US sanctions on Russia

     Trump and the US just sanctioned Russia to target Russian oligarchs that are tied to Putin. The sanctions are because of few events: these events were the poisoning of a Russian spy in England, the Russians tampering with the elections, and the biggest cyber attack in history. Trump credits himself as being the toughest president on Russia because of the tough sanctions he has placed on Russia. The US is planning on targeting successful businessmen and political figures that have close ties with Vladimir Putin.

     The US is also urging is close and strong allies to take the same steps they are taking and to have strong sanctions on Russia. The US expelled 60 Russian spies and diplomats in response to the death of the Russian spy in England. Trump's administration wanted to hold a news conference but eventually decided not to. Trump's administration is still pressured from Russian hawks to take more sanctions on Russia. I agree that these sanctions are needed in the battle with Russia and the unjust practices of Vladimir Putin and the Russian government. With Trump putting these sanctions on Russia could lead them to a possible war though. If a war does break out it could be detrimental to everyone in the world. I do not believe the sanctions will lead to a war because Russia and the US and have been putting sanctions on each other for years. I hope theses sanctions push Russia into changing and stop the corruption.

Story in the Summer Week Two

I was at my house with my friend Ben. Ben and I decided to go outside and play basketball. We decided to play horse. It was a close game but I beat Ben in the game even though Ben is a lot better then me at basketball. Ben was really angry because I won by making a shot that I probably I would never make again.  Ben and I then decided to play a one on one game to twenty-one. I went up twelve to four then Ben started to make a comeback and had the game within four points. I then hit a three in which put me up on Ben fifteen to eight. I eventually one the game twenty-one to seventeen. I was happy because I usually never beat Ben in basketball because he has played it a lot longer then I did.

Strengths and Challenges

     One of my strengths is that I can make personal connections within my writing. This strength helped me in my personal narrative and connect my life. Another strength of mine is being able to write short response to a topic. This strength helps me in other classes besides English because I use this strength in history.       One of my challenges is that I am awful with grammar. I tried to fix this challenge over the year and it improved a little bit, but I still had to practice on it and use Grammarly a lot. Another challenge of mine was researching a topic then writing about it. I really had trouble with the research project because of this challenge

As you get older what have you found success in?

     I found success in multiple things as I got older. One subject in school I have found success in is Social Studies. I think I found success in Social Studies because I find it interesting and like learning the subject. I also found success in running cross country. When I started cross country in seventh grade I was awful at it. In eight grade I wasn't much better. But now I am breaking 11:56 in the two mile and on the ninth grade and under team. Cross country has made me a great person and I hope I do it throughout my whole high school year.     Another thing I found success in is lacrosse. Lacrosse is a really challenging sport and that what I like about it. Lacrosse always challenges me to do my best. I have found success in this by being on a varsity team and being on a select lacrosse team. These things are some of the things I have found success in.
