Support Japan

Today, I walked into my first hour class to see the live news being projected onto the screen. Mr.G never does that, so obviously I wondered what was going on. Finally, I turned my attention to the screen; 8.9M EARTHQUAKE HITS JAPAN! I was utterly shocked at this. After a few minutes, Mr.G turned off the projector and informed those of us who didn't know (including me) what was going on. During the middle of the night, Honshu, Japan had been hit by the largest tsunami/earthquake of his lifetime. It was expected to hit Hawaii in a matter of minutes, and destroy the West Coast in a matter of hours. How could this happen? I thought. We would continue the day as usual, while people not even a day away would be in complete chaos, some even dead. This morning, the death toll in Japan was 96. I couldn't bear to check what it was afterwards. What were your reactions? You can donate through UNICEF to help the afflicted areas. My heart goes out to those of you with family or friends living in the afflicted areas.
