Top News Story

The top news story I chose was one that was about a missionary who was held in N.Korea came to the United States. The Missionary was detained for 43 days. Another important thing in this story to note is that he was Korean-American and he was carrying letters to Kim Jong II to shut down his camps. I found the story as a whole was important because of all the turmoil N.Korea is facing currently, and it shows how anybody can make an effort to make a difference. This young man was willing to risk his life for something he believed in.

About Alyx

So here is a quick little about me: I'm a freshman at SJSU. Just kidding, there's more than that. I do live on campus in San Jose but I'm from Southern California, so I'm getting the whole college experience. I like to have fun but I also know when "play time" is over and I think that's a good quality to have. I am learning everyday and I recognize that, I am also a very curious person. That may have something to do with me taking this class. I am really excited and happy I have the opportunity to take this class because I am not sure what I want to do in life and hopefully this will help lead me in the right direction. I am easy to get along with and I almost always have a smile on! I think that's me in a nutshell.
