A lot has happened in these last three days. I have been getting ready for the upcoming college fair that will take place this Thursday. College fair is really important for me because I'm a sophomore, and I will have to decide which colleges to go when I'm a junior, so that I can apply them right away when I'm a senior. I have taken a look at the college list before, but a couple of days ago, I have seen it again, and I've realized that one of my favorite colleges is coming to the fair, UCLA (University Of California Los Angeles). I have always wanted to visit that college for a couple of reasons including its location, and its programs. Location is really important while choosing a college, so since it was in California, I made a little research about that state, and I have found some sad news about that place. I found a news that was saying that California Delta was missing water, so drought had become an important issue. I didn't realize that California was in danger even though I've been there before. When I decided to read the rest of the news, I saw that this issue wasn't because of the nature, but people. Unnecessary usage of water was the main reason for the drought. In the news I even read that The State of California can even limit the amount of water that a household can use per day. It was really sad to hear that. While I was reading this news I haven't realized that I had ended third day of my 30 Day Challenge.
The next day I had already planned what kind of news to read—sports. I had been hearing people talking about the baseball season, so I had decided that I wanted to be informed about that, but the news I read ended up being a political news. That Monday, as the group of community service we went to Elim Park just like everyday. While I was visiting elderly people, I found myself in an old woman's room. She was very kind, and talkative. The first thing I noticed was her tv. She was watching this tv show about politics in America. I heard a couple of stories about Hillary Clinton. She talked to me about Hillary Clinton and the presidencies, but I couldn't respond her, since I didn't follow the news about politics. That day I decided that I would read a news about politics. I saw a news that a journalist had written by using her own opinions about Clinton. I didn't understand what was going on in the news, but I had gained some ideas about the presidency in the States. In the news the journalist gave her opinions, and for me it was kind of hard to decide a side to pick.
