Meet The Faces Of Manchester

During a time filled with so much hate the best thing we can do is join together and radiate positivity.

When I decided to write this article I knew it was very important to go about it the right way. It is important to show compassion, empathy, and respect for all of those affected by what occurred. I decided not to use the words "victims" or "attack" because I think those are the kinds of words that give the horrible person behind this power. I think it is also important I talk as little about this person as possible because in my opinion we should be focusing our energy on celebrating the lives of the people who are no longer with us rather than dwelling on the negativity. During a time filled with so much hate the best thing we can do is join together and radiate positivity.

Georgina Callander

Georgina was an 18-year-old Runshaw College student from Lancashire. She was also known as an Ariana "superfan."

Saffie Rose Roussos

Saffie, only 8 years old was described as "a beautiful girl in every aspect of the world" by a past teacher.

John Atkinson














John, a 26-year-old man who was described as amazing kind and thoughtful will be missed by many.

Olivia Campbell

Olivia, just 15 who was thought to be missing when the incident occurred. Her mom took to Facebook writing a post in memory of her daughter who she says will be "singing with the angels".

Kelly Brewster

It was said that Kelly covered her niece from the explosion. At 40 years old she will be remembered as a hero.

Alison Howe & Lisa Lees

Friends and mothers 45 and 47 waited outside the concert to pick up their daughters. Both were considered such sweet people who will truly be missed.

Angelika and Marcin Klis


Parents, 40 and 42 were waiting at the concert to pick up their daughters. Both their children are safe.

Martyn Hett


29 year old Hett was separated from friends at the concert. His partner and brother both took to social media to remember an great man.

Nell Jones

Nell, just 14 was from a town about 20 miles from Manchester. She attended Holmes Chapel Comprehensive School.

Jane Tweddle-Taylor

A 50 year old school receptionist went to the concert with a friend to pick up her daughter. The friend and her daughter survived. She was also a mother of 3.

May those introduced above as well as any others who were killed rest in the sweetest peace. They will never be forgotten. My thoughts are also with any other people who were injured as well as the families and friends of those who attended this concert. I send my positive thoughts and prayers to everyone involved.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
