One Family Moves In, Another Forced Out

This article on the New Haven Independent website took place of course in New Haven. On October 18th Yale architect students inaugurated a house that they had competed to design. The address was 456 Orchard Street, next door, 452 was sprayed with bullets just the night before. Mayor DeStephano said he would look into the possible housing code violations. In the end, the landlord of 452 Orchard Street was not reaching her responsibilities as a section 8 house owner and all who were living on her property were giving 60 days to find a new home. She stopped receiving section 8's money and now will have to reapply to home section 8 participants.

My most recent article was about Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I chose to write on this topic because it is supported by a sport I play. The National Football League's owners and participants all wear pink for the entire month of October, they wear pink cleats, pink gloves, pink towels, pink jersey labels and many other accessories on their uniforms. Breast Cancer has changed the lives of many and effected the way some of the players familys.All apparel worn at games by players and coaches, along with special game balls and pink coins will be auctioned off at NFL Auction.The NFL is determined to be a big part of the help to find the cure to breast cancer.

So my first post didn't show up. So this will be my first actual public one. This blog is decicated to my journalism class but I feel like I wont always be writing in it just for the class. I've been in school for about a month now and it all seems so simple now. Wake up, come to school, learn, laugh, bus home, football practice. It's a daily routine that doesn't seem to change reguardless of how the day begins. I've been able to pay much more attention in class and produce good work. I have less friends than last year, but I made it like this for myself this year. The less friends the less distractions; which equals better grades.
