Sandy Hook essay
The Sandy Hook shooting is a very sad event that happened on December 14, 2012. I
vaguely remember my mom telling me in the car on the way home from school and telling me
that there had been a shooting and tons of little kids got killed. I automatically felt so badly and
this feeling of sadness swept over me. I had so many questions. I wondered who would be
so sick to go to a school and shoot first graders. I wish I could do something, but it wasn't
possible. I can only imagine how the parents of the children would have felt. Not to mention the
parents never being able to see your little son or daughter ever again would be awful. I
wonder how the kids were feeling before they got shot. I bet they were just really scared and
hadn't been exposed to anything horrible before. The next day at school we wore something
white or green for the schools colors to show the support we give for them. This event will
always live in my memory and I think it will also in most peoples especially those whose
families were deeply affected my it. In conclusion, I can't say that my life style was affected by
this but it is a very sad story and a lot of things have changed since the incident. There are
more security related things around the world including our campus. We do lockdown drills
more often since the event. I do feel safe at school but I always get a little but scared durning
the drills because I wouldn't want to ever go through something like Sandy Hook.
