Thoughts And Prayers For Sandy Hook

Dear families and survivors of Sandy Hook,

This tragedy not only opened my eyes but also millions of others. No one really knows what can possibly happen until it actually happens. That needs to change it seems like something is clouding everyone’s vision we need more safety. As the seconds, minutes, pass by horrible things are happening such as deaths. Future scientists, artists, singers, dancers and many more intelligent students were killed. Who would’ve thought that the good bye the parents and husbands and wife’s said to their children or teachers was the last goodbye.

It’s sad that it took this to touch people’s hearts. It shouldn’t be that now we walk in school with fear in our hearts. If school isn’t safe than what is? From now on we wouldn’t have to worry about that we are improving our safety system. We are going to do something about this we are going to make a change. We Westland Hialeah high school students care about you and you are not alone we are all in this together.

Sincerely,
Briona Laws

Thoughts And Prayers For Sandy Hook

To the families of a Newtown, CT

You have no idea how many times I have re-written this letter because I wanted every single one of them to come out perfect. Then I realized how you wouldn’t want people sending you written letters that sound as if they meant nothing at all. Which is why I hope this letter does not make you feel that way.

The day I heard of the news I received a phone call from my Mom crying telling me what had happened, and telling me to please be safe in school. After that I couldn’t imagine how badly you wanted to call your children and tell them to be safe and that you love them. Many of you may be telling yourselves that you could have done something and you could have saved your child’s life from the nightmare they were living and hearing the sound of their voices saying “Thank you for being my hero.”

I remember coming home from school and people calling about the news and the only things that went through my head was why would anybody do something like this, and what could the parents reaction to all this be. On that same day I changed in that I shouldn’t take my life for granted and spend my whole life doing nothing, because in the very next minute we don’t know how we will affect this world and make a change in somebody else’s life. Ever since I was little I loved to write. I would right pages and pages of stories and make believe worlds where I can write anything and make everything the way I want it to be. This entire situation made me realize how I shouldn’t take my love of writing for granted.

I wanted to let you all know that my family is always praying for you and the fallen. They pray for those of you who have lost someone you held close to your heart like maybe a teacher, friend, son, or daughter, or lost your child’s hope in safety. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to send your kids off to school every morning, or a teacher arriving to school hoping that if anything goes wrong he or she will have the ability to protect his or her students.

I can’t tell you that life will get better because no one knows what the future holds, but what I can tell you is that you will get through this because I have faith that you will move on from this, but I know that you will always have your loved ones in your mind and a heavy heart. I wish every single one of you the very best.

Love,
Beatriz Perez

Thoughts And Prayers For Sandy Hook

Dear Barden Family,

When I heard about the tragedy that happened on December 14, 2012 in Newtown, I was heartbroken. I couldn’t believe that something so horrific had happened. I am sorry that your son Daniel couldn’t live out his dream to be a firefighter. This served as a wake-up call for me. It made me realize how crazy and unfair life is. That there are so many people out there that can destroy the life of others.

What it made me most aware of is how anyone, child or the elder, can be in a dangerous situation in a matter of seconds. I have a five year old nephew, and after December 14, I worry about him and his safety all the time. I panic, wondering if something bad might happen to him, or if a stranger is near him.

Every time I have family with me, I make sure to spend most of my time with them. I now know not to take that time for granted. Life should be about laughter and joy, like Daniel’s. Thanks to him I appreciate my life and everyone in it.
This letter is to give my gratitude to you and to Daniel. And even though I didn’t know him, ill always remember him as the kid everyone said he was, joyous.

I hope no one forgets this day in history. It is part of our nation, and it is part of us. Those lives lost on that day should be remembered and honored on the years to come. No one should forget someone or something that changed all of our lives forever. May your little firefighter rest in peace.

Sincerely,
Gwenaelle Reyes

Get Into Shape – Your Review

Get Into Shape – Your Review

How Do I Get Into Shape?

Most people want the answer to the following question. How do I get into shape? I know that you think it is easier said than done. To some degree I will not disagree with you. However, you do have to ask yourself, how serious are you about this task? Losing weight goes hand in hand with getting into shape, the two must be perfectly choreographed and the final piece is an incredible result that will leave you feeling better than you ever had for sure.

Getting into shape is essential if there is to be quality of life, most of us, and I include myself, live life in a funk and rarely pay attention to anything that we eat. When actually what we eat, is what makes us feel the way we do. Greasy fast food, heavy carb diets, are all that you need to help you feel the worst that you probably ever have. Kids can get away with living life in the early years by cheating on some of the fast food places. However knowing what I know, I have begun to modify the orders that I place at fast food places when we do attend.

Simple modifications like apple juice over soda, apple bites over fries, can take the negative load over some of the choices. However, my great accomplishments are going to the fast food places, and avoiding the food altogether. Learning how to get into shape, helped pave the way for me and it will for you too. Simple steps for you to follow are just moments away…what are you waiting for? Unlock the key to getting into shape and eating right, make this life count.

Sandy Hook Thoughts…Emily Parker

Sandy Hook Thoughts…Emily Parker

Dear mother and father of Emilie Parker,

I cannot even imagine the amount of grief and sadness you must be experiencing at the moment, and I know that words can do nothing more than add salt to your wounds of rememberence. But, on December 14th 2012, my life was forever changed. When I found out about the incident. My comfort zone in school safety was damaged, and my respect for teachers grew as well so much so.

The incident at Sandy Hook gave me awareness that schools are really not that safe after all and we must do everything in our power to assure the safety and the comfort of the students in it. I think that although it was a tragic thing that happened, America has learned from it. I am sorry that your sacrifice had to be such a great one. You lost an angel!

This unfortunate event has also helped me gain an even larger respect for teachers. To think that not only do they work hard to teach us and help us have a better future each and every day, but they would also without hesitation risk their own lives to guarantee our future and safety. For this they should be highly respected and honored each day.

This event has affected every single American’s heart and mind, we will try our best to ensure that this incident will not repeat itself for the sake of not only the students, parents, and teachers, but for the sake of our country. Mr. And Mrs. Parker, your daughter and the rest of the Newtown victims will be remembered forever.

Sincerely,

Ayamey Caro

The Sandy Hook Tragedy – Josephine Gay

The Sandy Hook Tragedy – Josephine Gay

Dear parents of Josephine Gay,

I’m very sorry for your loss. I hope that you are doing well because nobody expects you to do be doing good. I wish I would’ve met your daughter because the picture that I saw she looks like an angel. No, she is an angel!

The reason I’m writing this letter to you is because I want you to know that I care a lot about what happened to your daughter. Even though I know people are just going to forget about what happen to your daughter and the others I’m sure that for a fact that I wont, because when I see your daughters picture it just breaks my heart that an innocent little girl with a beautiful soul is gone.

I hope that when you read my letter and the others written, that only tears of joy come out because we just want to let you know how much we care about you and Josephine. Also I want to let you know that it will get better somehow, someway. I just know it will!

Sincerely,
Arlen Campos

The Sandy Hook Tragedy

The Sandy Hook Tragedy

Dear Families of the Sandy Hook victims,

My heart aches for the fallen staff members and innocent children that passed away in this horrifying tragedy. Having to cope with the after math is unbearable. One thing this event has helped me realize in my life is to never take life for granted. To appreciate and cherish all the moments I spend with my family and loved ones.

I’m a sophomore student and every morning when I wake up I tell my family I love them. The reason being is because I never know when it will be my last day. As a student, worrying about my school’s safety should be the last of my worries. This deadly rampage has me questioning my safety at school and whether or not my life’s at risk.

This memorable event has caused awareness Nationwide about school’s safety and gun control. Now President Obama has targeted new gun control laws. Focusing on stricter gun laws is a good start in change that has been brought to the President. I’ve lost a good and loving friend of mine to gun violence. So this idea makes me feel some sort of relief.

As to the teachers that have passed away, they are truly soldiers. Risking their lives to protect their students is an amazing Act of Valor, I hope it never becomes an after-thought. I now appreciate and respect teachers and staff so much more. Once again, I am sorry for your loss. Keep your heads up. As I like to say, through every dark night there’s a brighter day.

Sincerely , Antonela Sequeira

The Emma Way Story – Very Foolish Criminal Minds

The Emma Way Story – Very Foolish Criminal Minds

Twitter Strikes Again!

These stories never cease to amaze us, this is why we read them, republish them and share them with the world over and over again. This story is not any different. Twitter as a social animal has solved so many cases, with the help of the re-tweet. Chalk up another for the social service. Justice has been serve, cold dish or not, served. Here is a short post on what exactly happened courtesy of “Yahoo news”.

The criminal mind can be cunningly brilliant—or stunningly foolish. You can safely put Emma Way of the U.K. into that second category. She’s the aggressive 21-year-old motorist who allegedly hit a cyclist while out for a drive in the city of Norwich, fled the scene, and bragged about it on Twitter on Monday. “Definitely knocked a cyclist off his bike earlier—I have right of way he doesn’t even pay road tax! #bloodycyclists,” she tweeted.

Her admission was soon re-tweeted more than 300 times, inspiring angry responses and the nickname “twit and run girl” by fellow Twitter users. They also re-tweeted her brag to the social-media savvy Norfolk police department, who wrote back, “we have had tweets ref an RTC with a bike. We suggest you report it at a police station ASAP if not done already & then us.” Though Way deleted her account, the ball kept rolling. The cyclist, Toby Hockley, a chef who had been taking part in an organized ride, came forward, and police said they tracked down Way and are progressing with an investigation.

On Wednesday, the police department told Yahoo! Shine there was “no further information at this time.” Way later apologized on ITV News, saying “It was a spur of the moment thing and I’m sorry,” adding, “I don’t want any cyclist to think I have hatred against them.” Her lawyer said during the interview that she’d been interviewed by police but that no arrest had been made.

Dear community of Sandy Hook,

I might not be a man of many words but the tragedy that happened at Sandy Hook is just Disastrous. Nobody can replace the lives of those innocent young children that lost their lives in this horrible tragedy. This made me focus so much on safety in every aspect because this is a serious problem that we now know can happen in schools, then most certainly this can happen anywhere.

Sometimes I wonder if we’ll ever be safe in school. I’ve had a lot of thoughts about this and I’m considering becoming a police officer, to improve and help make my community a safer place. If I do I will be active in schools giving them tips on how to help keep intruders out and make schools safe.

Also by acquiring certain technology crime prevention tools that will very much improve the safety of schools. If this ever happened to me I have to be honest I don’t know what I will do, but all my love goes out to the community of Sandy Hook, and the people touched by this tragedy. God bless you all.

Sincerely,

Anthony Rico

Dear: Parents & Family

I am sincerely sorry for the loss of your child in the shooting that fateful day at the Sandy Hook elementary in Newtown, CT. I am unable to imagine the immense pain you go through each and every morning since the tragedy. Just the thought of losing someone so close and dear to me such as a cousin, or a child brings me to collapse from my tears.

Currently as a student at Westland Hialeah Senior High School, I was mortified when I first found out about the shooting in which killed twenty students and six teachers, and staff members. I can’t come to imagine sitting in a class like room like any other day and having something so tragic like that happen.

It is a shame that the loss of twenty-six people is what led to the conclusion that we have to increase school security. Thank you for your time in reading this letter and may God help you cope with your days of sorrow. Let God bless their souls and may they rest in peace.

Sincerely, Anthony Posada
