When I was in the 2nd grade i went on the most intresting field trip. I was surprised that my parents paid a lot of money just so i can go to the Lincoln Memorial. I can not expressed how i was feeling at that age, i was so happy. I took my bestfriend Jack, he did not have to pay a single penny. Our school was on fall break so that is when we went so i spent my whole break with my best buddy. We left on a saturday and got at our destination about Sunday night. The Memorial was obviously closed when we got there but i just couldnt wait any longer to go see and learn. As a little kid we all had dreams and my dream was to become President one day. Monday morning we got up pretty early and went out to breakfast. The food in Washinton D.C is amazing i had this meat skillet with over easy eggs on the top. After we enjoyed our delicious breakfast we headed to the memorial. I couldnt believe my eyes when we got there. …show more content…

We decided to stop.

No worries, I didn’t feel slighted at all. I considered it friendly banter, and I do have a tendency to say what I mean, and mean what I say :-) Therefore, I will point out that you did/do sound a bit patronizing, i.e. “well meaning” which denotes failure. This doesn’t offend me, in fact, I find it amusing :-) Liberals have a a plethora of tremendous accomplishments, that could be said began with Lincoln ideals.

I am Abe lincoln, the 16th president. When I became president many states withdraw from the union.

There is something I want to share that I was privileged to enjoy these past two weeks. My son and I went to visit our family in Mt. Pleasant and Charleston, SC. We managed to see some of the historical sites from our lessons while we visited. My Aunt Laura is a Charleston native and is now retired from her job as a staff member where she worked at the White House (Democratic) for many years. The best thing about the trip was the visit because the area is so rich in history.

Attending the Civil Right Museum was a very enjoyable experience. The staff at the museum was very helpful, courteous, and offered a lot of insight about the exhibits. I could tell that they were educated about the issues of oppression that African American faced. The exhibit were very detailed, such as the sculpture were life like and the audio and visual displays seemed to almost take you back to those times, so attending these types of museums is often a very emotional experience for me. This museum in particular was hard for me to be in because Martin Luther King was actually killed there, so I felt overwhelmed at that thought and did not even view the room he was in prior to his death nor did I go into the room were the shots were fired that took his life.
