oooh child, things are gonna get easier

"Kristine, [your student] has been shot." I received the news only two hours ago.

Thankfully he's in the hospital recovering. Thank God he was only shot in the foot; the incident involved another student (from a neighboring school) who was shot in the back and killed.

Right now I feel numb and just sad. I'm scared for my students and I'm in shock. The world can be so ugly...

My God, I pray for my student and I pray for better days to come.
