Flight 1549

The plane that I was fling in was a commercial passenger flight that ditched in the Hudson River adjacent to midtown Manhattan about five minutes after takeoff. When US Airways Flight 1549 splashed down in the icy Hudson River, I was too busy getting my friend off the slowly sinking plane and out of the swift-moving water to worry about dying.
Now that I have had weeks to remember it, every time I try to fall asleep, I can't think about much else.
I see passengers crying and praying. The desperate scramble to escape as water filled the aisle. The look on my friends face as they huddled cold on a wing, wondering whether the ferries in the distance would arrive in time to save them.
Luckily, there were no fatalities or major injuries, and all passengers and crew made it off the plane safely.

The first thing that I would ask our 44th president would be that if his ready to take the leadership over the states…
The most important issue to me is the immigration because each day I see people in the news that they are losing their hope of being with their family. "This country came to be and became what it is on the back of immigrants." Young children who have been brought to this country have a right for higher education. We need to change the law so that they can contribute to our society by getting a good education. Our immigrant people are 40 million hard-working people, brave, strong, enterprising, intelligent and people of faith, who started a journey of faith by fleeing poverty and the lack of resolve due to the constant socio-economic problem of Latin America.
I would want to let him know that we all have dreams of going to college and have a good education and a good future I would want for him to give students the chance to go attend to college and make their dreams come true by helping us with a scholarship. I think this is a good way to make a brighter future for young people in Irving, Texas.
