Why You Are Awesome
A lot of students I meet ask me why I like being on CNN Student News. The answer: Our audience is awesome. Every member of our staff enjoys your enthusiasm, attention, interest in current events, and [especially] your blog responses. Oh, and your sense of humor (not to mention your patience with mine) really goes a long way too.
It is truly a privilege for me to appear on your TV, MP3 player or classroom screen each school day, telling you what's going on in the world. It's one of the many blessings I'm thankful for this Christmas. And whatever you celebrate, all of us at CNN Student News wish you a merry and bright holiday season.
Please be sure to tell us what you're up to while you're off! Be safe, and God bless.
Yours,
Carl Azuz, Anchor
Everyone is awesome and everyone is just as important. Everyone is equal and no one should be put down by other student adult or teacher. Everyone is awesome and just amazing as everyone else because everyone has a unique gift.
sometimes well all the time your jokes are really cheezy says my class and i.
Scientists should not have told the public about the new species now people are going to hunt them.
Carl, you are awsome too! (but your jokes, not so much) Our social studies class watches your videos almost everyday and we complain if we can't watch them. It is cool to be able to to just watch a video instead of work at the beginning of class. We can relax for 10 minutes while also getting information on what's happening around the US and the world. If you read this, send out a shoutout to Mrs. Norfleet's class. Merry Christmas!
Carl i have been writing down most of every story you have covered since september i think you are funny and awesome
I'm going to Kansas to visit my dad and grandma I really can't i'm gonna have a blast. Merry christmas everyone and a happy new year
Just work on those puns man, Have fun over the holidays in whatever you do. :]
I am awesome cause I'm me and No one else can be me........
i think im not awesome i think the people without homes are awesome because they go most of their lives without food or water or anything to live off of thats why i thank god for what i have and know that i could end up like that.
Hey Carl, CNN Student News would not be the same without you. I hope you have a nice winter break.
Let me just say that Carl you are the master of comedy and that you could have a very amazing singing career. So have a merry christmas!
P.S. your cool:]
hey Carl, CNN would not be the same at all with out you :]
but I think that you have to work on your puns some more, your the best!! have a wonderful and merry christmas and a happy new year.
I think my CLASS is awesome. We work as a team, and we are on the way to sucess!
No Offense Carl,
but you may need to get some better puns 🙂
First of all i want to say hi to mr.johnsons class. and carl you give the puns life. ok back to busyness.... over the break i am having the whole family come over 😎 bye
I MIGHT be going to NYC this christmas (my first time) and i cant wait to see theglorious lights and christmas trees. I wish i could show you Carl!
carl i love your puns! my class thinks your AWESOME, they always laugh at your puns.
MERRY CRISTMAS!
p.s., think of an awesome pun,make it kinda' chezzy, it will make my class LOL!:] :] :] :] :]
I think if they were going to do it they would at least had his approval.
i thing that i am cool because everyone nows that
carl , i think my whole class is Awesome because almost everyone
knows a second launguage , i know five . u rock!
I agree with Mrs. Shorts math class..No body should be put down by anybody just because they're small or young or tall or short or even bad looking....
i sure hope none of those snakes, spiders and rabbits live in me town because i don't want to wake up in the morning with one of those in my bed that would freak me out!!
Even though the question is: Why are YOU awesome? all of the blogers should be saying that everyone is awesome in their own speicial way wheater its art, spelling,drama writing,or just for having lots of friends you can trust
Hi Carl, My class watches CNN every day. We all think your awsome but not so much your jokes. MERRY CHRISTMAS CNN(and carl) AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. MERRY CHRISTMAS Middle School North and a happy new year!!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
Carl, some of your jokes may be a bit corny, but that makes you who you are. I like how you put jokes in, it makes the show less serious. We get too much of that anyway from our teachers! Have a very merry Christmas!
Hey Carl, I really think that you should work on a couple REALLY good PUNs over the holiday for days like especially awesome Fridays!........ and tomorrow.....(La vees na dee da! La vees na dee da! I'm sure you heard that before, Carl. Could you please sing it? I wanna wish you a merry Christmas from the bottom of my heeeeeaaaaarrrrt!
😉
You really should take some advice from Carl Castle or Brian Unger about your sense of humor. But next year, instead of saying Merry CHRISTMAS you should say Happy HOLIDAYS. Some people might be offended- Separation of Church and state- don't forget Festivus, Hannakah, Kwanza, Boxing Day, ect.
Happy Holidays, Carl.
Everyone is awsome in there special way, I think my class is pretty awsome because we study, try our hardest,and accomplish the goals our teacher sets for all of us. So thanks CNN for letting us share this with you!
Merry Christmas Carl,CNN, and Everyone who is watching this.
Mr.Paughs 1st period class

You should do a story on Chuck Norris!!!
Chuck norris defines awesomeness!

Now Carl I realize that I will be doing absolutly nothing for the entire break so I will instead tell you a very interesting fact..... The Earth's orbit is slowly failing one day we will all fall to a firey demise....
P.S don't fret think if the Earth is gone you won't have to worry about your job security anymore 🙂
I am awesome because now I can be here and see people say they are awesome.
Merry Christmas.
Happy Holidays.
Carl,
I love the show. I'm 27 and not in school anymore, but I do watch the show everyday. I find it to be an awesome and funny way to get the news I need to know. I really love the puns!!!! Even the ones that may not be as funny as some. Keep on doing what your doing. It really makes for a great show. I love off the beaten path it is one of my fave parts of the show.
Have a happy and safe Christmas and New Years.
Everyone is awesome in a way and you are totally awesome. Funny and making news seem like fun. I have enjoyed your shows for several months and wish you a merry christmas and a merry financial crisis solution.
i guess that i will miss you during the happy but boring and long winter vacation. sure, it's fun, but only when you are in school when you are on vacation, i want to go back to school.
ill miss you carl over the winter but the good news is american vacation is shorter . that means that i can watch merry news on vacation!!!
i'm sure you get commented on your corny jokes but at least they fit in with the story.

Frostbite

Carl azuz why do you like being on cnn student news
What i have to say is that no human being is better than the other. Just some people make bad decisions in life. So if one person is awsome so are the rest.

I think everyone is awesome because everyone was created to be special, unique and different. That is why I believe everyone is awesome and no one should be excluded or discriminated because of their race or gender.

I am a middle school special education teacher in Lawrenceville and my class watches CNN Student News every day. It is truly a “window to the world” for them. They went from being painfully unaware of current events to being able to express a basic understanding of the issues and how they are affected by them. One of my students (who has great difficulties putting his thoughts on paper in class) has even been going to the website at home to blog about the stories we see!!
Thanks and keep up the great work!
We love CNN Student News!
Have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year!
Love,
Carlos, Jalene, Keyanna, Maureen, Philip, Pedro, Bhavani, Grant, Mrs. Schoeck and Mrs. Betty
I'm live in Korea.
Well, it didn't feel like Christmas at all here.
Only the music and the radio said about Christmas.
The only way I enjoyed Christmas was text-messaging with my friends on my cellphone.
This economy problem will have to be solved or Korea will never celebrate Christmas in my opinion.
My freind, kyle and I are going to colorado to ski because there is nothing like kicking off the new year skiing with my pal.
I'm Korean , and I'm watching for Cnn student news!
In Korea, economic is a serious trouble.
Also, all the students in Korea are having terrible time despite of winter vacation because they have to study : you know, korean students even elementry students do not sleep untill 3 o'clock and gets up in 6 o'clock to study!!!(even on christmas.)
Please say "Cheer up!"to all the korean students.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
My family is busy getting ready for our christmas party. This involves cleaning the entire house, only to see all our hard work destroyed, and helping make many different dishes. Then we still have to put up with hanging around some interesting people. For New Years we put the younger kids to bed. Then my parents, two older siblings, and I watch a movie. At about 11:30 we go to wake up all of the younger kids to watch the ball drop. Once we get them down stairs, to the family, room they tend to fall asleep on the floor. Later that day, they are all tired, causing short tempers, lots of whining and crying, and I can't forget the screaming. the never ending, loud, room filling noise, that tells you that your home. It just wouldn't be my family without the screaming : )
Well Carl you are awsome and I am looking forward to see you not only bring students news but with all the news coverage and weather forecast. You are one of the best and I don't need my morning coffee to start my day when I have you bringing me the student news.
Im awesome because of my uncanny obsession with "B" movies and bad acting. Also, I think its cool that I like old bands like Cream and Led Zepplin. I don't like the Beatles because they're overrated, but John Lennon is cool.
You think we're awesome? Well we love you, too! Here is a poem that my friend and I wrote for you, Carl!
Carl, oh Carl, to you we write.
When we started watching CCN Student News, it was love at first sight!
My favorie part is when you're on screen
Away from Carl I never could ween
You always make the freshest puns
involving bakers and their buns
Every day during the shoutout, I scream
If i get them all right maybe I too could join the CNN team!
When you take us off the beaten path,
I get happiness that no other girl hath
Blue is definitely the color for you
whenever you wear it we cant wait to hear whats new.
You always keep me in the loop.
Seeing you makes me want to "WHOOP!"
I watch student news when I'm at home sick,
It's a habbit that I just can't seem to kick!
You teach us about things from Presidents to juice,
And that's why we love you, Carl Azuz!
You should have a section on the show (maybe on a slow day?) about all of Carl Azus's adoring fans!!!
Thanks I agree I think I am awsome but I also think that you are awsome to.(Don't you get stage fright when you are up there?).Have a awsome 2009!.
My broadcast class is awesome because we watch CNN Student News every day! We love you Carl!
Our science class watches you every day and we always complain if we don't get to watch cnn news. We enjoy watching it but the jokes need some updating. I think the sound effects are very appropriate after your jokes, because it expresses what everyone is feeling. Love your show and have a great year!:)
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!
i think your awsome and kind of weird
HI CARL UMM.... MY CLASS AND LOVE YOUR SHOW I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE AWSOME IN THEIR OWN SPECIAL WAY OOOOHHH MERRY CHRISMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! (:
Thank you guys (CNN crew) for being there every morning. As a 7th grade student I rather watch funny, awsome news, then doing work. You guys make news interesting and fun. Keep on keeping on! Merry late Christmas and a happy late New Years! 🙂
I used to live in georgia, and dude you visited my school.Fayetteville, remember?I came up to you along with my friends and told you that you were awesome.How"s that for cool eh?I do not think you'll ever go back to White Water Middle, but if you do, say Hi!!!To Mrs.Jones for me. Plaese and thank you.
Hi Carl, I think that you are very funny but there's just one problem you need to get better puns. Not for all of your shows but for a couple. Most of your puns are funny and my class laughs but for others not so much. So I guess we'll see you on tuesday. Bye!
Hi Carl, um.....my class loves your shows. Every other day my class gets to see you and even though we know we're going to watch it we ask"are we going to watch cnn?" and then...of course we know the answer to that..."yes." Lizzy- Mr. Hemphill's class
