My+Letter+To+Obama--MEL08

Dear President Obama, My name is Marissa %@$&$!. I am an 8th grade student at #@^&$ Middle School, graduating class of 2009 in #G^%^J$@, CT. I was very happy to learn that you had won the Presidential Election. As a young adult soon to enter high school, college, and the working world, I am concerned about my future. With the poor economy, the high unemployment rate, and thousands of hard working people losing their homes every day, what will this country be like four years from today? As President of the United States of America, what are your plans to get our country back on the right track? How will you improve the economy, help people to keep their jobs, and their homes? As a student getting ready to enter high school, the economy is a big concern. My dream is to attend a prep school next fall. I am an avid hockey player, and I would love to continue my ice hockey career at the prep school level. With the situation that our country is in, and my dad unsure about his job security, this dream will be a huge financial challenge for my family. My older brother will be entering college in 2010. I am worried how the economy will affect my family and our Everyone needs the proper education to succeed in life. Everyday, we hear on the news, and read in the newspaper, about people losing their jobs, and companies closing their doors. This affects tens of thousands of people each and every day. My family is one of those who are affected. Each day, my dad goes to work wondering if he will still have a job when he gets there. With companies sending their work around the world, it is taking away from the number of U.S. jobs. What are your plans to make sure that each and every American will be able to hold a job to support their family? With the housing market in turmoil, and hard working people losing their homes, this just goes to show that our country is in desperate need of change. The American dream of having a family, and owning your own home, seems so unreachable today. How will your administration handle this issue? What changes can we look forward to as you work to rebuild the housing market in America? Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read my letter. I look forward to you begining your term in Office, and the changes you will bring to America, that we so desperately need. Along with millions of people, I am glad to have a change in office. Sincerely, Marissa !$@%&^*
