To The Two Heroes In The Brock Turner Case

In case you don't know who they are.

To The Two Heroes In The Brock Turner Case
Teen Vogue

Carl-Fredrik Arndt and Peter Jonsson. Those are the names of the two men that saved "Emily Doe," the unconscious woman found behind the dumpster where Brock Turner was in the process of ruining her life. I personally didn't hear about these two gentlemen until a couple of days ago, after repeatedly hearing the name Brock Turner. I think the world needs to thank these two heroes.

To Carl and Peter, thank you both for having the courage to do something that not many people would do. Stopping someone from committing a crime sounds easy, right? It sounds easy until you're in that position. Who has the guts to stop a monster in his tracks?

Carl and Peter did.

Brock Turner could've been anyone. He could've done anything. He could've pulled a gun on this young woman or these two men. Instead, he ran. And Peter chased after him and was able to restrain him until authorities got ahold of this monster.

We all have friends and family members that we love dearly, and we hope that they're always safe. However, in situations when they're in danger, we hope that hero, like Carl or Peter, would be there to save the day.

Carl and Peter, thank you for saving that poor girl. Thank you for stepping in and putting a stop to her vicious assault. Thank you for stopping the coward that was on top of her and thank you for chasing after him when he tried to escape. I could only hope to be as courageous as you two. And it doesn't matter whether you guys are Stanford graduates or not, you still saved someone's life.

I know you both don't want the spotlight to be on you, but there are not enough words or enough things one could do for you to realize what heroes you both are.

Thank you for being two heroic gentlemen.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
