"Elizabeth Smart could testify before leaving for LDS mission" Elizabeth Smart makes an amazing come back!! She was kidnapped the summer before my 9th grade year of jr. high. I remember that the night that she was kidnapped was the night that I had finally moved from my room upstairs to the big room down stairs far away from my parents. That next morning when I had found out that she had been kidnapped I was freaked out and (will never admit this to my brother) could be down stairs unless my older brother was some were in the general visinity. I was very freaked out. Then the day they found her was incredible! I am not going to lie I still remember it vividly, I had just gotten home from San Diego the day before and was dreading having to go to school that day. We had an assembaly which I was very gratful for. That after noon as I was dropped off at my home by my carpool I turned on the tv and watched my favorite cartoon at the time, Arthur. Half way through the show I decided to change the channel, it wasnt normal for me to do that, I loved that show, but for some reason I just did it. I started to watch the news. (come on I was in 9th grade who watches the news) well all of a sudden there it was! ELIZABETH SMART WAS FOUND was the headline!! I could not believe my eyes!! Talk about a Miracle!! Which in this artical they talk about how much of a miracle it really was. I am just so happy that she is able to be free of that burden. I cant even imagine the pain that she went through in the article it talks about how in order for her to keep her sanity when Brian Mitchell made her keep a diary she would write in French at the bottom that she hated him and that she loved her parents. Talk about an awesome mission call to be called to the same country whose langauage helped her keep her sanity! I admire Smart in all that she had to endure and I want to be one of many to say good luck and may God be with you!

Cutting College Costs

In the Artical on ksl.com "Titled Cutting college costs: Part 1" it talks about ways making college more affordable. The dream scholarship would be a full ride, but not everyone can get a full ride scholarship to college. In this artical it talks about how we make college costs low enough that it is as good as getting a full ride. The secret is Multipule scholarships!! there the secret is out!!! now the trick is to actually find scholarships that you can get. College is expensive and it sucks having to pay for it, and the problem is is it keeps getting more and more unaffordable. Right now school is crucial for you to get a job, but it is also some of the most difficult time periods to actually pay for school. Another way to save money on tuition would be finacial aid. unfortunatly not everyone can qualify for it, but when you can get it i would assume it is awesome. unfortunatly i can not get it but oh well i guess i will just have to move on with my life and find another way to get my tuition payed.

Fake Kiddnapping

The article "'Kidnapping' revealed as hoax; charge dismissed" in the Deseret News is rather disturbing to me. Who in there right mind frames their fiance?? The article is about a man who was accused for kidnapping an 11 year old girl from a park. With further investigation the came to the realization that his fiance, along with other accomplices, had paid the young girl to lie and tell police that story. I think that that is sick and twisted!! Why would you ever do that to your fiance? Now the man has might be in trouble with immigrations. Was that her plan all a long?

In my mind people don't do things like that to their future husbands. She obviously is a little loony in the brain for her to think that she could lie to a cop and not get caught. Why as a little kid would you be OK with lying to the cop from money? I think that the little kid and his fiance should be punished. The little kid needs some sort of punishment, obviously she is a minor but still to be at that age and having already lied to a cop!! I mean come on!! its one thing to lie to a cop about a speeding ticket a complete other thing to lie to a cop about being kidnapped!!
