Change...I'd like mine back

I personally am not very pleased with the way that president Obama has been leading this country. The healthcare bill is a total fail. My father is a doctor, and I've been able to hear the opinion of an insider. Basically, if someone winds up in the emergency room and they don't have health insurance, then either the hospital ends up paying for it or those who have healthcare insurance do. Those who are well off and have worked hard to be where they are shouldn't have to pay for the poor who are just leeching off of them in this instance. The government takeover of healthcare, in my opinion, will never work. We have been worse off then we were when bush was the president. I think most of the criticism that he gets is usually undeserved. Some of the problems that obama faces are not his fault and just have to do with the time he took over. But I do believe that he has caused many problems. Change.....I'd like mine back.

Courage

Courage is doing something you are really afraid of doing. You do this thing that you are afraid of because you know that things will turn out for the best in the long run. It can be one of the hardest things in the world to master. I sometimes have to have courage before I swim really hard or new races in swimming. I get worried that I'll swim poorly and that really makes me scared before a race. But i just have to have courage and just pull through the race, knowing that i'll get better by doing it and that I'll be fine and that i won't mess up.

Leadership

Leadership is what makes any group strong. Without some solid leadership, your team or group will fall apart. We have a similar situation on the swim team. We need a captain, and Isaac Olson would be the perfect captain. He is oldest of the experienced swimmers and rightfully deserves the position. No 9th or 10th grader should ever be a captain. I'm really not enjoying swimming at all this year. I don't like the coaches and there is a lot of bull going down. I've been thinking about quitting and going to swim with the stingrays club up in faribault, where I actually enjoyed swimming. I don't know what to do at this point.
