The devastating typhoon in the Philippines is crazy to think about. It must be scary to be submerge in water within seconds not knowing it was going to happen. Swirling water from the ocean filled the streets. It is very sad that many people were killed by this typhoon. People were swept away in tsunami-like torrents. Some people are very lucky to be alive right now and i pray for everyone struggling for survival, food, and shelter out in the Philippines.

Invisibility          
             If I were able to be invisible for one day I would watch out for any danger or help the elderly. Having the advantage of being invisible would allow me to report any danger I see going on or helping an old woman or man with things they are unable to do. If i saw any problems going on I can report them but I would not be targeted by the person causing the danger because I would be invisible. I would be giving a helping hand to the police telling them what is going on and making the world a better and safer place.
             The elderly have problems with parts of there bodies like their back or hips; if i were invisible I would help cleaning up their front and back yard. I can rake there leaves and cut their lawn so they would not have any busy work to do. These are both good deeds I can do to help others, that i would not mind not get recognition.
