Last April vacation‚ my father took me on a trip to Israel to visit his friend. He said it would probably be the last time we could spend extended time together‚ just the two of us‚ seeing that college was only one year away. But to me‚ after a long cold New England winter‚ I was looking forward to kicking back at the Mediterranean Sea beach in Tel Aviv.

This article summarizes that college debt keeps increasing every year because college tuition is getting more and more expensive. They also say that each university tries to see what money they can bring in to help students pay for tuition. When students get out of college they have to pay the debt back after a six month period grace.

The Eruption of Mount Pinatubo On the 15th June of 1991‚ the second largest volcanic eruption of the twentieth century took place on the island of Luzon in the Philippines‚ 90 km northwest of the capital city Manila.

The arc of volcanoes is due to the subduction of the Manila trench to the west. The mountain

There is training‚ mental and physical‚ and days of tracking up a mountain that could potentially kill even the most experienced Sherpas and guides. Despite it being an incredible feat climbers can say they have accomplished‚ there are many obstacles climbers have to persevere through as they climb. A climber has a limited supply of oxygen in their tank. They have to make it from Camp Four‚ to the peak‚ and back before the tank runs out completely
