Harambe was a captive male Western Lowland gorilla, a critically endangered species in the wild. He was shot and killed after a child climbed into his enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden and fell into the moat. On September 18, 2014, Harambe was transferred to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden to learn adult gorilla behavior and join a new social group. On May 28, 2016, a day after his 17th birthday, Harambe was shot dead after a three-year-old boy entered his enclosure. The incident was recorded by a bystander and uploaded to YouTube, where the video went viral. Zoo director Thane Maynard stated, “The child was being dragged around... His head was banging on the concrete.” Another expert disputed this claim, saying Harambe was not a danger to the child. Another tragic event occurred shortly after. Lane’s parents watched one Tuesday night as an alligator grabbed their son in the shallows of a lake and dragged him deeper into the water, officials said. The father,...

This write up is not my personal work, it is intended to amplify Robin Roberts' plight on New Orleans's Hurricane. A PERSONAL ESSAY BY ROBIN ROBERTS. There's no place like home, and the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast will always be home to me. Having lived there beginning at the age of 8, I had become accustomed to hurricanes. But Hurricane Katrina was different with forecasters using words like “catastrophic” and “historic.” The morning of Katrina I went to work as usual, co-hosting GMA alongside Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer. During commercial breaks I would call and check in with my family in Mississippi. My mother was too ill to evacuate so my sister, Dorothy, and her two girls stayed with her in our Biloxi home. The initial video we saw of the storm did not seem as bad as predicted. So I didn't worry too much when the phone lines back home went dead. But by early afternoon everyone realized it was even worse than we thought it would be. ABC immediately got me ...

Early on a Friday morning, I saw on my newest friend's (Eddy) status message on her Blackberry Messenger - "I have Interview". Instantly, I remembered the first interview I had as a growing up youth; how cowardly I faced my interviewers, the headache that struck me after hearing the first question and how remarkably poor I was, at the end of the interview. I also remembered the recent interview I had with a West Africa Agency; how brilliant I was in facing the panel of evaluators, how I used my response to manoeuvre the poor result of my written test and how I got improved over the years. I can't keep all the experience I had over the years away from Eddy-this new friend of mine, as she was so curious of the interview. I gave her a few lines of what she can do within the nip of time, since it remains less-than one hour to the time of the interview. It was my encounter with Eddy that aroused my inspiration of focusing my write-up on "Fear". This write up ...
