Car Accicent Story

At 4:45 a two vehicle car accident at the intersection of First Street and Slaughter lane accord leaving 3 peoples life at steak.
   
"The accident was between a Yugo and Studebaker vehicles. The Yugo being driven by John Jacob Jingleheimer-Smith with his wife ,the passenger Melba.And the Studebaker driven by Roger Clementine.Clementine was going 60mph west in the eastbound lane on slaughter traveling ,while Smith was going 10mph in the eastbound lane heading east," said police officer Walter Higgins.

The accident was bizarre,considering one of the drivers involved was driving against 

traffic.
  
"it was a crazy accident to see happen,and I'm extremely thankful i wasn't involved" bystander Mary Garcia said. 
    
Garcia was just next to the accident when it happen. And she was extremely thankful her and her kids were not the ones involved. 
    
"i was just one lane over from the crash,it could have easily been my kids and I," said Garcia.

It was just a normal sunny day in austin,with the usual activity happening on the streets of slaughter and first ,and suddenly before you know it the accident accord. 


"I was just doing my job as usual then next thing i knew i heard cars crash, so i turned around and saw this very accident," Ben Howard ,a construction worker that was working just some feet away from the scene of the car accident.

   
At around 4:55 is when the paramedics and police showed up and took john and his wife to the hospital where she was released and treated with a bloody nose. while he was said to have a serious head injury. 

"Melba was released with just a bloody nose, but John is still in the hospital being treated with a slightly severe head injury at the moment," said Patrick Gold a paramedic at the crash.


Roger was taken by ambulance to University Medical Center Breckenridge and was treated for minor cuts to his face and released. 


"And as for Roger,he was treated for a few cuts and was released not long ago," said paramedic Gold.



Clementine is later charged for many things he was doing wrong.


"Clementine is being charged for driving without a license, driving in the wrong lane, and speeding," Said Police Officer Samuel Garza.


 The car outcome of the accident was the studebaker ended up with a completely crumpled fender, and the yugo was extremely totaled in the front due to the head on collision.

With the filed police charges that were cited Roger Clementine seems to be the faulty driver in this accident situation.

STORY:
Years ago Julius and Cindy had dated but broke up.And months later Cindy had met a new guy named Brock. Brock and Cindy where so in love and Brock had even decided he wanted to marry her.So that is when he was going to do.
  Months pass and it is now November 22, 2007 ,Cindy and Brock's wedding day.And raining outside.They had decided to have a church wedding and invite friends and family. Including Cindy's passed boyfriend Julius.
     That day Julius has contemplated going to the wedding but wasn't sure because he still had feelings for Cindy and didn't want to ruin her big day with Brock.
Julius had gotten all dressed up in his suit and tie, and was ready to go. And Cindy was doing the same. But instead Cindy was in a room full of bridesmaids putting on a beautiful white dress, and talking about her groom to be. While Julius was contemplating on going to the wedding in general.
   On his way to the wedding Julius had decided against going and instead just drove. Along his ride he passed many different scenery. The seaside ,rainy forests,and midland. Something along his drive triggered Julius and made him realize that he didn't want Cindy to marry Brock. He realized that he didn't want her to be with any one else but himself ,so he turned his Jetta around and drove himself lightning fast to the wedding. Julius started to plot out his plan to stop the wedding and started to get sweaty and clammy,while anxiously checking the time every so often.
   Julius had finally arrived at the wedding. He stormed through the doors mid ceremony and everything stopped.Everyone stopped to turn to the commotion , that was Julius. Cindy turned her head and couldn't believe her eyes so much that she had to double take the sight she was looking at.Her and Brocks face were absolutely stunned. Once Brock had realized what was going on, his face turned from shock to rage.And with the whole room staring at him Julius had nothing to say about his actions.

Long Response: 
Congress voted yesterday to override the first veto in President Barrack Obama's tenure. Read the story on page A1 "Congress overrides veto of 9/11 bill."

On Wednesday a bill President Barak Obama wanted to pass that has relation to 9/11 was denied. The bill allows people whims families were effected in the terrorist attack on 9\11\2001 to have the right to sue Saudi Arabia. The significance was to let people who were effected by the tragedy to gain some sort of  middle ground with those who negatively impacted there lives forever. However,  President Obama did warn the possibilities of Other countries might feel as if they can do the same to saudi arabia, and may cause other problems.No i don't think America should be able to sue other countries when we are so fortunate to have the money and luxuries we have, and especially with this situation of 9/11 i think it would just cause more international tension with america and other nation.Yes i think there will be major repercussions, because it just going to show that all we the people and our government want is money.

Student of the Month

In September of 2016 freshman Liam Connally won student of the month at James bowie high school, because the staff thought he deserved it because of his high effort. 
    Liam may not   
"Liam puts in so much effort toward his school work," biology teacher Randall Smith said.
In classes it is no lie Liam always has a smile on his face when working with his fellow peers and asking with his teachers.
"Winning student of the month is a big deal and i am not shocked that Liam won, with all the hard effort, and good attitude he has i see from him," Principle Susan Leos says.
Other people have other priorities like sports, or hobbys, but liams number one priority is school. 
"yes, school is very important," Liam Connally said. 
Liam may not be involved in extra curricular activities or make straight A's but with his ideal student attitude and respect for his teachers it just shows as to why he was chosen for student of the month. 
"im not really involved much in extra activities," says Liam. He prefers to just primarily focus on his school work.
" Liam is different, a good different," Algebra teacher Samuel Garza says.
Other people may think this award belongs to someone with more charisma ,extra curriculars and straight a's. How ever thats just a silly stereotype that was given long ago. Now principles and staff are starting to see the other qualities in students that make them stand out. Liam Connally is different to his fellow piers. 
"He tends to be his own individual, which is one of the many admirable traits about him," his algebra  teacher Samuel Garza further says.
Instead of following the new trends and being on social media all the time. Liam devotes about 3-4 hours on home work a night and fully devotes himself to school. One day he has high hopes to got to college when he graduates high school in 4 years. 
Liam Connally is different. He Doesn't like football games, he doesn't enjoy pep rallies  and prefers to focus on the future of his life that matters.
"Its very refreshing now a days to see kids that don't fit into the normal cookie cutter stereotypes of these awards win," Sarah Williams a active PTA mom says.
With Liam winning student of the month it really showed prominent diversity and change of stereotypes in staff given awards. "Liam makes an excellent asset to the list of names under Student of the month," principle Susan Leos of Bowie High School says.

Long response :
With Texas primarily being a republican state and having an extremist like Donald trump as the republican candidate it has turned many texans democratic voters for this election.But,Texas is only one in 50 states of voting making it have low significance.
The voting stats for Texas are probably changing do to our heavy Mexican community that are not okay to vote republican with a man like Donald trump who has numerous times stated he would like to build a wall to keep Mexicans out of the U.S. 

Yes i believe the polls for the presidential are that close , because the U.S is so large it doesn't surprise me how many people are pro republican, but if i could vote right now i would vote for Hillary Clinton because she is the better of the two evil and has more humane ,non narcissistic plans for the united states.I think my parents have a large influence on my political views.I hope voters will take into consideration that the way the worlds political stance has been this year and how possibly having a dictator like leader might affect us.I think United States struggles in acting like we are better than everyone because we have money and the world struggles with accepting people.The president kind of acts indirect peace maker in these issues.
