Let the praise wash over "Hailee" for her article, "The roots of Joy". She brings a refreshing turn from the constant assail of articles depicting all the evils of the world. It is true we live in a tumultuops world, and ignorance is unwise; however, very few articles ever show the opposite side of the arguement. None ever attempt to change the wrongoings for the better, only repeat that the world is ending. Reading "Hailee"'s recollection of her experience in Cass Park with those elated little children brightened the rest of my day. It brings great hope to hear of the children coming from troubled or broken homes, who still manage to find joy, "in the happiness of others and making simple memories."  This article mages to be both eye opening and hopeful at the same time, showing it's not the end of the world. Thank you "Hailee," for breaking away from the doomsday motif.
