A real estate investor, a small business owner, and a board member running for reelection filed for seats on the Austin school board on Monday, the first day of filing for the May 4 election. Manuel Zuniga, who has pledged $300,000 to the low-performing Blackshear Elementary School, will face Patricia Whiteside, who is running for reelection. Zuniga said he would focus on making teacher salaries competitive, saving money to be shared with poor districts in Texas under the school finance law, and implementing cost-cutting measures recommended by state Comptroller Carole Keeton Rylander. Ave Wahrmund, who owns a semiconductor equipment company, is seeking a second term in the District 4 seat. She said she would focus on closing the achievement gap between minority and white students, keeping quality teachers, and involving the community in decision making. Donald Abrams, who owns a medical consulting business, filed for the District 7 seat, which Olga Garza will leave in May.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

a rough draft essay is the final form of an essay after it has been edited and polished.

should you be the one doing this journal entry? it says "your special talent or skill". are you gonna lie 'bout your talent and make us fake a talent for you?

also this is a really easy journal entry, you can just think of a skill your good at and write did you work hard to become good at this skill (ex: drawing, writing, math, playing music, etc.) or does it come naturally (like a cool trick that you can do with your body). you can do all of that in 150 words. just try and think of a talent and even if your bad at this talent just say your working hard to become good at it.
