Article 12

The Week
The South Deadly Weather

         These last few weeks has brought many devastating tornado's. North Carolina, Arkansas, Virginia, and recently Alabama to name a few. These tornadoes have gotten up to 210  mi and hr. winds wiping out miles and miles of homes the number of people killed and missing are still being counted. Living out in the country has made it become more real and made me more fearful because these past couple of weeks we have experienced a part of those storms. Now we are investing in a weather radio and going to prepare our storm cellar to be ready just in case.

The Week
Donald Trump: Is he really serious about running?

  Many consider this as a publicity stunt even though Trump insists he is serious. By this article the Republicans would have to overlook his three marriages, his dubious claims to religious faith, and pro-life and they would never let it get that far.Trump maybe the "Gospel of Success", but I agree "this is mot a reality show. This is our country."

The Week
Gulf oil spill : Lessons learned and ignored

     A year after one of the worlds biggest oil spills we are still wondering if this could happen again. Still a year passed and not a single law has been passed and not a single law has passed to make drilling safer. The world currently burns through 88.5 billion barrels of oil a day, and most is off shore and deep waters. I agree with Steve Levine in that instead of giving companies fines that they can afford we should make make them "company-ending" events. Becoming a new mother is making me become more aware and passionate about the environment and what i can do to help.

Article 9

Being Pregnant

       Over the past 7 months being pregnant has flown by and it has had its slow phases. School has helped pas the time, and after school i'll have a month and half till the big day. Being pregnant has deffinately made me more catious of what i eat, where i hang out, and the type of people i want my child to be surrounded by. Also me and my husband find ourselves discusssing on how were going to handle situations when and if they come about. We also hope and pray to set a good example for our child therefore making my husband and me take a look at our own lifes and make changes. We can't wait till he is here and were able to hold him and give him tons of love well we already love him.
