In the article "One Proud Uncle" by Abmin, The main charater Mathew gets an email saying the governor will decide how much money each school gets based on test scores.  This matters to me because as a freshman, if I don't get good grades and good test scores, I will have a hard time getting into a good college.  This is important to education because you can't get through school and into a good college if your high school has limited income from the state.  If your school is doing poorly with test scores, they should get more money to help test scores improve.  Overall I found this article interesting because kids need to get higher test scores so they can get into higher level colleges.  Also since we have had budget cuts in LPS this makes me wonder, if we have better test scores, will we have fewer budget cuts next year?

Article Title and Author: "Douglas county accident sends four teens to hospital," Pankratz 

Four teens get in a car crash and get sent to two different hospitals with undisclosed wounds.  This matters because a horrible accident affected four innocent teens.  I feel sorry for them because they could have died.
This affects our school to make teenagers more aware of the dangers of not wearing a seatbelt. Arapahoe students, when they get their licenses, should know what to do on the road.

This connects to the world because car accidents happen all over the globe.  Some are severe and some are not, but you should always wear a seatbelt just in case something happens.  

Every single time you get in your car, always obey the laws of the road.  It's never too early to buckle up.
