Tuition will be raising at all colleges!

According to Yahoo News the cost of college will be rising for students the cost will raise by 5 percent annually. For student graduating this year well the average student will graduate spring 2011 with 22,900 dollars in debt but some students will be even worse. With this rise the cost of college will be 8 percent higher than last year. The normal Fafsa that you are use to getting the Pell grants will be much less than what you received the last two semesters. Since 2006 Americans with a college degree the unemployment rate for them is 4.5 percent and Americans without the unemployment rate is 9.7 percent.

It is proven that people that took student loans are in Debt over their heads. Debt leads to stress and unhappiness during and after their school years.  There are many people out there that pay on their student loans until they are in their late 40’s and 50’s. there is a case of a lady that went to school for one thing got a job in her major couldn’t pay her Debt because it didn’t pay more than her education cost then she went to become a lawyer which she is now and is 250,000 dollars in Debt and in unemployed  with no job.

This is just crazy makes me think twice before taking more student loans. I was reading and some people believe that student loans are all a scam for banks to make money and they are not looking out for students to get a quality education.  Obama said that he is making school cheaper to attend so that more Americans will attend college which to me is now what he is doing almost every school is raising the cost of the tuition and at the same time he lowered the amount of Fafsa that we will be getting in the future semesters making it harder for kids to go to college so is he really helping kids go to college or what?

I really hope that something changes soon so that kids can afford to go to school either lower the tuition or higher the amount of Fafsa we get. The main thing is that this scares me for the future between the gas prices rising and everything else getting more expensive I don’t know if anybody will be able to afford to go to school we will all have to work as hard as we can and barely be able to get by in life.

There is a 17 year old out there that got a 750,000 dollar offer!

According to Yahoo News there are still short people out there in the world that are considered basketball prodigies. In Patterson Maryland there is a boy by the name of Aquille Carr that is quick as lightning, high scoring and a show stopping point guard who is only 17 years old and 5’6 inches tall. When Aquille went to play in Milan Italy for a tournament for the USA junior team a team in Italy by the name of Lottomatica Virtus Roma offered Aquille a 750,000 dollar contract to come play in the professional European league in Italy. Aquille average 40 points a game when he played in the tournament they were at, in high school he average 33 points a game against top schools.



Is this crazy or what? I think that Aquille Carr should at least graduate from high school first because education is key. I’m not saying if I was in his position I wouldn’t take it I would actually consider it like he is there are several thing he would have to look at thou. One thing for him to look at is that he is only 5’6 so it would be really hard to make it to the NBA but if he was to go to Italy and prove his self there he could eventually go to the NBA from there.

I don’t take anything from Aquille because he is short I’m sure he could hang with the best of them. I watched him play on video this kid is fast as lightning and can spread the ball around the court and can score with it just as fast as he can pass the ball. This kid is good there isn’t any way anybody could take anything from him what he has accomplished and has got on video nobody can take that from him because what done is done and when you’re good your good nobody can say any different.

I really hope that this kid takes his time to make his decision if he decides to go to Italy or he decides to stay in school and try to go to college I would support both of them.  I could see where the money looks good but he also has to think about it the other way to basketball won’t always be there so he may want to have something to fall back on if all else fails.

CIA celibrates Osama Bin Ladens Death!

According to Yahoo News Sunday night the CIA gets a rare victory the CIA has been watching these two brothers since 2005 but never knew who they were but in 2009 they got information from some captured fugitives after they tortured them they started telling them what their names were of the two closest couriers of Osama bin laden.  But in August 2010 the CIA found where the brothers lived and found all information on the compound that they were living in and knew that besides the two brothers families there was another family living there that matched the size of bin laden’s family so the CIA kept investigating and found out the brothers have no source of income but they were living in a million dollar compound that was built to hide somebody with all the security features it had so finally that was enough to make the Obama order a strike to go into the compound were they found Bin Laden and his family and now the U.S. has custody of his body after a search that has been going on for more than 10 years now.

Osama Bin Laden was buried at sea because the U.S. tried to comply with his religious beliefs that the body should be buried within 24 hours but the U.S. could not get any other country to except his remains so they had no other chance but the Muslims are saying that this may cause a rally because they disrespected their religion. One Muslim representative said that this could count as an exception because they didn’t have a country to take him within 24 hours. Others are saying that this could lead to a conspiracy theory that Bin Laden was never really killed because the government will not release and pictures of him dead. That is because they need to keep it for future operations.

I really don’t personally think that Osama Bin Laden has any say or his people have any say of what we do to him or what we do with him because when he killed the 2,000 people in New York he didn’t give them any say if they want to live or where they want to be buried he just had them and the pilots killed he didn’t give them any say at all so I think that he should have been buried the same way how we want to do this.

I am happy as well as many Americans that Osama is finally dead now. This is a lot of relief to some people to know the man that ordered their family members to be killed is finally dead now that is a big relief for some people. It is good to know that the leader is dead now I just hope that nobody takes over and they try to retaliate against us for it.  

Dallas Takes DeMarco Murray!

According to the DFW the Dallas Cowboys selected DeMarco Murray in the third round of the NFL draft. DeMarco said that it was a surprise to him and his agent when he did not go in the second round of the draft but once the third round came around his agent told him that there is a very good chance Dallas will be the team to grab you. The agent told DeMarco that a team wouldn’t bring you down to their camp if they were not interested in you. The cowboys reported that they picked DeMarco because he is a Elusive back and can catch the ball really well and can block well too he can run inside or outside he can get the tough yards needed and he has the speed to get to the out or around the corner.



I think that this was a good pick for Dallas DeMarco is one of the best backs in the draft if not the best there was. DeMarco will fit in just fine in Dallas with the Offensive system they run he is the kind of back that they need he fits the system just right he can get the job done when he is called on and he can also get the job done on special teams if they decide to use him on special teams.

I think that there is not a better pick than DeMarco I like the way they he works and you couldn’t ask for a better personality he is a good guy that has a good attitude and I feel like all of that with how hard he works will bring him a long ways in the pro’s. If you watched the way that he talked about all of his teammates and stuff he gave them a lot of credit I guess all in all you could just describe Demarco Murray as a very humble person or athlete.

I have been watching DeMarco Murray ever since he started at Oklahoma when he was second string under Adrian Peterson and every chance that DeMarco got to get in the game he took full advantage of the opportunity and got big gains and shined. That why I knew that he was going to go to the NFL one day because of the way that he works and the attitude that he has. I feel that he will do really well in Dallas as long as he keep the attitude that he does.
