tragedy strikes

I'm in such shock and awe about the news surrounding my alma mater, Virginia Tech. More than 31 students have dies in a tragic, horrible, senseless shooting. As an alumni, I just can't even believe this happened at my university...somewhere I always felt safe and protected. I can't stop thinking about the students and faculty there-you all are truly in my thoughts an prayers.

While Columbine and this shooting were both truly horrific, I hope that in this shooting, there is a lesson to us all. A wakeup call to decision makers to tighten up gun control laws. A warning to schools and universities to be VIGILANT-reach out to students before it is too late and tragedy strikes. It is also a sad reminder to us all to not take anything for granted-every day in life is sacred, and you never know what life will hand you.

Peace be with you Virginia Tech students and faculty. May you find your inner strength in a truly tragic ordeal.
