Dr. Matthew Primous is the Youngest Congressional Appointee in history
A Political Speech by Dr. Matthew Primous
"Even after decades after his death, Dr. King influenced me. His courage, his character, his strength, his resilience. He was a man of statue, a man of character, a man of honor. And at age 10 I knew he was the right hero. I knew he was the right leader to look up to. So I study him as Dad said "Study the great and you will become great." Dad knew I loved Dr. King and his work. I would even practice nonviolence personally. I would use my words and talk tough. I would refuse to acknowledge and talk to those who did not have an open mind. I would fight for my education. I would fight against racism even at a young age. I would simply show how smart I was. I would show the teacher how intelligent my brain. I would even be friends with those who were rejected as well as those who wanted to learned. I have friends of multiple backgrounds that I would learn and study with even up to college.I learned how to be the teacher too. I learned how to be better by practice. It is true practice makes perfect. It is true studying increases brain power. It is true test and error leads to perfection. It is true tests only make you stronger by showing your weaknesses and your strengths. And I did excel with making straight A's in elementary, again in middle school, again in high school, again in college and being on high honor roll for six years straight years till graduation. And starting elementary early, high school early and college early. Then in given the chance to teach, teaching in middle school at age 11 and being a Scholastic Artist at age 12 competing with college students. Then tutoring in Chemistry and Math in high school being prepared to graduated at age 13 and graduating at age 15 a year earlier as a Urban League Black Scholar. And before graduating accepted into college and taking college classes scoring 104 in my first college class and learning ambassadorship with their model UN club. And being the Top 10 percent in the whole county for Chemistry excelling all honor students. Then inventing a new computer in high school making me a Google Scholar and building a business with the background of excelling at Economics scored 103 on the hardest test and scoring perfect in Mass Media even in Shakespeare which saved my grade many times. Then working for the President offering my service to the leader of the nation. It was my honor and my privilege and appointed in 2004 by Congress and brainstorm ideas for the President then appointed again Presidential Partner after attending college becoming an International Scholar chosen by the International Leadership Honor Society and National Leader chosen by the National Leadership Honor Society winning 21 Collegiate Academic Medals and testified to Congress on economics and healthcare. All of this inspired by the greatness of others, standing on their shoulders and resting on their achievements and hoping to be something. Not better, not greater, not equal just meet the standard and run the race set before me and to honor those who helped me and stood by me. It is true and I can say it with clarity "Out of one Many" for out of one hero came many and so fore "Out of Many" came one-Dr. Matthew Primous awarded 21 medals including 7 NYS Regional International Honor Society's Medallions, the International Honor Society's Alumni Officer Medallion, Phi Theta Kappa Honor Societies' Foundation Lapen Pin, and Omicron Delta Kappa Honor Societies' Foundation Lapen Pin and given unanimously the Phi Theta Kappa Intellectual Honor Cord, Omicron Delta Kappa Superior Exemplary Honor Tri-Cords, Delta Epsilon Iota Strong Leadership Qualities Cord, MCC Distinguished Graduate Certificate, the National Social Work Honor Society's Cum Laude Honor Tassel, ODK Honorary Stole, and PTK Honorary Stole.

The End of Benedict Arnold
It was well passed the Revolutionary War and well passed the establishment of the United States of America. And well passed the victories and overcoming defeats. That the Colonists' nation was established. With the important help of France, who intimidated England. And the nation that was newly formed begin to come about with its reputation. And much progress has taken place and many reforms in favor of the people. And the nation prospered and begin to form new alliances. And established order and expand governance. And all was well and meaningful. The nation was no longer at war no longer distraught and no longer displaced by the war. They welcomed President Washington and his cabinet and the new wave of liberties. And they made much progressive steps toward justice. Though there were still some divisions. The nation was coming together and forming bonds and unions like never before. And Washington was setting precedents along with Jefferson, Hamilton, and Adams who served in his cabinet. And politics begin to form and take place. And diplomacy begin to be the new battlefield. And keeping the peace and easing resistance. Even Washington was receiving heat for some of his policies. But he kept the grace and class that Congress knew he had. And sometimes he was distraught with the system just a little bit but he did not questioned whether democracy was good. Washington knew that democracy was right and though not perfect it was the right union of people and government. Washington established public education so citizens could learn the laws and history of their nation in order to advance its future. And he had a few scandals as there were infighting within his cabinet among Jefferson and Hamilton. Hamilton promoted economic prowess over alliances. And Jefferson promoted alliances over economic prowess. And their dispute sharply divided the cabinet. And their fight was unresolved in the Washington cabinet. So Jefferson abruptly resigned which gave heat to the Washington's cabinet and the American Democracy. Then Washington re-election against his Vice President Adams who ran against him for the second time. And Washington winning twice in a row, then Hamilton resigned over a scandal in the treasury. And Washington no longer had any disputes but many wanted him to continue serving and Washington was well-passed interest in the office. Washington decided fervently and earnestly that a new leader should lead the nation. And he warned the nation of being divisive and dividing in his farewell speech however he desired for a brotherhood and unity and for the best candidate to win. And his farewell was written by many who were close to him such as Madison. And Washington threw his support behind Adams who won handedly. And Washington finally spent his time with his family with his wife Martha Washington and friends like John Adams. And as a courtesy Washington built the White House for Adams and future presidents in the Capitol that he discovered and orchestrated to strategically unite the nation eternally. Then during President Adams' presidency, Washington tragically died. The nation was in mourning and the country's future in turmoil but President Adams gathered together the leaders his friends and the country. And they mourned for President Washington and many leaders were at his funeral and his children were there. President Adams and the country was so moved by Washington that he built a monument to honor President Washington called the Washington Monument. And the politics of the nation was tested. Many disruptions and many political debates heated in Congress now that Washington was gone. And the world knew that Washington passed and that America was uncertain. And the King of England was waiting for the right opportunity. Benedict Arnold was an advisor to the King. And escaped to England where he told everything he knew about the colonists which was so many years ago. And the King planned many attacks and he was looking for the opportunity. However Benedict Arnold who was a heroic general of the Colonists that defected to The British Army. He did some thinking. And he did some questioning. And his family went through hard times and struggled with their reputation. The King who was once popular was mad with revenge for losing America. And Benedict Arnold stressed over family and finances and popularity concerned over his past actions and dying reputation. He finally informed the King that he could no longer be of service and that his plans are no longer valid because they were based on knowledge about the colonists that were decades old. And so the King dismissed Benedict Arnold and awarded him for his knowledge and heroism. Benedict Arnold left with little and in seclusion eventually not too long after Washington, he passed away. And his last words regretting his dishonor from the war, regretting his betrayal, and regretting working with the King. The King who now was considered somewhat weak and unpopular but feared because he reigned sternly and divisively. So Benedict Arnold was buried in disgrace and died unheroic and as the years passed. The King watched and waited for his chance to invade America. And he waited till everyone he knew were closed to Washington be removed from power. And as a new leader, President Madison who won in a closely tighten race, the king saw his opportunity. And so from Canada, the King ordered his troops to invade the White House and burned it down. And America was unaware of the plans because they were trying to unite and unified and build up their diplomacy and alliances internationally. To show the world that their nation is not hostile and violent but peaceful and a land of liberties. Just in the middle of his term, President Madison was warned about the British invasion, and he had to leave quickly. And he quickly gathered his family and things to leave the White House. And his wife Dolly Madison gathered up items from the White House to return and restore the American Trust. Dolly Madison was a smart woman and very popular. Her intuitive led her on many things and she was one of the most beautiful women at the time. And her husband hurried her and she quickly grab Washington's portrait after staring at it and in awe crying for the country and remorsing his death. The King was desperate to win as he was told that most of the White House was empty, and that British Troops could barely burn it down due to little time that they had because the American military was regrouping and plotting to pose a major invasive invasion to retaliate. The British Soldiers had to move quickly and could not wait for the White House to burn which the White House was only partially burned. President Jefferson and President Adams along with other presidents gathered Congress and leaders together to think what Washington would do. The British Army threaten to fight all fronts. So President Madison and President Monroe demanded that they retaliate with the British Troops and get them back and then force them into retreat. The King fearing another major defeat pulled a desperate plot by giving the slaves freedom. This was only to weaken the citizens and cause massive uprisings. Eventually the plot and war ended. And England and America came to a truce, they agreed nobody won and that they will respect each other rights. And they forged an alliance and America gained expanded territories from that War of 1812

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.
