Floods kill 130, drive thousands from homes in Southeast Asia

This article talks about how so many people died from the flood in Asia. People are still missing from this huge flood. Most of them lost their homes which leads to loosing their lives. They lost everything including family members. Reading this article scared me because it was sad to hear that most of them do not have any homes anymore. No place to sleep, eat, change, go to the bathroom, or even a place to be warm or cool from the heat or the cold. The nice thing i read in this article was that people from other places are trying their best to help them get a home and get them the things that they need in order to survive in life. I hope as the days go on, they will eventually find the missing people to get their families back rather than their home. Family always come first.


World's tallest woman remembered

I could not believe reading the newspaper hearing that there is woman out in this world that is seven feet seven inches! Reading that totally opened up my eyes! I was telling myself that she would be the world's best basketball player. Reading the newspaper always has it's pros and cons. Nothing is ever perfect. There will always be problems all over the world no matter what and that is okay because it is normal. It could always be worse. I was a lot more interesting in this article than the flood one because I have heard about flood problems before. Everyday I always learn something new.
