My Hero

My hero has to be my grandpa. He passed away due to cancer several years ago but he fought in the second World War to protect our country. He was in the 601st Tank Destroyer Battalion and operated armored vehicles. On June 6, 1944 he stormed the beach at Normandy on a mission to liberate Paris and it was a success. He also fought in all three campaigns against Nazi Germany. One in Italy, one in Northern Africa, and obviously the one in Europe. He risked his life for our country and I can never thank him for that. Without him and his comrades, the majority of the world could be under Nazi control to this day.

Hello

Hello, my name is Cody Jones. My hobbies include playing and watching sports like football, basketball, and soccer. I also like to play video games on my Xbox 360. My favorite vacation was fairly recently during the summer after freshman year. My family went to Destin, Florida and it was one of the coolest places I have ever been. The ocean there was very blue and warm, it was like swimming in a pool. For the most part, my favorite type of literature is science fiction, my favorite books are the Eragon series. I have heard about the books we read during this course and for the most part I am looking forward to reading them, and looking forward to the class.
