Tragedy at Virginia Tech
The tragic events at Virginia Tech's campus reminds us of life fragility. Nobody's life seems to be safe, even in a place we once considered such. Schools at all levels have been the target of violence. Columbine High School was one example. Virginia Tech was the latest. An arrest was made at my Alma Mater (the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY) last week -- a student was found at a nearby hotel room with illegal weapons. What were his intentions? Would RIT had become the next tragedy? There are so many questions and so few answers. Why are students turning against their own? What is our society doing about it? One thing is certain: we should realize how fortunate we are to be alive and safe. I am thankful for all the good things in my life and, more importantly, for all the people that enrich my every day.
