Is King still king?

I think that in today's society Dr. King isn't being talked about as much anymore. I think that most African Americans take for granted the freedom that they have now and do not realize the sacrifices that he made for us. We treat the Monday we have off as just a free day from school and not the day we are supposed to honor him. For our grandparents Dr. King was a martyr for his people and most of us aren't even sure of the facts of his life and his actions while he was living. I think that we should devote at least one week in our history classes to studying in detail his life and activism.

Music Review

The song that I will be reviewing is Fingerprints by Katy Perry. The first time I heard this song was on the way to my eighth grade graduation and I immediately put the song on repeat. I realized that the eight years I spent at that school did not impact the school. I would just be another student. I decided that when I got to high school I wanted to be known by something that I had done. I wanted everyone in the school to remember me and know that I had impacted the lives of every single person there. But when I got to Whitney young I realized that that was almost impossible. Now at my senior year I see that I haven't reached that goal. But I have done something else. Impacted the lives of those closest to me.
