My Poem

My Poem
“I am Vianney, an African and a first line soccer player”

I am an African man and a first liner soccer player.
I wonder about soccer.
I hear a rap hip-hop music.
I see a huge soccer field.
I want to be a professional rap dancer.
I am an African man and I’m a first liner soccer player.

I pretend actually that I’m a big rap dancer in the world.
I feel great when people love everything that I do.
I touch everything that I like.
I worry when other team beat our Country soccer team.
I cry when something really hurts me.
I’m African man and a first Liner Soccer player.

I understand the truth that I know it’s true.
I always say something that someone likes to believe in.
I dream about something that I don’t know about.
I try to work hard if I really like it.
I always hope if someone is fine.
I’m an African man and a first liner soccer player.

New FEMA Head Appointed

I read this story about new FEMA on Scholastic News. This story talked about the Government and Mr. Bush arguing for the victims who were hit by the hurricane Katrina. Mr.Bush argued with the government because he didn't do his job well to help people who were hit by the hurricane Katrina. The government will pay to fix the damage to done by hurricane Katrina. The agent's boss,Michael Brown,has been criticized for FEMA is slow response to the disaster hurricane Katrina left hundreds of thousands of people homeless. In New Orleans, thousands was stranded without food, water or sanitation.
Many people there had a lot of trouble, President George W. Bush told the nation on Thursday night, speaking from Jackson square in the French quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana.
I heard that the government say that he isn't going to defend the process going in but President says he is going to defend to make everyone in America to understand how hard people work down there. I think FEMA is criticized and the new FEMA director is R. David Paulison. I think now he is a new leader for United States.
