Music

My Fan Freak Out Moment
          On October 27, 2016, Kendall, Maya, and I went to the Allstate Arena to see a concert by our favorite a cappella group, Pentatonix. This group had five singers, Scott, Mitch, Avi, Kevin, and Kirstie, who sang a cappella covers. They have also made a few original songs, but they barely did this. Anyways, we went to the concert ALREADY freaking out; we can't help it. Once we got in the Allstate Arena, we were guessing what songs they were going to sing and not being able to except the fact that this was really happening. Once we were checked in, we got our seats, got some souvenirs, and waited for the concert to start. Once we heard Pentatonix's voices, Maya screamed at the top of her lungs! Kendall and I decided to join in because we were very excited, too. They sang a variety of different songs, including our favorite one, Can't Sleep Love. Towards the end of the concert, they performed another a cappella song, but without microphones. Their voices are very impressive, it was very hard to keep my fangirl screeches in. When it was time for the concert to end, we almost cried. LITERALLY!! We never wanted it to end...Maya, Kendall, and I really want PTX to come back to Illinois one day, so we can fangirl all over again. That night was one of the best nights of my life.

Which President Do I Admire?

Which President Do I Admire?
          I admire Barack Obama the most out of all the presidents because he made America great (*cough* not Trump *cough*) and he is inspirational. First, he is the first African American to become president! That's an amazing thing after all of the things that has happened in the past with whites and blacks. Next, he helped drop unemployment, which has been a problem for a very long time now. Then, Obama helped lower taxes, which has been another problem for 50 years! Next, 18 million more Americans got health insurance. This is a lot more than in the past. We have also caught more illegal immigrants, thanks to Obama. Last, he was president for four years, which is great for a person like him. 
          Barack Obama was a great president, and I wish he never left. Now we have the amazing Trump! *sarcastic voice* YAY! I wish Obama came back, because he was a great president, at least in my opinion. He changed the world for us, but in a good way. Now, it's time to deal with Donald Trump...
