You probably already heard about the wildfire in Southern California. I wasn't anywhere near there, but my family was. I was in Irvine for Junior State of America and I saw the smoke. I found out about it from Linda, who was texting Leanne, who was evacuating her house at the time. I couldn't really enjoy my time there since I kept worrying about all my friends and my family who are in grave danger. Many of my classmates already got their house burned down in the hills.When I heard that Esperanza High got closed for being the evacuation center, I freaked because I live near there. So, I called my dad as much as I can to see how they were doing. I also called all of my friends to see if they were okay.
My family and I pray that everything will get better for those who are suffering.
During the convention, Tori, one of the debaters from Servite, started a prayer up on the podium. That was really nice.

play, and listen as you read
Fire Fighters have been working frantically the past few days to put out the various fires across southern california
even knowing every next breathe could poison them, and even knowing every next step could kill them, they keep going.
It's ironic how we complain about helping our brothers and sisters, and these people risk there lives for complete strangers.
they face things bigger than things some of us will never have to face
they put every ounce of energy into there work, even 5 minutes of a break seems like the world to them, and we complain we're not getting enough sleep.
Today, you might've gone to church with your family or stuck around and chilled at home, while he risked his life so you could be safe.
even when it's so easy to quit, they keep going.
we complain when its hot, he goes through scorching temperatures in a think heavy jumpsuit and pounds of equipment.
