I want to first wish every one a belated Merry Christmas and a very happy new year! I hope this coming year will be a great one; there are lots of things to look forward too!
2011 has been one of the best years so far, so many great things happened to me and I am extremely thankful. There were set backs too, especially with my academy applications, but obstacles were made to be overcome. And I will overcome.
New years resolution: this WILL be the year I'm accepted >:D
On to the horrible news. Talk about an awful way to start a new year. On new years night, about 11:00 pm I herd news of a homicide in Tucson. This is horrible and my whole family felt bad, the boy was only 17 and his parents were out of town so that makes it really hard on them too, we said a prayer for the family and just went home. Then this morning when I watched the news report about it I found out the boy went to my school for one year (he was a freshmen when I was a sophomore) before he switched to a catholic school. That’s when I found out the boys name, Carlos Sandoval, and I realized, that’s my Neighbor. His family along with two other brothers lives two houses down from mine. I couldn’t believe it. I still can’t believe it. I don’t want to believe it. In my own neighborhood just two houses down a family lost their son to a homicide. I feel awful for the family and I'm thinking of delivering flowers or something. I feel like I have to do something for the family, it must be so hard. I cant even imagine.
Just in case you are interested you can read the news article and watch the video report here:
