Deadly America - 08/20/2001 5:24 AM
This has been an ongoing discussion within our school. America seems to be under a hard deadly rush this summer.
This summer has been much more hotter than those of the past. The north east reached what? 100 degrees?! Down here in Texas we are used to this. What is horrible is that around 5 people from Texas died over the summer heatwave. Many of them talented sport players, talented band students and athletes. It's sad that these things happen this way. I myself have felt the need to pass out sometimes and one student from my marching band did. Dehydration and other symptons have been the main cause of this too. At our band, in dallas texas, we get about 1 break every 30 minutes and our breaks are about 2 minutes. I know I am not a big fan of it, but I am forced to do it. We aren't allowed to sit down either, so if we pass out.. We pass out.
Another sad topic of discussion is shark attacks. Florida is under a huge attack of shark attacks. What is it now? 3-4 in the last month?! I know I am not going to be swimming on the beaches of Florida anytime soon.
I don't really know how to express myself in this topic as the way I am wanting to, but what do you all think of this?
