The event that I had great feelings for was the tragedy of Columbine
School shooting. I could not believe that something so awful could or even
should happen to people my age, to people that were innocent and to people
who were just doing what they were supposed to be doing…going to school. It
happened to People who were just going to school…a place that they thought
was safe. A place that they went to learn, to play sports, have fun and be
with friends. Why would someone do this to twenty-five innocent people? Not
just people though, children, teenagers… that didn't even get to live a life
yet. They didn't get to get married, have kids or even see their
grandchildren. They didn't have a chance to enjoy the fun things in life…the
things children and teenagers can't wait to do in life.
All I could think about when I heard about this awful tragedy was what
was going through the gunmen's heads? What possibly were they thinking when
they were shooting those guns? Why did they have so much hate in them to have
to kill twenty-five innocent students and injure many others, physically and
mentally? And why…out of all the things, did they decide on killing people,
rather than getting help from someone.
I feel the pain that the survivors, relatives and friends feel. I feel
the suffering. It really isn't right or fair. But what is right and fair in
the minds of some people in the world these days? All I can say is that I
will pray for those that were killed, hurt, were friends and family of those
that were killed and also for the killers because they are probably
regretting what they did to all those people they hurt.
I wrote this for my English class paper. But i wanted to send it to you to
tell you that i think that what was done...was very wrong. And that i feel
all your pain and sorrow, maybe not as strong but I really do. I know I
didn't know anyone that was killed or injured ...but I feel as if I knew
them. I feel as if I should have knew them because they seemed like really
nice people. I just can't believe that this could happen to such beautiful
people, inside and out. People my age...I am truthfully sorry...
thankyou for reading. and please respond if possible
