Being that I am a teacher, I can honestly say that I have been forced
to think about this tragic Newtown, Connecticut scenario many times in
my short years. We practice what to do if a shooter comes into our
schools. We lockdown. We teach the children not to scream even if they
hear gun shots in the next room over. As teachers, we pray that this
terrible event never happens to us, our school, our town. And we promise
ourselves that we will stand brave and protect our students with our
own lives, should it become necessary.
As this
incredible tragedy unfolds and we learn more about what happened in that
school building, my heart and prayers go out to the victims, the
parents, the police, and the entire town that is now trying to rebuild
and recover. To the teachers that held and soothed their students during
the attack; who calmly read aloud to their kids with gun shots the
accompaniment, the men and women first responders whose lives have
forever been changed, and the young, brave, innocent children.... I pray
that your hearts find some peace over the coming weeks.
