Hey Carly,
ReplyDeleteYour first few articles definitely show that there is crime in Gainesville and it takes a lot of effort to find and charge whoever is guilty. I love that people are trying to help with Hurricane Dorian victims, I'm from Panama City which was hit by Hurricane Michael last year, so I empathize with the situation. I like the concept of a temporary campus for a school being constructed. I spent my freshman year of high school on a temporary campus and it worked well, so I hope they can figure something out.
Carly,
ReplyDeleteThe 5th article you posted outlines the importance of helping others after tragedy. The Bahamas got hit very hard by Hurricane Dorian and I think Charlene is standing for a great cause. More Americans need to step up and help out those that lost their homes and lives in the Bahamas. If Florida had gotten destroyed we would help from others.
