To The Two Heroes In The Brock Turner Case
Teen Vogue

Carl-Fredrik Arndt and Peter Jonsson. Those are the names of the two men that saved "Emily Doe," the unconscious woman found behind the dumpster where Brock Turner was in the process of ruining her life. I personally didn't hear about these two gentlemen until a couple of days ago, after repeatedly hearing the name Brock Turner. I think the world needs to thank these two heroes.

To Carl and Peter, thank you both for having the courage to do something that not many people would do. Stopping someone from committing a crime sounds easy, right? It sounds easy until you're in that position. Who has the guts to stop a monster in his tracks?

Carl and Peter did.

Brock Turner could've been anyone. He could've done anything. He could've pulled a gun on this young woman or these two men. Instead, he ran. And Peter chased after him and was able to restrain him until authorities got ahold of this monster.

We all have friends and family members that we love dearly, and we hope that they're always safe. However, in situations when they're in danger, we hope that hero, like Carl or Peter, would be there to save the day.

Carl and Peter, thank you for saving that poor girl. Thank you for stepping in and putting a stop to her vicious assault. Thank you for stopping the coward that was on top of her and thank you for chasing after him when he tried to escape. I could only hope to be as courageous as you two. And it doesn't matter whether you guys are Stanford graduates or not, you still saved someone's life.

I know you both don't want the spotlight to be on you, but there are not enough words or enough things one could do for you to realize what heroes you both are.

Thank you for being two heroic gentlemen.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
