  1. I think that there should be awareness of all cancers in general. I don’t like how sometimes there’s more focus on one cancer and not others. I am from Palm Beach Gardens, so Jupiter is the neighboring city to it. I have been in Palm Beach County my whole life and Jupiter has grown a lot. Homeless people is a big problem in Palm Beach County. I think there should be a program that lets prisoners learn a certain trade so when they’re released, they’re not homeless.

  2. Hi Gabriel, your post is relevant to me because I'm from Palm Beach county, however I chose the Miami Herald for my own blog. In fact, I live in Jupiter, and your second article makes sense to me because I've seen some good changes in the city for myself. I like the articles that you've chosen for this post, they give quite a positive and optimistic approach to the issues they discuss. The articles from my post were a little more negative, but check them out to learn about local news from Miami. http://camcoop8.blogspot.com/2016/01/identifying-local-opportunities.html
