Micheal Jackson Clip

My thoughts of this clip were that it was very unique. Michael Jackson is quite a dancer and he

shows exactly what he wants to his crew. He has passed away but still the power of both his dance 

moves and his voice is enough to keep his legacy going. Other artist in my opinion really cannot

beat Michael jackson because he truly loved what he was doing more than anyone does today,

even more than you would think. Not even Kanye West, 50 cent or whomever is ready for

Michael's level of expertise. Here is a link to the website. Michael Jackson Clip

My Picture

Giants!!!

The Giants easily ran through the early part of their schedule, stomping on every opponent the NFL put in their way. They did what good teams are supposed to do.
Now they get to find out how good they really are.
And the Giants can't wait, because they know they'll take a huge step up in class this week as they get ready for their showdown with the undefeated Saints in New Orleans. Giants (5-0) vs. Saints (4-0) on Sunday is the early "Game of the Year" in the NFC. It's certainly more of a challenge than the last three weeks, when the Giants steamrolled the Raiders (1-4), Chiefs (0-5) and Bucs (0-5).

"It is going to be a real big test for us," said linebacker Antonio Pierce. "Obviously we took care of business with the first five games. (This week) it's going to be one of obviously our biggest challenges so far."
That is the understatement of the year. Their 44-7 win over the woeful Oakland Raiders on Sunday was just the latest in a three-game romp over teams with a combined 1-14 record. To the Giants' credit, they outscored those creampuffs 95-23 and out-gained them 1,309 yards to 403.
But look who's coming next: The Giants - who boast the NFL's No. 1 defense thanks, at least in part, to a string of awful offenses - don't face another team that currently has a losing record until Dec. 21 (at Washington, 2-3). The combined record of their final 11 opponents this season is 33-15, which gives those teams fewer losses than the Giants' first six opponents (6-19). And the Giants still have to face three of the NFL's other four unbeaten teams, all on the road (at 4-0 New Orleans, at 5-0 Denver, at 5-0 Minnesota).
The biggest test, though, comes first against a team that leads the NFL with 144 points despite playing only four games so far. Led by quarterback Drew Brees (1,031 yards, nine touchdowns) and tight end Jeremy Shockey (18 catches, 162 yards, two touchdowns) the Saints are ranked third in total offense and seventh in defense and have outscored their opponents in the fourth quarter 45-2.
"We know they are very talented," said quarterback Eli Manning, a New Orleans product who'll be playing his first-ever game in the Superdome. "(But) we know they are very talented. Their offense is very explosive. They score a lot of points."

Congressional Black Caucus

On Thursday, September 24, 2009 I and a group of teenagers from Banneker along with our teachers and others schools went

to the Congressional Black Caucus. The Caucus was in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The first thing we went to

was a CBC Spouse Issue Forum and Essay Contest. After that we saw a film that was abou educating black boys. Next, we went

to a National Model for African American Males, presentations named From "Lincoln to Obama", "Young, Gifted and Black",

"The Youth Promise Act: A National Movement", and a film called Sticks and Stones may break my bones but words will never

hurt me.That was about it for Thursday because after this we went out to eat and then stayed at Washington Suites.

Friday, September 25,we went to a town hall meeting for emerging leaders. After we saw a film named Legacy: Black and

White in America Movie Screening. Next, we went to a meeting about Men to boys; Lessons to uplift Our Community. Then we

saw an Emerging Leaders series- iou ( I Owe University ). So after all this was done we just looked at the various organizations

that were at the Conevention. The organizations that caught my interest was a group of People that gave out Coca Cola for

free and people that were informing the publicly about the F.D.I.C. Finally we went out to eat and then went home.

For the last day Saturday, September 26 we went to Howard University an took a tour of the Campus. We saw the White

(not in person but from a pretty good distance). We rode on the bus for a very long time and then went to eat. We finally

arrived back in Brooklyn at around 10:00 P.M.

My goals, hopes and dreams

I have a few specific goals that if I do not meet I will feel as though I have failed

myself. My goal is to become a well rounded person and fathom who I am.

I have hopes for High School that I don’t believe will happen but I wish they do. I

hope that I meet really great friends in my years of High School. I mean bona fide friends not

just people who hit you up on AIM and then in person no one knows how “tight” you

two are. I also hope to meet a friend who is a girl that I can really “hit it off with” and I think is

perfect.

I have dreams for the future which I really want to come true. When I grow up I

want to become the C.E.O. of my own engineering business and if I can’t do this I would like to

be a biochemical engineer. My most important dream for the future is knowing that no matter

what, I am happy. I deem happiness important because I feel as though I need it. I don’t

necessarily want my life to be focused on one subject, I just want to be happy. If

this dream does not come true I will feel as though I lived for nothing.

. Always remember happiness is wanting what you have - not having what you want.

Obama Recieves Nobel Peace Prize

President Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize because he has done a number of noteworthy things, which have also generated

hope and excitement all over the world. A link to the Nobel Peace Prize site is Nobel Peace Prize

Obama has done various things
that show what the actions of an American President should look like. The other presidents that won it

are Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter and Theodore Roosevelt.

"for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples"

I believe in a way that when Obama won this award we all won it, not just us as

Americans but as people who live together in the same communities and work at the

same jobs. This is an excellent example set of proving that racism is slowly going

away if people still beleive it still has a full scale effect on society.

US Soldiers killed in Afghanistan!!

This attack was taking place in the Nuristan province, which was on the border

with Pakistan.Although the Americans fought back diligently the battled still

managed to continue and lasted into the afternoon, Col. Wayne Shanks. This

knowledge was not euphonius to the Americans at all when they heard of it. The

people of Afghanistan were not insouciant this time around therefore resulting in

the death of 8 American soldiers.
This theme is Imperialism. I say this because the United States is a

stronger, larger country attempting to dominate a weaker, smaller country which is

Afghanistan. The US and Afghanistan are at war and according to this article the US

has just lost 8 soldiers.Imperialisim is also portrayed as a policy of

extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force. The

US has its reasons for trying to imperialize Afghanistan.
A historical event that relates to this would be World War II when Hitler

tried to imperialized European countries. Although he managed to do most of what he

wanted he still had a price to pay. Just like the Americans lost 8 soldiers he lost

his soldiers too. America has lost more then 8 soldiers, this article only speaks of

8 soldiers being lost. In World War II Hitler lost a lot more then 8 or even 8,00

soldiers.

What do I like?

What's up people? This is Darren from Benjamin Banneker Academy For Community Development (BBACD)

Here are some of my hobbies

I read, the types of books are usually any books, but for the most part I like Non-Fictional books

My love of reading simply came from when I was a child, I began to read and I liked it.

Another one of my hobbies is writing, which intertwines with my love of writing since normally you might have to read to become an excellent writer or you might have to write to become an excellent reader.
