A Note to Obama

On Tuesday November 22, 2011 President Obama was interrupted at A Manchester High School by many occupy protestors while giving a job speech. The Occupy movement is an international protest movement that's primarily directed against economic and social inequality. The protestors used the "human microphone" method only minutes into his speech to gibe attention to the arrest of protestors in Occupy movements all around the nation.
The students quickly drew the attention away from the speech as they began to shout "Obama! Obama!".
After his speech a member of the movement was able to push through the crowd to get close enough to Obama to pass him a note. The note read:

"Mr. President: Over 4000 peaceful protesters have been arrested. While bankers continue to destroy the American economy. You must stop the assault on our 1st amendment rights. Your silence sends a message that police brutality is acceptable. Banks got bailed out. We got sold out."

President Obama is not the first politician to be pinpointed by the Occupy movement. But my question is what do they expect him to do? President Obama can not make all of the changes in America. We can not expect that every politician has the power to fix all of our economic problems. We all go through hard times and yes the economy is going through trying times but for us to expect one person to change it all we are only hindering ourselves from becoming great leaders. Why can't we work to change our issues in a logical way? Sometimes protesting only makes the situation worse.

My Inspiration

In small and large ways, we are all inspired. We draw our inspiration from people, pictures, art, music, behavior, nature, etc. Consider something that inspires you and write a blog post of 300-350 words about it. Here are some things you may touch on:

• Describe the source of your inspiration- be specific and detailed.
• What feelings or emotions do you experience?
• Are you alone or do you share this inspiration with others? Are you aware of others having an alternate reaction to your source of inspiration?
• Forecast how long you think this inspiration will last- does it inspire you in the moment or something that you will derive inspiration from for the years to come?

My inspiration stems from the power of emotion and the fact that it is almost time altering. One person can go from a state of happiness to being sad in a matter of seconds. I think it is a beautiful thing. Everything I do I get emotional about, especially my music. My music is my craft and ultimate passion. Rather it be instrumental, lyrical or through choreography I put every bit of myself into it and it is purely an emotional thing. The power of emotion can run a nation because that’s what drives the passion to do so. The power of emotion can build a relationship, start a revolution and comfort an aching soul. When we grieve our body is filled with emotion just as when we are happy. Emotion pretty much runs what we do a human beings. Love and emotion are to different things so on that level I won’t even try to compare but in order to love emotion does have to be involved. When my body becomes controlled by emotion I tend to become very spontaneous. I do things off of impulse and sometimes shoot for satisfactory. Most times instant gratification is what I’m trying to obtain. But overall I wouldn’t be able to function without emotion or being able to use my emotions to be successful.
