Boston Marathon Mishap

Two weeks ago writing about Brooke McMullen seemed to be ordinary. Well, she was an extraordinary young adult, completing the Boston Marathon for the second year in a row at 19. But what she didn't expect was for an abrupt finish. Luckily and unluckily, McMullen hurt her ankle 9 miles in and couldn't finish the race. After speaking with her after the race, she said she would have most likely crossed the line at the same moment two explosions shook the finish line of Boston. After two dead and suspects in custody it's unbelievable and unimaginable that this actually happened. An ultimate state of schock overtook Boston but everyone was looking to help. Two good friends of mine traveled to Boston from UNH just to give blood to the hospital. They were 133 and 134th in line to donate. Then another thing UNH did was the vigil that I attended along with a thousand other students. It was clearly showing how much respect us college students have for our country, especially an area so close to our hearts.
