1. There is a list of the worst colleges to go to..Southern in New Orleans has a 4% completion rate...that is insane..Texas Southern in Houston also made the list.
2. A senior at my former school was killed yesterday in a gang related event...apparently he was 20 and his mom was in the car and knew he hung out with the bad crowd..he just returned from the senior zoo fiend trip.
3. A group of Starbucks workers are suing over tips...apparently managers can't legally collect from the tip jar..thus is causing controversy between the baristas and shift managers...ruling will impact other areas in the hospitality arena...
4. The US is at the bottom of the list when it comes to paid vacation...France is at the top with 30:)
5. A girl from Christa's school is one of the final contestants on the Voice..she has a good chance of winning the competition:)
6. A 10 year old is fighting how organ donation recipients are placed on the transplant list..apparently only 12 and up are on the main list...that they calculate the score of whose in the worst condition, etc..because the girl is 10 and desperately needs a lung, she won't be considered until all 200 something adults pass up the lung..it is hard for kids to find donors because of the low mortality rate for young people...so sad!!
And finally, I would like for everyone to please play for a childhood friend. She lives in Dallas, is a nurse and has two small boys and and a husband. She was just diagnosed with stage 3 (possibly stage 4) breast cancer...she is going to fight hard, but today she has a scan to see how bad it really is...life is do precious and I pray for her and her family. I know my family was devastated when Christa was diagnosed with thyroid cancer...please pray for Julie and her family.
