2012 in review

1. What was the best song of 2012?
For me the best song of 2012 was "The Vent" by Kirko Bangz because it shows you that we all have problems and that you will be able to get through it. It might be hard at first but you can always get through it no matter what.

2. What was the best movie of 2012?
To me the best movie of 2012 was then new batman movie. it was one of the best movies for me because it shows that even though we over come things there are sometime time when we fall and he have to work hard to get back to what we had and do better for our selfs and others.

3. What was the most important news story of the year?
I think one of the most important news stores of the year was the rise gas prizes. i think it was one of the most important because we rely on gas so much to warm our house and power our cars, and the gas prizes going up won't be so good for us cause it is running out and soon we won't be able to rely on that anymore.

4. Who was the most important person of 2012?
I think the most important person in 2012 was Jeremy Lin. he was one of the most important people because he beat a whole bunch of stereo types for being and asian-american. and it influenced a lot of kids that they can do what ever you can put your mind to, and not to let people push you down. 


5. What was the biggest sports OR entertainment story OR sports/entertainment person of 2012 (you should google what is appropriate for your choice)
