Being a teacher is such a blessing. There are many people out there who don't give teachers the credit they deserve. Many teachers shape the future of this world, teach children right from wrong, and give them love that they don't always receive from other adults. After hearing the terrible news of what happened at Sandy Hook on Friday, I couldn't help but take a step back and think about how those teachers must have felt. As a teacher (especially to young children) you are in many ways their mother. You zip their coats, wipe their tears, give them hugs, encourage them, reprimand them, help them with friendships, teach them responsibility, and give them love.
Its truly sad that their have been several people over the years who have come into a school and ruined this precious place that is meant to be safe, full of love, and learning. My heart breaks for the children whose lives ended too soon on Friday, but also for the teachers who dedicated their lives to this profession. I pray that this needless killing will stop. I pray that people will learn that killing one another won't solve any problems. But most of all, I pray that love will prevail after tragedy.
