		<title>Another Earthquake?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I am sure everyone has heard about the earthquake in Chile. (It is like the 4th one this year! Why are so many happening?) But for the earthquake in Chile many people died, which is sad. What I don’t see is that no one is really panicking about it. They did have a bad [...]]]></description>

		<title>Walking for Runaways</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Country singer Jimmy Wayne is no stranger to the experience of not knowing whether there will be a home to come back to at the end of the day.

		<title>Flaws</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The recent magazine issue is about loving our flaws. I can probably name good dozen or so flaws about myself.

		<title>A Little Self-Reflection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this week, I wrote about how we should change how we see ourselves in order to be more confident in how we look. That sort of change had been a struggle for me when I was growing up, and from time to time it still is.
It&#8217;s hard to feel good about yourself when all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Curfews</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Curfews suck especially when we are teens. When we are younger than 12 years old our curfew is around 8 or 9 at night. As we grow older our curfews go later and later. Right now I am about 17 years old. I do believe I have a curfew but it is not set in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Embracing Your Flaws</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a society built on hierarchy and rankings, whether it be the best schools or the most beautiful, we measure ourselves by comparison.
We measure how we look against the standards that fashion magazine editors, Hollywood casting directors, etc. consider beautiful, pretty, attractive. Essentially, these are imaginary standards to which only a few can adhere remotely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So March is Women’s History Month. “Women&#8217;s History Month is an annual declared month in the United States that highlights Women&#8217;s history contributions of women to events in history and contemporary society.” I have two different opinions about that. 
The first one is that I am glad that the United States has a month specifically [...]]]></description>
