Andrew Jackson, in my opinion, will be a great president because of his upbringing. He has experienced many hardships of being raised a poor boy and knows what it is like to live off of very little. He will probably be a good president because he was a poor boy and won’t want anyone [...]

If I was in a band, we could play some songs [...]

Perfect Classroom
My idea on the prefect classroom is one where nobody does anything stupid and does everything right. If everyone does this, then nothing goes wrong, and you get done faster. Those are my views on the perfect classroom. Since this never happens, there can’t be a perfect classroom.
