One Thing Surprising

One thing surprising this week was that I didn't realize how well children can pull together in times of crisis. Our school had a student die from an accidental gunshot wound. The kids in my school have really shown how much they care for eachother by grieving together, sharing stories together, and great memories about him. Not only are the kids at my school doing this, but they are also communicating and participating in activities with the kids at Hardaway High also. I have been surprised at how bad some children take this situation in comparison to others. These kind of situations also opened up my eyes because I now hope I treat each student great each day no matter how much they may get on your nerves because you never know what tomorrow may bring. This student was the second student of mine to pass in two years. One thing that has been bothering me is that the student that was murdered last year didn't get nowhere near the recognition. It kind of saddens me to know this. Im not sure why people didn't really make a big deal about it and have made a huge deal about it this year?! I am surprised at my mixed emotions I guess. What do ya'll think?
