Week 4: Famous Last Words

So far, this class has been a lot different from all my others as I am slowly but surely getting used to this whole blog thing. I am so used to d2L when doing online classes but have always kind of wanted to start my own blog so here we are! As the semester goes along, I look forward to getting to know more people through their blogs. I have already come across some people that I can really relate to in terms of their lifestyles, their interests, their major and future desired job, etc.  I have also noticed a lot of peoples writings and the creative ways they tell their stories and I look forward to implementing some of those tactics in my writing in the next few weeks!

One event that happened this week that was extremely sad was that the wife of an Oklahoma City Thunder assistant coach died in a car accident this past Wednesday and was one of the bigger news stories of this week, and really of the month. Normally I do not like to talk or write about sad events like this but it really taught me a lesson of how to not take anything for granted and tell your family you love them each and every day, at every moment because you never know what could happen. I have always heard that but for some reason, it really meant a lot this week. I think one of the reasons was because there were so many athletes on TV who knew the coach and knew his wife who died and even the athletes you see every night playing basketball, people who you think are the toughest people on the world... were crying. For example, Kevin Durant was asked about it at practice and had to leave his press conference during the middle of it because he was so emotional. You see your parents cry, you see your friends cry, but rarely do you see athletes cry. People you don't look at as normal people were affected by this in a great way and it just goes to show you how special of a person she was and how she impacted everyones life. 

I thought this picture was perfect and the quote was something that was quite fitting for this moment...
