Recently I read a very touching article. An 11 year old boy name Brendan Foster who is terminally ill with leukemia made a very selfless last wish. Brendan shows courage knowing in his last week of living he will die soon. His whole family says he's wise beyond his years and are extremely proud to have him in their family. When he got his last wish it was to feed the homeless but since he was too ill to leave his bed he had people got out in seattle and all the cities nearby and give sandwiches . His mother says he is creating a legacy and he has done more than some people have in their lives in short time here. His mother also goes on to say his live has meaning and gives Brendan great peace to know his wish came true. Before dying in his mother arms he said he was amazed how such a young boy could make a difference. This story is very touching and it shows anyone can make a difference, even if it is just making a wish.

Quarter 2 outside reading post 1
In a recent article I read, police are still searching for the person who shot one man to death and critically injured another in Tukwila, Washington. The incident happened in a mall where a group of 18-20 year olds got into a fight and then one man pulled out a gun and fired off about six or seven shots. Almost everyone evacuated the mall while ambulances came to help the victims. Not only did the people who got shot get rushed from the mall to hospital, but a woman was going into labor as well as a man with a neck injury. This night was filled with chaos as a S.W.A.T. searched the stores to find the shooter and they ended up nabbing two men for questioning but unfortunately neither was the shooter. Authorities in the area are still searching for suspects and the mall is scheduled to open again soon.
