写作练习

I am thinking that under the same sky, how many different stories are 

happening at the moment? I went to bed around 8 pm last night and woke up at 

3am this morning. Trying hard to sleep again but up and down for half an hour,

I could not sleep a wink.  Maybe I should try harder as

 Mike said? Anyway, I gave up trying harder to sleep, instead, I got up and 

went to the kitchen room and  made myself a pot of coffee and then started

 to practice my English.  First I read and then listened. The story I read is 

about a vivacious 6-year-old girl, Ana Grace Marquez-Greene, was killed 

among the 20 children killed in a shooting massacre at a Connecticut elementary 

school on Friday. She and her family moved to Connecticut from Winnipeg

 two months  ago(http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/story/2012/12/15/

mb-connecticut-shooting-winnipeg-victim-connection.html） Nothing is worse

 than the horrible feelings when losing a child. And the story I listened is about

 another Canadian girl, Christen, who is an athletic and strong built young lady, 

from the same city as the victim of the first story, she is doing dog sledding in 

spite of the extreme weather. Christine enjoys doing this challenging sport and 

luckily she gets support from her mother. All happy families are similar. 

(http://www.cbc.ca/player/News/ID/2316638888/). Two different girls, 

two different fates. Life is short, what should I do while still being alive? 

Shouldn't I Cherish every second being awake or sleeping?
