Guyana myself, I've always heard stories (good and bad)that make me want to go there someday.
I agree with Rachel's comment about the Tsunami in South East Asia.I hadn'e known either that it was an earthquake that caused this very tragic natural disaster. Although it had killed many people and took their homes it was a very interesting event.
One of Favorite events that happened in my life has to be the time when I went to Florida with my sister. To visit my grandparents, me and my sister stood with them for two months. We had a great time with out our parents.
I really do like the made comment about Fotini's trip 2 Greece because it is what she had experience with her Family. She had many good memories there.
My favorite event is the AIDS epidemic. The reason why is because i deal with the AIDS issue everyday at my job. I learned all the information and know what is going on with research and new information. Also it is my favorite because it is ironic to see that when the AIDS epidemic came to surface i was alive, even though it had been around for years befor. However due to iggnorance and discrimination, no one took it seriously.
I like Najimah's favorte event which was the Convention on the Future of Europe. The reason is becasue it is unique. I never heard of or about this before. Reading it made me understand more and learn something new not generic. I enjoyed learning something new and i want to look up more information on it.
I like Fotini's favorite event because I would like to visit Greece oneday. I think it would have many areas/sites that I would love. That day will be nice.
One of my favorite events in my lifetime would be when I went to Kings Dominion in Viginia. My mom took me and my bother here and we met up with one of my friends from school. Aqire' C.
My favorite event in history during my life time was the law allowing same sex marriage. this law gave people the opportunity to be happy together forever no matter what gender they are. this law is still being debated in many states but at least its being a subject to be debating over, everyone deserves to be happy
The event that sandra tlapanco rememebers the most is september 11.As she describes it is something i can identify myself with being that I was with her while this occured. And also because it affected us the same way.
I enjoyed reading about Andrea's favorite life event. She has traveled to Europe which is something I plan on doing later on in the future aswell. I can tell she enjoyed herself and i would love to ask her about her visit and the new experience.
One of my favorite events in my life time was when me and my family went Haiti. It was one of my favorite events and very memorable because I learned a lot about another country and how poor it was. It taught me to be very thankful for everything I have.
One of my favorite Life Events that iv experienced was the inauguration of Barack Obama. I found it intersting because HE was the FIrst African American to become President of the United States.
I would have to say I agree with Janet when she say's that Barack Obama becoming president had a great impact in our history because he is the first African American. Vanessa Calderon
My favorite one in My Face in History Project was the Nelson Mandela elected president of South Africa. I chose this one because not to many people focus on South Africa an for them to have such a great leader i find that amazing .
0H W0W!! Fotini i find that amazing that you went to your roots for two an half months straight and had a fun time to connect to your roots. I think i might have to do the same!
one of my favorite events I wrote about in the my face in history project was when Barack Obama became president of the United States.Iknow this is like the most generic response,but this is my favoritwe event i wrote about because this event was the stating point of something great. also, Obama proved those who said a African American can never hold a rank that prestigious.i was very prousd when i was at St.Francis watching the inauguration.
Another one of my favorite events is when the NAFTA agreement was made between Canda, Mexico and the U.S. because it unites the North American countries to improve the economy.
One of my favorite events in my life was the September 11 atacks. It was a really tragic event that not only affected the thousands of people that died in it and their families but also millions of peoples lives throughout the country.

I liked Alejandra's comment about the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor. I think it this was a really important accomplishment for the hispanic community. It gives us hope for the future and it encourages us to accomplish higher things in life.
the event i enjoyed most that happen during my life was the lection of Barack Obama. the reason i enjoyed this event was because i was able to celebrate with the school community and actually visualize the happines felt when Barack Obama was given the title of the next U.S President. this is even will surely go down in history and to known i was part of it is gratifying.
the event that Vanessa C choose was also another unforgettable event. this is probably one of the most tragic and unforgwettable evnts that i had to expereince. the sorrow i felt from families and the replys of the terrorist attacks is something that wil;l always remain fresh in my memory.

Leslie said... The event that I liked the most was the North American Agreement, which was formed by the United States, Mexico and Canada. I enjoyed this event because I think it has a great effect not only in the country that I live now but as well as the one that my parents onced lived in. It connects ma present to my roots because if I believe that an agreement like this would not exist there would be a greater tension between mexico and the united states. (Leslie you posted this under the wrong topic. SN

Your favorite life event sounds very intresting and fun. I've never been out of the country but I'm sure it is intresting.

The most interesting event to me was the 2008 Presidential election. Barack Obama was the first African American President elect as well as president. Joe Biden was the first Vice President to be Roman Catholic.
One of my favorite life events was when Barack Obama was elected. I am proud to see an African American person in such a high autority. I hope he continues to do better and that his family stays safe as long as him too.
My Favorite "life" event would have to be the Inaugaration of our first African American President, Barack Obama. This not only gave people faith and encouragement to reach their goals and truly believe that they are capable of ANYTHING but it left a permanent positive mark on society.

In response to Shanice i feel the same way. The inauguration was something that i will never forget and hope others dont too. OBAMA will go down in history.
My favorite Event in History
My favorite event during my life time was the Los Angeles Riots because it was an event that caused people to act together as one and fight for injustice. Although there was violence while fighting for the injustice there were good things that came out of these horrific riots. Many organizations were formed for example the Association of Korean American Victims. Also the links between different ethnic groups increased which provided more unity as a nation. Because of the beating of one man a great amount of people came together and tried to make a difference which is something that has been going on from the beginning of our nations history.
In response to Stacey's comment...
September 11 was a dredful day. It left America scarred and full of grief and sorrow. Americans, especially New yorkers were not only hurt but also became paranoid and fear became a big part in their lives.

I think Ashley T's favorite event is really interesting. I think it shows alot when a state apologizes for their use of slavery. It's not everyday when you see a state show that much compassion toward something as critical as that.
I like the blog that Lisa wrote because the inaguration of President Obama was a historic event that brought tears to many people of every race. It was exciting to know that we were present in one of the most historic events of our nation. This event is something that will never be forgotten and will be told from generation to generation.
I agree with AshleyT because of the pain that it schock ed her with . she made a very good point on that event as while as that the way people feel
one of my favorite events from my project was when the apartheis in South Africa ended because I think segregation is wrong and to it put an end to really makes me happy. It also gives hope to other countries that are struggling, one day than can overcome.

The most important event that occured in my life history is the attacks of September 11,2001.When the Twin Towers were hit by 2 hijacked airplanes.This event changed the lives of many as well as mine.
i like Alejendra's event because I think it is a huge accomplishment to have an hispanic person be nominated to be apart of the Supreme Court. this will definitely cut down the racial barriers people think still exist and also shows the US at its best with so many miniorties coming to power nominated to come to power(eg President Barrack Obama
One of my favorite event that has happened in my life time would be the electronic freedom of information act amendment are signed by the united states president Bill Clinton. It was something in which gives us more information toward the what the united states.
i agree with redneal because it someething that we can relate to. also something to rmember for the rest of our life. even though it had effected so many people.
My Favorite event is the Inauguration President Barack Obama. Even though i wasnt in school to wath it with the rest of my classmates, i watched it at home because i didnt want to miss the whole Speech and ceremony.
Alejandra, I could not agree with your comment more. As a latina woman, I understand the significance of her nomination and I, too, am proud to be able to bear witness to this milestone in history. And I think all people, from all backgrounds, should be porud of not only Sotomayor's accomplishment, but also how far our nation has come since the days of segregation.
Alejandra, I more than agree with your comment. This historic event is setting precedence and will go down in history as a continuation of the civil rights movement and fight for equality. As a Latina, her nomination is inspiring. I am honored to be able to bear witness to this historical event.
One of my favorite events in my life time was the Blackout of the Northeast 2003 ,even though i was on my way back from Trinidad . I was one of the best events that i like personal.
I liked Alejandra's favorite events about the nomination of the first Hispanic judge in the Supreme Court.
-Kha-D-sha McKain
my favorite event was the trial on former president Bill Clinton. i didnt know much about Bill clinton at the time because i was still a little girl and was new to presidency. hearing that Bill clinton had to go through a trial was very surprising because i always thought of him as one of the best presidents which i still do. the trail was very surprising to me and i am happy i got to research and read about it.
i agree with Rednael because it really was a big life experience that i went throught with as well. i really didnt know all about the world trade centers xcept that they were the most tallest buildings in manhattan. going through that tragedy was and still is very historical.
My favorite event from my project is the Convention on the Future of Europe. The event occurred in 2003 in order for the European Union to revise the way it works. Also, I liked this particular event because it shows that even though it happened almost 2 centuries after we established our U.S. Constitution, it sort of shows that we are like a role model to other countries around the world.
I like Trecia's favorite event because my mother's side of the family is Guyanese. Although I have never been to Guyana myself, I've always heard stories (good and bad)that make me want to go there someday.
Thanks to all students who have completed at least two postings.

I agree with Rachel's comment about the Tsunami in South East Asia.I hadn'e known either that it was an earthquake that caused this very tragic natural disaster. Although it had killed many people and took their homes it was a very interesting event.
One of Favorite events that happened in my life has to be the time when I went to Florida with my sister. To visit my grandparents, me and my sister stood with them for two months. We had a great time with out our parents.
I really do like the made comment about Fotini's trip 2 Greece because it is what she had experience with her Family. She had many good memories there.
My favorite event is the AIDS epidemic. The reason why is because i deal with the AIDS issue everyday at my job. I learned all the information and know what is going on with research and new information. Also it is my favorite because it is ironic to see that when the AIDS epidemic came to surface i was alive, even though it had been around for years befor. However due to iggnorance and discrimination, no one took it seriously.
I like Najimah's favorte event which was the Convention on the Future of Europe. The reason is becasue it is unique. I never heard of or about this before. Reading it made me understand more and learn something new not generic. I enjoyed learning something new and i want to look up more information on it.
I like Fotini's favorite event because I would like to visit Greece oneday. I think it would have many areas/sites that I would love. That day will be nice.
One of my favorite events in my lifetime would be when I went to Kings Dominion in Viginia. My mom took me and my bother here and we met up with one of my friends from school.

I enjoyed reading about Fotini's lifetime event.

My favorite event in history during my life time was the law allowing same sex marriage. this law gave people the opportunity to be happy together forever no matter what gender they are. this law is still being debated in many states but at least its being a subject to be debating over, everyone deserves to be happy
cristina pena
The event that sandra tlapanco rememebers the most is september 11.As she describes it is something i can identify myself with being that I was with her while this occured. And also because it affected us the same way.
I enjoyed reading about Andrea's favorite life event. She has traveled to Europe which is something I plan on doing later on in the future aswell. I can tell she enjoyed herself and i would love to ask her about her visit and the new experience.
Liliana Almonte
One of my favorite events in my life time was when me and my family went Haiti. It was one of my favorite events and very memorable because I learned a lot about another country and how poor it was. It taught me to be very thankful for everything I have.
One of my favorite Life Events that iv experienced was the inauguration of Barack Obama. I found it intersting because HE was the FIrst African American to become President of the United States.
Janet Guarneros
I would have to say I agree with Janet when she say's that Barack Obama becoming president had a great impact in our history because he is the first African American.
Vanessa Calderon
My favorite one in My Face in History Project was the Nelson Mandela elected president of South Africa. I chose this one because not to many people focus on South Africa an for them to have such a great leader i find that amazing .
0H W0W!! Fotini i find that amazing that you went to your roots for two an half months straight and had a fun time to connect to your roots. I think i might have to do the same!
one of my favorite events I wrote about in the my face in history project was when Barack Obama became president of the United States.Iknow this is like the most generic response,but this is my favoritwe event i wrote about because this event was the stating point of something great. also, Obama proved those who said a African American can never hold a rank that prestigious.i was very prousd when i was at St.Francis watching the inauguration.
Another one of my favorite events is when the NAFTA agreement was made between Canda, Mexico and the U.S. because it unites the North American countries to improve the economy.
One of my favorite events in my life was the September 11 atacks. It was a really tragic event that not only affected the thousands of people that died in it and their families but also millions of peoples lives throughout the country.

I liked Alejandra's comment about the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor. I think it this was a really important accomplishment for the hispanic community. It gives us hope for the future and it encourages us to accomplish higher things in life.
Karen Moreno
the event i enjoyed most that happen during my life was the lection of Barack Obama. the reason i enjoyed this event was because i was able to celebrate with the school community and actually visualize the happines felt when Barack Obama was given the title of the next U.S President. this is even will surely go down in history and to known i was part of it is gratifying.
the event that Vanessa C choose was also another unforgettable event. this is probably one of the most tragic and unforgwettable evnts that i had to expereince. the sorrow i felt from families and the replys of the terrorist attacks is something that wil;l always remain fresh in my memory.

The event that I liked the most was the North American Agreement, which was formed by the United States, Mexico and Canada. I enjoyed this event because I think it has a great effect not only in the country that I live now but as well as the one that my parents onced lived in. It connects ma present to my roots because if I believe that an agreement like this would not exist there would be a greater tension between mexico and the united states.
