I need to say, Summer's Coming ! If you're retarded and didn't know about it, you can see summer's coming by looking around you; in clothes ( guys tend to where shorts and tank tops, and girls are wearing more and more shorts, skirts, short shorts, tank tops, leggings, Keds shoes, sandals and ballerinas), trees are getting greener, snow is leaving, people are walking instead of taking there cars, etc.
Summer also means end of school, but unfortunatly, end of school isn't here without a long and harsh exam period. This year, the main study subject in French class is ''Child Soldiers''. It's a subject that really touches me, because there's a lot of kids my age that are exposed to all that violence. Did you know that there's about 300 000 chil soldiers in the world ?! I couldn't believe it when I saw the numbers. Talk about wanting to save the humanity ! It costs around 1800$ to get a child out of that terrible situation. ONE CHILD !
If you want to know more about child soldiers and how you can help :

Also, you should read China Keitetsi's book :
Child Soldier: Fighting for my life.
She was a child soldier in Uganda, and she ran away. The book is really thrill filled and inspiring.
On that, I wish you a GREAT summer, and I hope I taught you something !
