WHY!?

...are there so many crazy fires!? It makes me sad to think of all the people who are being displaced and how many ever here on Chapman campus are affected by it. It’s hard to focus on doing other good things and helping our community when there are trees and houses being burned down all over our state as a majority of it lies under a thick cloud of suffocating smoke. This will turn out to be, not only a major loss, but a setback within many communities. I hope Chapman University and Orange can remain safe so that we can continue to push forward, especially with our environmental awareness. The last thing I would want would be an already wasted $68 million to be burnt to a crisp. I think…I would actually cry. Weird?

But I pray that all who are affected by these fires will, too, be able to progress forward in their lives and have a strong support group behind them. It's a state-wide crisis, as we can't be well if the rest are not.
