This week I read an article called Aurora Student Named Rhodes Scholar. This was about how Andrea a 23 year old senior at oklahoma university was names was on 32 phodes scholars of 2008. This was a very Interesting abput how she and her three siblings were homeschooled and she has originally dreamed about going to Oxford but that did not happen. Soon after she went to Oklahoma University as A second choice.What matters about this is that I know this family.I know that she had been trying hard to get into Oxford and so is her brother Mark. This really matters because she set her mind to something and even though it didn't come right away she waited and something else better came later.

This week I read an article called Majority of states teens text while driving.It said that 51% of teens admited to textin while they drove and 66% said they talked on the phone while driving. This is a major number because when are way above the national average of 46% for texting and 51% for talking. This matters because we all will be driving in the next few year and even thought I don't have texting many of my friends do and for some it could end with a bad crash or even death.

This week I read an article called man Falls from Federal boulevard Bridge.It is not known or who is it but a man who had second thoughts about jumping of the bridge lost his grip and fell on the back window of a passing car. There was a driver and three kids in the car but none of them were hurt.This matters because no matter how bad your life may seen the answer is not to try to kill yourself.In this guys situation he was backing out of it and accidentally almost ended up killing himself.This also matters is if you kill yourself maybe you are happy now but what about your friends and family they will have second thoughts about it.
