Today is my day to make a report on current events. Do you have current events? It鈥檚 part of my social studies class and involves the news of the day, and what the newspapers say. I鈥檇 like to start my paragraph by stating that the headlines have hurt my feelings and that today is an especially discouraging summary of facts. [... 鈥� 鈥 End: And a crazy guy in Detroit is shooting kids in the face, and more family murders have taken place in the last year than in all of Northern Ireland and I don鈥檛 want my family to die. And that鈥檚 today鈥檚 especially discouraging summary of facts, and I feel like crying. But please don鈥檛 flunk me. Please don鈥檛 flunk me.
