PLN15-- Late start days

In the article Friday is first late-start day for DPS By The Denver Post explains what happens on days that Denver public schools have late start days and if they serve breakfast or not. Also when the busses would come. It relates to everyone because I don’t think someone would want to be outside waiting for the bus in freezing cold weather when it actually is coming later. Or if you don’t eat breakfast and expect the school to provide it. It is just informing you what happens on late start days.

PLN--14 killing dog with arrows

In the article Arvada man accused of killing dog with arrows By Howard Pankratz from The Denver Post can relate to everyone.
The article explains how a girl’s boyfriend shot her little terrier with two or three arrows. They found the dog dead in the garage with blood everywhere. And inside the house was ransacked. 20-year-old Zackary Scott Ruszka is being charged for cruelty and is in the Jefferson county jail, and his next court appearance hasn’t been scheduled yet.I think that this article relates to everyone. It is wrong to kill anything, in my opinion. It is never acceptable. He most likely got to the dog through a house code that he knew. Everyone should be careful on who they give their house code to. Even friends you think you can trust. You never know when someone is going to go crazy and do something. House codes should be for just the person who owns and lives in the house.

PLN12--car crash of 16-year-old

In the article Three sisters in Loveland crash identified from The Denver Post relates to myself. It talked about how a 16-year-old girl crashed into another car with her 10 and 11 year old sisters with her. The 16-year-old suffered with major head trauma and serious concussions. Both her sisters were injured too, but their conditions are unavailable. The man she crashed into was not hurt.
This article relates to myself in the way that you always need to be careful when you are driving with other people in the car whether your with your family or friends. A lot of people think that the crashes of young teens are caused from friends being in the car, but it could be family members too. You always need to be cautious and careful.
That’s how the article relates to myself.

PLN11-- change

For my eleventh PLN I’m just going to talk about the word “change”. Both of our past running candidates talked about change in their speeches. Obama did win in the long run and he seemed to be bigger on the whole “change” idea. You can find this basically anywhere on the web. The things both candidates talked about were big goals they wanted to change. What they both said relates to everybody, it will change American lifestyle and also our relationship with other countries. For me though, I thought both of them skipped a step and moved on to bigger things but forgot the foundation to them. I think that as a leader you need to be a good role model. Both candidates were digging up dirt on each other, and spilling it to the press. To me, that’s not what a leader should do. We, the people of America, look up to them, what if we started digging dirt up on each other? What kind of nation would that make us? Also before big things are changed we need to pull together as a nation. We are so broken and messed up that we need to look at the little things that could make us stronger in the end, and then look at the bigger things. Some things that I think need to be changed are the veterans living on the street, the hungry, and the people who are struggling to make it somewhere in life. How can we live in the richest country in the world but many people can’t afford to feed their families, and many people are sleeping in boxes? How come we send our brothers and sisters away to war, and they come home with a pat on the back then are left and forgotten? These are the things that matter the most to me that I think need to be changed. If this ever does happen I think it will make the world a better place. Other nations look up to our government; if we can set a good example like that they will follow. This is what change means to me; and how it could affect the world.

PLN10-- boys slits girl's throat

In the article Boy slits girl's throat in Montrose High lobby by Kirk Mitchell, from The Denver Post relates to both the world and myself.
The article was about a 14-year-old juvenile boy that walked into Montrose High School and walked up behind a girl and grabbed her and slit her throat. Then he calmly walked out of the building. Sophomore Mallory Haulman was rushed to the hospital and underwent several surgeries and is now recovering. There were many people that saw the scene happen, including her sister.
This article reminds me of how I should never take my life, or anyone’s life for advantage. We only have one and need to take care of others and ourselves around it. You never know when a sibling, or friend could die. Also it could happen in an instant, so cherish every moment you have with the people you love.
It relates to the world in the way that we need to be prepared for the good and the bad. The teachers were ready and took fast action when Mallory was attacked. It happened fast with no warning but they were prepared to take control in the circumstance.That’s how the article relates to the world and myself.
