This a a book report on “The life of General Stonewall Jackson” by M.L. Williamson

The book started out in Jackson’s childhood at about the age of five, he then lived with various relatives till he was of age to join West Point Military Academy.

At the Academy he was always behind the most of the class because he would not move to the next lesson until he had mastered the previous one.

He graduated seventeenth in his class, at the age of twenty-two he was given the rank of second lieutenant of artillery in the U.S. Army.

He then fought in the Spanish-American war, and was promoted to the rank of Major

then the Civil War broke out and he was given command of a group of men later to be known as “the Stonewall Regiment”

Before the end of the war a Confederate patrol thinking that he and his staff were Federals, opened fire and fatally wounded him, a week or so later he died at the rank of Lieutenant-General.

This book walks you through General Jackson Life in an informative and sometimes humorous way, but describes well his life and his great deeds.

Whoa! what a week.

I did not realize till the end that we did 83.5 hours of Political Science and Campaigning.

During the week I knew we were doing a lot I just did not think we did THAT much.

On election night we watched TV (for the first time in a week) to see some results,
and it was kinda discouraging seeing all the Republicans losing and the Democrats winning.

But then we looked up the candidates who we were working for all week, it was nice to see that most of them were winning.

one of our candidates, in the preliminary results lost by four votes then a recount showed that he won by two votes.

At the end of the week our Program Director, Justin Horsman said to all of us “You basically saved the state of Maine” which sent chills up my spine.

To see how I, a Ninth Grade Homeschooler had changed the results of the election by doing something out of my comfort zone by knocking on countless doors and making hundreds of phone calls, it was a very humbling feeling.

In the end, out of the six candidates our group campaigned for, five of them won their races, and this was the very first Student Project here in Maine.

So I bet the Maine GOP will fund us again in the next election.
I definitely will be looking forward to this again in two years.

A week or so ago I installed Fireworks on to my/our computer just to play around with it and do some misc. stuff.

after a few hours of using it I loved it.

you are able to do so many things, here are some things I did using it

Hopefully I can be doing more advanced stuff in the future.

Primarily this blog will be to work on my English, Language Arts and spelling skills while posting my thoughts on local and world Events.

School will be starting sometime in the second week of September, so this blog will not get much use until then.
