A Surprising Tragedy (In class assignment)

Friends and family members of Alyssa Alvarez were stunned at the recent news that she passed away today, Thursday, March 24, 2011. This sweet and friendly 19 year old grew up in San Diego County, moving from different houses and attending multiple schools. By the end of her elementary years, she already attended 4 schools, but that did not stop her from cultivating her friendships at her previous schools and making new ones. She was always really involved in school activities like basketball, drama, lacrosse, leading the Christian club and was in two youth groups. Starting in Jr. High, she entered a dark time where her faith was lost and it was not until her sophomore year when she found hope again and became a Christian. Her life dramatically changed and during her exciting and fun senior year, she was certain of what college she wanted to attend, Biola University. She was so excited to study journalism and was excited for her future. Those who knew Alyssa, feel extreme loss for their loved one.
