Thomas, very, very true. I have a lot of friends in Japan, and all of them have been affected by the tsunami and the aftermath in some way. I lost family in the tragedy, and a few friends still remain homeless. This year's Japan Night donations are going to go to helping Japan (cash donations anyone?). It's honestly very, very upsetting.

The aftermath of the tsunami is still very harsh (as can be seen in the video), and the people of Japan still need help.
Among the Japanese families that were affected, American families were too. People can't ignore this.
I'm a native South Carolinian and I attained my undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of South Carolina. I taught fourth grade for two years in the Mississippi Delta and two years at an alternative high school in Western North Carolina. I have been at Tigard High School since the fall of 2003, where I teach U.S. History and Psychology.

That makes you think of how lucky you are to have a roof over your head and food to eat.

This really makes me think about how often people say "oh this could never happen to me" and yet thousands of people die because of natural disasters.
