Today I joined the SIDS run with all
of the Extension students. Before I decided to join this event I did not know about
SIDS. I really like to run and I could not join BLOOMS DAY in last semester so
I decided to run. This is not just fun so I must think about people who lost a
child. I have never experienced such a sad accident so I cannot understand how sad
they are. I think all of the people who joined think about this event very
seriously because when I arrived at the park everyone was quiet except some children.
While I was running I saw some people put pins their T-shirts. I was curious
about what it was so I asked Jill later. She told me that pin is the symbol of
people who lost a child. When I heard that I felt painful. To be honest, this
morning I did not want to join this event because I wanted to take a rest and I
wanted to finish all of my homework so I regretted applying for this event.
However I do not regret joining this event now. Today, I learned about SIDS and
how serious this event is. It was a very good opportunity to think about life.
I went on a totally amazing Southwest trip with my classmates. The trip was my first time to go to the Southwest so everything was new to me. Sarah, Anikke and Bethany came with us. They made our trip more exciting. I’m happy I could go on this trip with them and I had a lot of great experiences. First, I really enjoyed New Mexico. It was chilly but not too cold. I went to the Old Town in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I liked the Old Town because there are many cute things and good restaurants in there. For example, I found a gate that was decorated with a lot of red chili peppers. I had never seen anything like that before so I was very surprised and it looked like a lot of flowers from a distance. The red chili peppers were absolutely gorgeous. Not only that, I found a great restaurant. I forgot the name of the restaurant but they have really delicious Mexican food. They gave me some Mexican chips for free and recommended that I eat the chips with honey. I really like Mexican chip
