Ebola has sparked interest as of late, in large part due the 2014 Ebola virus outbreak, which originated in West Africa and eventually spread all over the world, including the U.S. With the emergence of Ebola in the U.S, it has been suggested by many that Americans subjected to Ebola must be isolated and put in quarantine until it’s known with certainty that they don’t have

A Hole in my Heart In this image I see my family gather together near my sister’s casket. If we look even closer, we will notice that everyone is not crying, but is putting a smiling face. It feels as if everything was already even though it hurt inside.
