Explanation:Direction's from Home to School.

                              Title: How do I get to school in the morning.

Every morning I always walk to school by feet with my little brother and with my two cousins.It usually takes us 10-15 minutes. Therefore I have to leave home at 8:40 so that I get to school on time.

First, you open the gate, walk left and then you see an alleyway.You’ll notice that there is graffiti on the concrete, grass growing against the silver fence and on the ground there’s cracked concrete.

Continue through the alleyway once you have reach down of the alleyway cross the road. Next you get to the other side then you walk left, you then still you keep walking straight. After that you cross to the other side and, then you just keep walking straight again then you see the school gate and you enter the school.

News Article. Colorado floods.

                         Colorado floods.

Around 500 people are unaccounted for and nearly 2000 people have been evacuated as flood-ravaged Colorado faces more rain. Officials have warned the death toll from the week's severe flooding could rise as it was confirmed that a second person was missing and presumed dead, in addition to four deaths previously verified. The 80-year-old woman had been at home with an injury when the building in which she lived was destroyed, the Larimer County sheriff's office said on its Twitter feed. Previously, authorities had confirmed that a 60-year-old woman was missing and presumed dead after witnesses said they saw her mountain home swept away. Their names have not been released.
