How Great Is Our President?

I thought this was really neat and something so great that is beyond comparison to any of our other presidents. This made a HUGE impression to everyone I'm sure. Its hard to think that a President would do something like this with so little time. A young girl who was a 5Th grader from Philadelphia was being bullied at school. She knew she needed to fix her situation but wasn't getting the help she needed. So, she reached out to the President of the U.S. Asking him for help. President Obama then wrote out to the young girl give her some words of encouragement! Is this the first time he has ever reached out to the younger generation? No....

There was another young girl from GREEN BAY, Wisconsin. The father ,John Corpus, stood to ask Obama about health care during the president's town hall style meeting at Southwest High School on Thursday June 11,2009. He told President Obama that his daughter was missing school to attend the event and that he hoped she didn't get in trouble. What did President Obama do? Well he wrote her a personal note to her teacher from President Barack Obama. Excusing her from class the day of the event.

Would You Die For A WII Game System?

There was a contest in California to win a WII game system. All you had to do is hold your pee. Yes, your pee. Seems easy right? All you needed to do was drink water every 15 minutes and not go to the bathroom. Whoever held it the longest won the gaming system. Unfortunately it took a terrible turn, a women name Jennifer Strange who was 28 years old, was found dead Friday in her home just hours after taking part in the “Hold Your Wee for a WII” contest. She held her pee for 16 hours, and died later that day because of water intoxication. How sad this story is. What she did for her children. Although she passed away her family still did receive the WII gaming system.

Women Stuck Under Fridge For 4 Days!

We know how useful a refrigerator can be. Storing all our frozen and cold foods in it. What if it actually became a danger though? How, you might be thinking? Well there was a women from California who was trapped for 4 days under her refrigerator! When I was reading this I could not understand how something like this could happen. She said "It was top heavy from food in the freezer. When I opened it, it fell on me!"

First of all, I had no idea this could actually happen! I thought there was something to keep them from doing that like a so called design. The real question is however, How did she remain stuck underneath it for 4 days?? During the 4 days she was falling in and out of consciousness and her back was cut up by glass. She had tried to throw a bag of frozen peas out the window to break the glass so someone could hear her. With no success, she was stuck.

Finally, A man who was canvassing a political campaign went knocking on doors, heard a women crying for help. With her helping him to find a way in, He opened a sliding door and saw her trapped all the way up to her thighs under the fridge. He then helped her and contacted 911 to make sure she was going to be ok. Yes, she lived to tell this story to her family as this will live on for generations to come...
