I am still processing what happened in Newtown yesterday and I still feel sick every time I think about it.

When I first heard the news about what was going on my mind went to my students at Solorio.

I can't imagine having something like that happen to my students or to my friends. When I heard that a kinder class was missing, I thought about what I would be feeling if Letty's class went missing. Words can't even describe what I would have felt if a class I have grown to care so much about was hurt or harmed. I have grown to love the students I work with so much that the thought of anyone harming them makes me angry and I ache.

I know I am not a parent, and I am completely aware of the fact that I have very little teaching experience, but I can also tell you that I have always been a person who loves others unconditionally (sometimes far too much). I feel for the families and children that have lost their lives and have been stricken of their innocence. I pray for the families and the children. I know that God is with them during this time. I am disgusted that people can act out in such a horrific way, but I also pray that in the future we will be able to help those with mental illnesses prior to something so awful occurring.
