I am actually on the bus right now blogging and nobody is sitting next to me. Actually, no one ever does. Eh. I honestly don’t care. Anyway last night I drew everything that is in Paw Patrol. Now my plan is to decorate the house with those little pups. Why Paw Patrol? It’s because Nihit and I are obsessed with paw patrol. Do you think its kind of weird that a middle schooler loves PAW PATROL?

Who knew that the African American woman who is a media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist, whose net worth happens to be  2.9 billion USD was actually born into poverty. Poverty 🙂 The state of being EXTREMELY poor.

Oprah Gail Winfrey Was born on January 29th,1954 on a farm in Kosciusko, Mississippi.   Her parents were Vernita Lee and Vernon Winfrey but the thing was they were not married. At a very young age, her parents separated. Because of the separation, the couple went on their own roads and started a new life. Therefore while they were living their life they had left Oprah with her VERY strict maternal grandmother.

Oprah used to get very bored in her grandmother’s house so she had started to read and play acting to amuse herself. She had also started she also began reading early, and her interest in reading eventually developed into a crusade to combat illiteracy.

A few years later at the age of six, she was sent to live with her mother and her 2 half brothers Jeffrey and Patrica who is also known as Pat in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Instead of living on a farm, she lived in a ghetto. Her mom had a lot of trouble with meeting her endpoints which meant Oprah had very little supervision and which lead to getting in lots of trouble. When her mom would scold at Oprah for bad behavior it would be like getting in one ear out of the other.

Because of all those problems Oprah’s. After graduating in 1976, Winfrey accepted an offer from the ABC affiliate in Baltimore, Maryland. The next few years were difficult. She battled with her

own emotions when reporting sad news and went through a humiliating experience when a news director decided to bill her as being Puerto Rican. When the station switched her to an early-morning talk show, she was relieved and felt that she had found her place. Winfrey spent the next few years honing her skills and was not afraid to tackle the difficult subject matter. In 1984, Winfrey and her producer, Debra DiMaio, moved to Chicago to liven up the lackluster A.M. Chicago show, which had been dominated in the ratings by Phil Donahue’s show for more than 15 years. Within months Winfrey’s show passed Donahue’s in the ratings.

By 1985 the show was going well and it was also expanding so they renamed the show to “ The Oprah Winfrey Show” Winfrey attracted scores of viewers, primarily women, who were attracted to her combination of boldness and vulnerability. A frank interviewer, Winfrey was equally honest when talking about herself. For years, she shared her uphill battle with her weight with her legions of viewers.

mother just couldn’t handle her anymore so she was sent to live with her dad and his wife Zelma in Nashville, Tennessee.  Vernon Winfrey, a barber who became a city council member, was a strict disciplinarian, but he also encouraged his daughter to read and engaged her in discussions. He demanded that his daughter add five new words to her vocabulary before she could have dinner each day. Under her father’s guidance, Vernon Winfrey, Oprah blossomed as a student.

But one day the most shocking thing and disturbing thing happened. At the age of 13, Oprah was sexually abused by a man. 9 months later Oprah was admitted to the hospital and had a baby boy but unfortunately a few minutes after he died.

After that, she went through a lot of depression and it was like the flower not getting flower and water. But her dad still gave her guidance and she blossomed back as a student, Daughter, granddaughter, and most importantly as a mother.

When Oprah was sixteen she won an oratorical contest that guaranteed her a full scholarship to the University of Tennessee. She also received an invitation to the White House Conference on Youth. At Tennessee State, Winfrey entered and won several beauty contests. She was subsequently offered a position by the local CBS affiliate television station and became Nashville’s first black female co-anchor while she was still in college.

Later Oprah had started acting and writing. Some movies she was in was “ Selma, The Color Purple, The Princess and the frog, the butler, The bee movie”, and lots more. Some of her books are “ What I know for sure, Journey to beloved, Make the connection”, and a few more.

So did you know this stuff I told you about Oprah Winfrey?

Fredrick Douglas spent his early years in a home broken, beyond most people’s comprehension. His mother, a slave was forced to leave him as an infant. He never knew the identity of his father. He lived in poverty, crowded into to two rooms with grandparents and cousins. Beyond that, Fredrick was a slave- listed on an inventory along with mules and bushels of wheat. His owner could sell him on a whim because, then in America, Slavery was legal. But all this adversity did not break the spirit of young Fredrick, for he possessed an intellectual curiosity undeterred by his circumstances.

At age eight he was sent to Baltimore as a house servant. He became fascinated by the “mystery of reading” and decided that education was ” the pathway from slavery to freedom.” Because it was illegal to educate slaves, Fredrick learned how to read and write by trading bread for reading lessons and tracing over words in discarded spelling books until his handwriting was smooth and graceful. By age 13 he was reading articles about the abolition of slavery to other slaves. When he escaped to freedom at age 20,  Douglass eagerly used his hard-earned wisdom to lecture against slavery and to fight for the emancipation of blacks, woman, and oppressed people.

His lifetime triumphs were many: abolitionist, women’s rights activist, author, owner-editor of antislavery newspapers, a fluent speaker of many languages, Minister of Haiti, and most respected African American orator of the 1800s. In his closing years at Cedar Hill, he was deemed the “Sage of Anacostia,” an accolade that celebrated the intellectual spirit within him that never grew old.

Should Students have to wear uniforms?

Do you guys think that kids have uniforms? Yes OR No? In my opinion, students should have uniforms. Here are the reasons why. “If it means teenagers will stop killing each other over designer jackets”, then our public schools should be able to require their students to wear school uniforms.  A uniform is not the same thing as a dress code.” No endless back and forth between child, parents, and school.” “School uniforms may deter crime and increase student safety.” School uniforms keep students focused on their education, not their clothes.”School uniforms create a level playing field among students, reducing peer pressure and bullying.” “ Wearing uniforms enhances school pride, unity, and community spirit.” “ School uniforms may improve attendance and discipline.” School uniforms prevent the display of Gang colors. “School uniforms make getting ready for school easier, which can improve punctuality.School uniforms can save parents money.” Most parents and educators support mandatory school uniforms.Most parents and educators support mandatory school uniforms.Students dressed in uniform are better and school.”School uniforms may deter crime and increase student safety.” School uniforms keep students focused on their education, not their clothes.School uniforms create a level playing field among students, reducing peer pressure and bullying. “Wearing uniforms enhances school pride, unity, and community spirit.” School uniforms may improve attendance and discipline.Uniform policies save valuable class time because they are easier to enforce than a standard dress code.Students can express their individuality in school uniforms by introducing variations and adding accessories. Those are my reasons why I support school uniforms. Tell me in the comment section down below to tell me do you agree with uniforms or not.

I researched about school uniforms to write this post. This is the article I read.

Yesterday we had no school because there was a wintery mix and I did so many stuff. Let me tell you what happened throughout my day. First I organized my room. Then I did my homework. After that, I took a shower. After the shower, I turned on the Disney channel movie Coco. It’s already on my T.V. and I watched it a million times already. When I say ” A million times already” that would be a hyperbole. In the middle of Coco, I decided to bake Devils Food Chocolate cake. Everybody loved it! So that was my day on 2/7/18.
