My most rememorable thanksgiving ever

Well i don't really have a most memorable thanksgiving because to me they are all the same i eat and have fun with my family. The only thing that was different this year was the cake, we did not have any red velvet cake and sometimes that is the best part about thanksgiving if the cake is cooked right. But other then that i have enjoyed all of them the same.

Ron Clark

I think that was a great inspiring story that was my first time seeing it and i loved it. I think the way he stuck by those kids and helped them through their hard times and the situations they were going through was amazing. He saw that potential was in each of his students when everyone did not, when everyone doubted them and only wanted them to see and do wrong. He helped get them on the right track it took some time because all they knew was street and every teacher that had ran out on them, they expected him to do the same but instead he stuck by their side. People can really learn something from this movie, because it is alot of kids that might need a role model in their life when something is going wrong at the home or they are just having problems in their life. Their are some kids like one of the characters in the movie (Shamika) who wanted to act out and show that she did not care for anything but being bad she was doing this because her mother was always at work and she had no one at home with her but her little brothers and she had to watch them while her mother worked, no one paid her any attention and she felt as if no one cared. But with the help of Mr. Clark he opened her mother's eyes and showed her that she has a smart Daughter and that she could be anything she want to be as long as she put her mind to it and he was going to help her get into a better school shamika's mother could not believe what she was hearing but she gave it a chance anyway. Mr. Clark helped out every student in his class and they did excellent on their test which they scored above average. I really enjoyed this movie alot. The kids just needed some motivation and inspiration to help them get going. I feel like they were just wanting and needing someone to care and to show them they care and that is what Mr Clark did
