PLN: Week 1- Post 1 OUCH!

I read a recent article from the Rocky Mountain News blog. The article was titled, "Wasp stings 10 kids boarding school bus" written by Lynn Bartels. This article was regarding a story about 10 out of 24 kids boarding a bus getting stung by the same wasp, the paramedics arrived at the scene to tend to the injured students. After the kids were tended to police and school officials found the nest near the bus stop.

This story relates to me in ways such as if I were to ride the bus to school this could potentially happen to me so I think it is important that through this story people learn how to prevent this sort of thing from happening. I also liked how well the school handled this situation by having the paramedics come and then searching for the nest it made me feel safe.

This story relates to the world because it could happen anywhere in the world, and having this story published allows adults and fellow students take precautions so that is doesn't happen to them. It also reminds me of 9/11 because of having it happen made our society be way more cautious, just like how the bees made people more aware of wasps.

I've also never been stung by a wasp or bee. I plan to keep it that way. Some people say that they won't hurt you if you don't bother them but that hasnt stopped me from yelling and running around when they are present. I thought this story was one of the funniest things I have EVER read.
