Every time an election rolls around,people want to know what each candidate’s stance(立场)is on the issue that are important to them.In deciding which candidate 1 want to vote for, there are two main issues for me:the economy and education.
These issues are important to me because they affect me the most right now.The economy affects everyone,and education is important because t am about to enter college.When I looked at how each candidate views these issues,one man stood out to me,and that is Democratic candidate Barack Obama.
I like a11 of Senator Obama’s ideas for improving the economy.He wants to bring the troops home from Iraq,thereby saving the $12 billion we spend there every month.Another point that Obama makes is that the United States’ current energy policy is hurting the economy. He believes that if new energy bills are passed,it will help the U.S.get out of its current economic slump,and I agree.With these ideas and strategies,I strongly believe that Obama can improve the current state of the economy.
Obama also has a plan to improve education.He believes that we need to start educating children at a young age.He also hopes to close the gap of achievement between students, which means improving schools that need help.He wants to pay teachers more and treat them like professionals,but in exchange he calls for higher responsibility.
Obama also has a plan to make college more affordable.He wants public colleges to be free for students who maintain a“B”average during high school.And he plans to give a $4,000 tax credit for college and university students who complete 100 hours of community service each year I believe these ideas to improve education are good enough and will help many students.
Therefore,there is no longer any doubt in my mind who will be receiving my vote:Barack Obama.

I had the privilege to visit the Bridge of Forgiveness in Palawan during the time when I was on the summer’s team.
After the long and exciting week,we had a chance to 21 the place where we were assigned(指定).We 22 the narrow hanging bridge made of two bamboos and a long rope which you can hold 23 for your life as you cross it. I was so afraid of 24 , especially here ,and I think most of us were not 25 to crossing so high a bridge 26 ,our team leader told us that we must cross this bridge in order to see the splendid falls that lie out on the other 27 .
“As you cross this bridge,think about 28 difficult,but it is possible”.
Many times in our lives we face 29 that we don’t expect---broken relationships,betrayal(背叛)of a friend, etc.,and all we can do is 30 . But I noticed that life must go on, and all the burdens must be 31 through forgiveness---forgiveness of yourself and others.
I didn’t understand my cousin 32 she told me I should 33 all those unfriendly guys with 34 . But as I grow older,I realize that lying in the past 35 and guilt will not serve me well.
Once I forgave serious 36 ,I noticed that I couldn’t forget them but every time I remembered them, I 37 . There aer no more pains brought just by the thought of them.
After all,life is good 38 all the hardships pains and difficulties,life teaches me to be 39 in facing and adversity(逆境)while at the same time it makes me 40 to those who suffer, If somebody does something terrible to me,I have to think back the bridge of forgiveness---difficult but possible.
