PLN 22

What matters in the world today, is the destruction of the Dallas Cowboy's former stadium. With the construction of the new stadium, the old stadium was just taking up space. The precisely placed explosives caused the stadium to implode. This caused no damage to surrounding buildings. This big event was for one main reason. The owners of the stadium held an essay contest to find a kid to "push the button." What they found was a little boy of twelve that was into football and like all other boys his age, wanted to blow something up. But the important thing about this boy is the topic of his essay. He wrote about all of the charity work he had done, and it touched the owners of the stadium. The boy they found had been working in varied charities since he was 8, and this is what caused the owners to believe that he deserved to blow the stadium sky high. I think this is important because the boy is being honored for his hard work. This is special because he probably was not expecting his charitable services to be rewarded in such an amazing way. Personally I think it would be really cool just to have the chance to demolish a giant building, but it would be really great if I knew it was because I did something great.
