Indria Gandhi
By:Jaimeh
Indria Gandhi was born in 1917 and was the only chiled of Kamla and Jawaharlal Nehru.Indria spent part of her life in Allahabad and part in Switzerland. She got her college education at Somoverville College Oxford. Indria had got the offcial residence or place of her father and was with him on many foreign trips. In 1942 Indria Gandhi got married to Feroze Gandhi.He was disliked by his much more famous father in law, but he died in 1960. Indria’s father died in 1964. She had lots of skills and held the place of prime minister from 1966-1977. She ad led India into war with Pakistan in 1971. They found that in June of 1975, the high court of Allahabad found Indria Guilty of using illegal practies during the last election campaign. June 26,1975 she declared a state emergency which had limited freedom of Indians. In 1977 sh allowed free elections. She regained prime minister in 1980 and on October 31,1984 her bodyguards assassinated her. Indria had once saidEven if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood… will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.”and she allso once said“If I die a violent death, as some fear and a few are plotting, I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins, not in my dying.”
What I learned from writing this paper was that Indria Gandhi was the only child of Kamla and jawahrlal. Also I learned alot about the Indian culture. It was fun to explore new things or rather learn new things about Indria and India.I hope you liked my paper!!!!**

Mr.Hetherington Rocks!!

Filed under: Social Studies, JaimeH, 6L —— jaimeh @ 7:00 pm

I think that Mr.Hetherington rocks because he always teaches somthing new,and not the same thing over and over again. He is a very friendly teacher who loves to teach Socal studies,well most of the time. Every time we have a test he lets us kids play Jeopardy the day before the test. When we learned about religions in Mr. Hetherington’s class he got me interested in my family’s religion alot more than I already was. We see movies on what we’re learning about most of the time. Mr.Hetherington taught me a new way to study which was by making mind maps, which is alot like two column notes. One of the really nice things he does is give all the kids a Friday treat unless he out of them. When Mr.Hetherington teaches class he doesn’t make it so long and boring, but he tries to get us kids interested in History and everything else.

A place in the world

Filed under: JaimeH, 6L —— jaimeh @ 2:46 am

The one place in the world I would go is Ohio. The reason why I chose Ohio is because my brother from my dads first marriage before he met my mom lives some where in Ohio. The last time my brother came to see me was when I was 7 years old.
