This week at McLoughlin...
This week has been a very doleful week. There has been two major shootings in the news around the country. One in Portland at a mall. The other in Newtown Connecticut. A very harrowing one in Connecticut, 20 children die and 6 teacher and the mother and shooter dead. A very surfeit of darkness in the world these last year.
As the last week of school comes and then we head on into the new year we find that no student and no teacher is completely safe from malice to others. I feel unhappy with the gun laws and think that there needs to be more restrictions on gun laws. They should not let individuals get that kind of gun power legally.
I do not know what to expect with the last week coming and the questions that are going to come from youthful curiosity. I will try my best to offer the message that president alluding too tonight in his speech.
"Kindness can do no wrong" Barack Obama
Continue to love and be kind to others. Always try to love each other and never forget that our earthly pursuits will all fall short and one day we will not be on this Earth. We hope to do as much encouragment and spread as much love we can in our short existences.
I end tonight to say that we as teachers make the biggest impact and if all else fails, teach students to be kind and love one another in a caring and sensitive way.
