Friendship Moldings

How do experiences in a relationship mold your future decisions and relationships with others?

Today i am well educated, but if it wasn’t for the fight i had with my my 2 best friends i wouldnt be able to handle many things today. Me and friends would always fight about me hanging out with new people and they didnt like it. They wanted me all to themselves and i guess u could say that they were selfish. Today my friends are still like they were when we were little, but they get us to it.

INTRODUCTION

He was known for his accomplishments as Secretary of State as a Congressman. He tried to convince the nation to engage in a large scale cultural and economic development. He was also the first president who was the son of a President. He was elected in 1824. Have you figured out who i was describing yet… JOHN QUINCY ADAMS!

EARLY LIFE                                                    

John Quincy Adams was born in Braintree, Massachusetts,July 11,  1767. Adams was born to his mother, Abigail Adams, and his father, John Adams. He witnessed the Battle of Bunker Hill at the age of 9. Adams spent much of his childhood in Europe, mostly in France. At the age of 15, Adams served as Secretary to the Mission to Russia.When Adams was returning to the United States, he studied at Harvard. After his graduation, he studied law. President Washington appointed Adams Minister to the Netherlands in 1794. He held this position until 1797, when he became Minister to Prussia. In 1802, he was elected Massachusetts State Senator. In 1803, he was elected U.S. Senator. From 1809- 1814 Adams served as the first U.S. Minister of Russia. In 1814, he became the head of the delegation, charged with negotiating the Treaty of Ghent which ended the War of 1812. From 1815-1817, Adams served as Minister to Great Britain.From 1817-1825 he was Secretary of State in the Monroe administration. Adams ran for President in 1824, and lost in both the popular and electoral votes. Andrew Jackson received 99 electoral votes, Adams 84, William Crawford 41, and Henry Clay 37. No one had a majority of the electoral votes, the decision as to who would be president was made by the House of Representatives. The House elected Adams over rival candidate Andrew Jackson. Adams served as the sixth President of the United States from March 4, 1825 until March 4, 1829. 
Adams died February 23, 1848 in Washington, DC from a stroke.

SUPORRTING

I support John Adams because he served as the United States sixth president. Not only was John Adams our sixth president, but Adams was the first son of a president to become a president. Adams is a good man to supprot because he become a Secretary of our state. I think the main reason I think i would support Adams is because he knew what people wanted and he gave it to them to have. I guess i could say if Admas was alive today and was running for president I would trust every word he said. Although Adams did ignore support needed in Washington, even among his own party. Faced throughout his term, Adams refused to forge the political alliances necessary to push his ideas into policy. Adams was later replaced by Andrew Jackson.

HOW ARE ISSUES TODAY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE IN PAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS?

In this election, nominations came from state legislatures and not from congressional.  Adams’ followers referred to themselves as National Republicans.  Supporters of Jackson were called Jacksonians.  The Jacksonians eventually evolved into the Democratic-Republicans and finally the Democratic Party. The campaigns of both men focused more on personalities than political issues.  Adams was accused of using taxpayers’ money for personal benefit and of offering up an American servant girl to satiate the desires of the Czar of Russia.  Jackson was accused of being a gambler, a duelist and a slave trader.  He and his wife were also labeled adulterers. Back then if you were black you wouldn’t even be allowed to vote, wether the less become or run for president. Women in the 1800’s were probably not allwoed to vote like the blck people. Now a days, it doesn’t matter what color or rase or gender, you can vote for anyone running, accept if your under 18.

I WOULD VOTE FOR JOHN ADAMS IF HE WAS STILL ALIVE TODAY!

FOR JANETS EYES ONLY

1) Why did you choose to do a film of Johnny Clem?

I chose to do a film on Johnny Clem because it was a project! My teacher was having my class, well our whole team, do a project. I don’t want to make it seem like i had to do the project, but i really enjoyed learning how to make a movie and learning about Johnny Clem. 

2) How long did the project take you to complete?

I would have to say that the project took me quite awhile, not because I had no idea who Johnny Clem was at first, but because I didn’t know the first thing about making a movie! The project actually had two parts to making it. The first part was to find information on our famous 19th century hero. The second part of the movie making process was to record music and my voice of what was going on through the movie. I also had to look through pictures for a slide show, so that people wouldn’t get bored watching my movie and looking at a black screen the whole time. The reason i wrote slide show was because basically the movie i made was a slide show, but only i didn’t have to keep clicking to move from slide to slide.

3) What did you enjoy most about making the film?                                              

The thing i enjoyed most about making the film was learning about someone from the 19th centry and learning how to make a movie.   

 4) What new skills did you learn from making the film?                                        

One thingys for sure i learned how to use the computer better and i learned  how to use programs that i never even new about.

5) What feedback from your classmates and school have you had?                  

Well, throughout my team i was the only person to pick Johnny Clem, but i did notice that a lot of people throughout my class and team looked at my video because i was the only person to do Johnny Clem. As for Abraham Lincolin, well let’s just say that he was a very popular chose that people picked for this project.

*IF IT WASN’T FOR MY TEACHER MR. BOGUSH I WOULD STILL BE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE MY MOVIE   THANK YOU*

STUFF TO DO:

This is a cool website to create your own  family!

YM NOISSAP

Can u read my title? Well, my title is my passion. Even though you probably see other people on this website with the same title, i put mine backwards because i always do things differently or backwards, in this case! An example of doing something differently is i had to do a presentation on anything, but had to relate to the nineteenth century. Well, being different, i did my presentation, only i didn’t know to relate it to the nineteenth century even though it was right their infront of me! I did my presentation on how kids in Wallingford should only have 180 days of school instead of 185 days of school. I still did well on my project even though i didn’t do it right, but i did pick a topic that no one else thought of, which was obviously different.

My MOVIE.. aka: the BEST movie you will ever see!

Christmas Is my Favorite Time Of The YEAR

My birthday is in December and i love all the snow that falls on the ground. But my favorite part of December is .. when.. Christmas comes around!!! I like the season because of the crisp cold air. I also like getting presents even though it is better to give than recieve! I love watching the snow fall on the ground and when ever i play in the snow the first thing I do is fall to the ground and make a snow angel!! (: I like building snowmen too, but making them can sure be alot of work. After playing in the snow i love sipping a hot cup of hot chocolate and watching T.V. I love winter time and wish that it never had to end!
