The Impact From VA Tech Tragedy :(

http://consciouscommunities.blogspot.com/


As I was going through the list of blogs to find another blog to write about, I came across this one about the VA Tech Shooting. It will be a year since this tragedy happen in April. WOW!! Can't believe it has been that long.:( But anyway, when this tragedy happen it left a huge impact on the world. This happened my senior year in high school, a month before graduation. (Same as most of you who is probably reading this blog.) When the media had announced what happened on our classroom television, it was a shock to all. To some of us seniors it kind of felt close to home, being the fact that the following fall season, most of us would be attending college as a freshmen.We were all thinking that what if that happens to us...or will it happen? (Well that's what I was thinking.) I remember this one incident, one of my fellow senior classmates made a threat about shooting everybody up like the guy did at VA Tech at our graduation. It seemed like our whole school went upside down. Due to the fact that the tragic incident happened earlier that week and that our graduation was the following month. Of course he had gotten reprimanded for his actions and graduation went just fine. However, I think that since that statement or threat was said, that the administrators thought that we would need extra security. My family told me after graduation that we had a whole lot of police officers around. I think that my grandmother said that there was like two officers at every entrance way at graduation. (My graduation was held at the Desoto Civic Center.) I just think that the incident from VA Tech had a large impact on schools every where, high schools and Univeristies (ESPECIALLY)!!

Enjoy!!
