My family really isn't considerably religious to start off with. Even though I was baptized in a Catholic church at a very young age, I find that labeling of religions is very problematic. My parents aren't the most religious people either, but I don't believe that makes them any less of a person.
While church may be a place to love and worship a higher belief, I believe that you are entitled to believe what you want to, and for that fact; choose to express that belief whether it is in your home or in a church. I also feel that sometimes some churches are very exclusive and institutionalized. I feel that they are prudent to some people, such as homosexuals (not accepting some for who they are even though they are people) While I'm going off with the negatives about what reasons to why I don't go to church, I just think that if you believe in something, you shouldn't have to prove it to anybody or by that I mean any association, for it will make you "closer" to that individual(s).

What would I do if I were rich?
If I were rich there are many things that I would like to do. First of all, providing for my family would be my first priority. I would buy my parents their so "called" dream house, cars, and also provide any of the best healthcare since my mom has diabetes and get some of the best healthcare for my dads back problems that he suffers from. My animals are also very important to me, so i would make sure they are well off.
Since I've volunteered for the Animal Rescue League for about 3 and a half years of my life, I would definitely donate in any way that I could. Also for some of the groups that I am a member of I would make contributions to help them expand their organizations in helping people and animals. Most importantly if I were rich, I would learn how to use that money wisely. I would maybe even make a business that all money that is made would be donated to a new foundation in need every two months or so.

I were old enough to vote in this years election
I was old enough to vote in this year’s presidential election, I would vote for Barack Obama. I would vote for him based on his intelligence, energy, and inspirations and not to mention him being charismatic. Also I would vote for him because he speaks with the gravity of a person who has thought long and hard about where he stands
He’s managed to establish an impressive track record as a state legislator, working on some of the toughest issues that face U.S. cities.
Although there are many people who choose to not vote for him simply because he is African American or perhaps his age, calling him “too young.” The fact is that John F. Kennedy was sworn in at a younger age than Obama who is now 45.While John McCain on the other hand would be the oldest president if elected to be inaugurated at the age of 72. Who determines what “too young” is? In the end, I would vote for him significantly because he's the only presidential candidate to whom I can in any way relate

Should college be at no expense?
I think that college should be free, or any sort of higher education for that matter, but there should be limitations on who that college allows. If college were to be free to anyone, there would be a major spike in the number of college students that would attend.
The opportunity for all high school students to be able to go to college would be an immense one, but there still should be certain standards to the college that are set. For example, if the student is attending a certain college, he or she should have maintained a certain GPA and depending on their transcript, determines whether or not they are able to attend the college. I think it would be a great idea for college to be free, for more students may try harder in school and be optimistic to the idea of going to college, rather than dreading the thought of money and knowing they can’t afford the school itself.

Most interesting person I've met
I've been a volunteer for the Animal Rescue League for about 4 years now on and off and I have been given many opportunities throughout it. About 2 years ago I was asked to volunteer for a very known person by animal people on television . When I found out who it was I was extremely excited about it.
Turns out the person who I was going to be helping was Cesar Millan. He came to El Paso to do a presentation sort of thing that people who paid to go see him, would have a portion of that money go ARL. I was very happy to be a part of it. When I first met him, I realized he was a short but handsome man. He was very polite and had a smile that was very friendly. Throughout his presentation he talked about how to walk a dog and to take care of it like he does on the show. After the presentation I was able to meet him face to face and he had a very nice personality which seen on television on his show, The Dog Whisperer. I even took a picture with him and you can find that picture on the El Paso ARL website. He's one of the interesting people I have met, and I appreciated that he even adopted one of the dogs we had at the kennel and took it back home with him.

The Scariest thing that ever happened to me
I was home alone one time, around the same time of year during this month. It was a chilly night and you could hear the branches of the trees rubbing against the windows of my home. My mom was dropping my dad off at the airport. I was watching a movie to keep my mind off of the noises I could hear outside.
Eating ice cream on the couch I heard a loud "bang!" and i dropped my bowl and stood up. My dog started to bark obnoxiously at the back two doors of the house. I was frightened and tried to call my mom. Turns out, that loud bang was an electric wire that had been cut from the strong winds outside. Thus, I had no power to the phone. I was extremely scared and then I heard noises in the garage. My dog and I, me following behind him, went towards the noise when we heard it getting louder. It sounded like scrambling and scratching on the door. When I opened the door my cat ran right between my feet. I had forgotten I had a cat at the time since I was completely paranoid from all the creepy noises outside. Pretty much the scariest thing that has happened to me.

Is the US economy really ok?
As debt is escalating a mere high, infastructures collaspsing and unemployment rising, I myself do not believe the US economy is really "ok." It is because of U.S and world finanicial systems that financiers cannot stop due to the systems they are running are the cause of its downfall. Many jobs are declining and unemployment is increasing.
The U.S is one of the largest debtor nations in the world. For this reason, the U.S is importing billions of dollars in goods and services than it is exporting each year. Foreign investors, included within the NAFTA agreement are holding money that the American people would be holding if the trade agreement within the U.S wasn't so dependent on other countries for such goods.
Also, the falling dollar has had an impact on the U.S economy as it hardly worth anything compared to other foreign countries. People can cash in their paychecks from other countries to U.S money and profit from expanding their dollar into U.S money and purchasing more than they would be able to in their own country. All of these factors that play out our economy does not lead it in any better shape than it already it is.
