Today I read an article called State Hits top 10 For Nonsmokers. This is about how when the state raised the tax of cigarettes the almost a dollar smoking dropped from 22% down to 18%. This is a huge drop and smoking of teenagers has dopped from 18% down to 15%. In this colorado dropped from 14th in the nation to 9th. It is said that smoking cost colorado 1.3billion dollars a year and kills 16000 people in just colorado. This matters because and a teen pure pressure will test me and I will havt to overcome it. This relates to the world because many people in the Us smoke and it is killing many people each year. This is why this article matters.

This week I read an article called "Bailey Shooting Victim honored with monument" about the shooting that happened last september 27th in bailey last year. Last year Duane Morrison took Emily keyes and 6 other victims into a room in the school. He let some of them go but as timed passed only emilyand him remained. He then shot emily and then himself.In the last week a memorial has been constructed in honor of emilly and to help her families grief. This relates to me because it can happen and has happened at hundreds of schools. This relates to the worls because after 1 shooting a copy cat effect happened and 5 more shooting happened in one week. This is a very bad thing tat happens every year.

This time I read an article called Dad heard car crash about 2 17 year old girls that died saturday morning. It was about 4 people that were in a car when they ran a stop sign and got hit by a 40 foot delivery truck. This article relates to me because I will be driving soon and I will have to be carefull and will make sure my friends are too. What matters is just like that all those people lost 2 really great friends and I know that I could lost anyone at anytime like my friends or my family. This is a very sad story and it happens all the time so we need to stop it and make teen drivers safer. This is how this article relates to me and what matters.

I read the article us marks 6th 9/11 anniversary. I thought this was a good article to read because today is the 6th anniversary of 9/11. I talk about all the people that died because of the 19 plane hijackers that joined to terroize america. On this day 2973 people were killed because or the 4 planes. It said that thousands of people gather in rememberance today in the 4 locations that the planes crashed. When the first plane crashes into the north tower at 8:46 it was only 17 minutes untill the second plane crashed into the south tower. At 9:56 about an hour later the south tower colasped. It only took the 120 story building 10 seconds to colapse. Only 30 after that the north tower colapsed killing the 1462 people inside it. This is the one day of the year that should be remember forever. It was a day of tragedy and when nearly 3000 people were killed. As the United states remember this day it should also be known of all the rescuers and everyone else that helped that day.
