THIS IS ME

MY NAME IS WILLHEMENIA REY FRENCH, BUT I HATE IT PREFERRING INSTEAD B ILLIE, NOW

MANY THINK I AM A GUY BECAUSE MY NAME IS BILLIE, HOWEVER, WERE I A GUY, I WOULD SPELL IT BILLY THAT IS MASCULINE, I SPELL IT BILLIE WHICH IS FEMININE, AS YOU CAN SEE, HOPEFULLY BY THE ENCLOSED PIC, I AM A GIRL. I AM 19. I LIVE ON THE FAMILY FARM MY MOTHER LEFT ME WHEN SHE PASSED,I WAS 12 AND INHERITED A 309 ACRE FARM. NOW I MILK 135 COWS TWICE A DAY. I Bale HAY, MUCK OUT THE BARN AND REPAIR THE MILKING MACHINE AND AUTO FEEDER WHEN THEY FAIL. FARMING IS HARD WORK WITH LOW PAY, BUT IOWA IS THE BREADBASKET OF THE WORLD, NEARLYl EVERY COUNTRY AND EACH STATE DEPENDS ON IOWA AND HER FARMERS FOR FOOD. IOWA IS THE 6 th largest beef producing state in USA and first in the nation in production of hogs. Our soybeans are exported to China,Japan and the rest of the world. I LIKE FARMING, AND I'M PROUD TO OWN ONE OF THE FEW FAMILY FARMS REMAINING.

I HAVE ONE BROTHER,FRANK, HE IS 23 AND SERVES PROUDLY AS AN ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN FIRST CLASS ABOARD THE UISS TENNESSEE. IT IS AN SSBN NUCLEAR MISSILE SUBMARINE. I AM VERY PROUD OF MY BROTHER ALSO.

MY FATHER ,HENRY (HANK) IS IN PRISON SERVING 40 YEARS FOR TRYING TO KILL ME IN THE SPRING OF 2000. I AM NOT VERY PROUD OF MY FATHER.

FURTHER, MY FATHER IS FULL SIOUX. i AM HALF NATIVE AMERICAN, MY Great GRANDFATHER SEVEN TIMES IS CRAZY HORSE. I HOPE YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH CRAZY HORSE. MANY BELIEVE HE WAS A SAVAGE, BUT HIS MAIN CONCERN WAS TO BETTER THE LIFE FOR HIS PEOPLE.

THE LAKOTA SIOUX, OF WHICH CRAZY HORSE WAS A SUPREME CHIEF, ARE THE SHAMAN AND MEDICINE MAKERS FOR THE SIOUX NATION. CRAZY HORSE AND "PRESIDENT U. S. GRANT NEGOTIATED THE BEST TREATY OF ANY TIME IN HISTORY. THE U S GOVERNMENT GAVE THE LAKOTA SIOUX, THE BLACK HILLS AS THEIR RESERVATION. THEY LIVE IN THE BLACK HILLS TODAY.
