My Mount Rushmore Throughout history there are many faces that have shaped our country. Many not as big as others but some have shaped our country so much they had a mountain carved out with their face in it.

After listening to his music I started listening to more rap music, and more types of music period. Now I have a profound love for music, not just rap but all types of music ranching from classical to dubstep. Reading was never really a strong suit to me during my elementary years. As I went on
