 Cape High field and swimming decision It would be a good idea if Cape Henlopen High School to get a swimming pool and more playing field for many reasons. One reason is that more teams can play at the same time and other teams who won’t to play don’t have to wait to get in the field. A swimming pool can give people more time to exercise there arms there legs and it can be fun for people who just won’t to sit back and relax. Another reason that these things would be good for Cape is that people from the community can come and spend time with each other at the pools and they can watch games going on. This can get Cape more money from the games and they can have more games so it would be good for Cape because it would be bringing money. They can make tournaments and people would have to pay to enter and Cape can give a small amount of money for the winner of this tournaments. 

 Life of a Plant Doctor Have you ever heard of an African American that knew more about farming then anyone else? I heard of someone and his name is George Washington Carver. Carver knew more things about farming and making things with them then more then anyone else. He made more peanuts and sweet potatoes then anyone else ever did. It wasn’t heard for him to find a college but when they saw that he was black they turned him down. But later the same college wanted him, he went to college and later teaches there. He helps more people then he ever would have knew and that made him famous. There are many more things you should want to know about him so if you read on you can find out more about Carver.  You may not believe but George Washington Carver was born as a slave in July 12, 1864 Diamond Missouri. His slave master name was Mosses Carver. That where he had got his last name from. George Carver didn’t know his father but he did know his mom and also had a sister. When he was younger his mom and sister was kidnapped and he had never saw them again. Carver died in January 5, 1943 in Tuskegee, Alabama. He died because he fell down some stairs and had a bad hip. It was hard for him to move around so he had to be pit in a wheelchair so it would be easier. He was buried next to his friend Booker T. Washington at his college Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama. On Carver tome it had little words on it, but it had meant a lot about his life and sometimes little words can mean more than enough and on his tomb it said “he could had added fortune to fame, but care for neither, he found happiness and honor in being helpful to the world.” These may not make sense to you but in his life it had meant a lot for people who know him.  It wasn’t hard for Carver to go to school but he wonted to go. Carver had to move to Fort Scott, in the state of Kansas. The school he wonted to go to was called Minneapolis High so it was in Minneapolis, Kansas. He had got his high school diploma there and went of to go to college. There was many college that had wanted Carver but they had turned him down because of one reason that he was an African American. Some of the College that he did go to was the Simpson College and Iowa State Agriculture College he was the first black person there. At that school it was the first time the name George Washington Carver was ever used. Carver also had a school of his own. This school was a mobile and it was called the Tesup this was named after a financier that was from New York. That was what he had to face to go to school and what college he went to and what he had to do to go college. There a lot of things people didn’t know about him. Like who created the way they eat peanuts and who really found good ways for sweet potatoes? Carver found different things for these and more plants but he did the most with them. He made a lots a of things with these in fact he made the most. He made three-hundred different ways for peanuts and one-hundred and eighty eight with sweet potatoes, but some of it was dyed. He help people from every where how to make there plant better and how to make it grew better he meet a lot of famous people for doing that.  There were a lot of different things Carver did to make money. One was he had a mobile school another was that he had his own laundry business, and he was a teacher at college. The first to things Carver did he didn’t do it for a long time but the last thing that he did lasted for forty-seven years and that was teaching. George Washington Carver got the teaching job by Booker T. Washington. Washington made him a administer at the Agricultural Station at Tuskegee University found by Washington. Carver grew and sold things their and got a bigger salary then a normal when he work their. Without Washington Carver may not ever been famous. This is because Washington invited famous photographer which told them what he did, and how he grew the best and made the best things with them. Those are the ways George Washington Carver made his money though his life time.  Carver helps many people doing his time he was famous. He meets more famous people he would ever dream and they had all ask for his help. He had must been happy to first be slaves them meet a lot of famous people who all had ask for his help. The people that had asked for his help were Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, and the Prince of Sweden at that time. He also more people like Henry Ford. He help Henry Ford so much that he had a replica of his Slave Cabin and pit it at his museum in Dearborn, MI. he had also pit an elevator in his home for him. Carver also had a nether museum at the college that he had teach at. So that all the people that Carver meet in his life when he thought that he may not ever knew he was going to meet. Carver had had many rewards and joins a lot of groups all because he was good at what he did. The rewards he had got and the groups he had join he had from all across the world. He had the USDA Disease survey because he helps kids get better from what he had made with plants that he had grown. So he found cures for disease that kids and people had all across the world. In 1923 he got the Spin Medal from the NAACP also in 1923 he bestowed in Simpson College with an honorary doctorate and a book film. Carver did a lot in 1923 and still did more like made peanut oil massages to help parents to more to help out there sick kids. He also got the Roosevelt medal for Outstanding Contribution to Southern Agriculture. People talk about him a lot in newspaper like in the New York Times they had something that was called “Men Never Talk That Way.” He also had his own newspaper called “Professor Carver Life.” He also been in more things then them and got more rewards then that.  Some people may say that Carver told people what to do most of the time but people listen like farmers. He had change and helps farmers out most of the time, and told them if they change what they did and did what he said there would be better plants. They listen and some things he told farmer to do or change was there soil rotation. He manly told them to change this so they can save the nitrogen. He told farmer to change to cash crops instead of growing the same thing all the time like cotton. So he try to tell them to change to crops like sweet potatoes so that they could get more money of what they was growing, and he had showed them good ways to grow it because he knew all good to grow. He knew all the good ways because he founded an Industrial Laboratory at the college. That manly ever good thing Carver did to help people all over the place by doing what he do best farming and planting things.  Over the years Carver help a lot of people out doing what he live for and what he like to do. Doing this thing made him famous and help him meet new people that and they all wanted his help. He had show people that an African American can complete his dreams if he tries hard and wont to go to school. So he is a good example of a person who tried his hardest and it paid of with him doing more with plants then anyone else and finding the best way to grow them.                                  Work Cited  ”George Washington Carver.” Wikipedia. 16 Dec 2008.
