It's like a mouse trying to take down an elephant... But as the French saying says "it takes all the little creeks to make a river". When I heard about the shooting, I didn't cry (not that I wasn't sad, but as you worte, I wasn't shocked), but when I hear those young people speak, it brings tears to my eyes, tears of hope. I'm a teacher and I always have hope in youth.Magali@TheLittleWhiteHousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787605249681670341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165759327413478117.post-36548731997426602712018-02-28T21:51:06.900-05:002018-02-28T21:51:06.900-05:00Thank you so much for your speaking out.

The entire country grieves together every time there is a mass shooting, whether in a school, shopping mall, movie theater, church, etc. It could be anyone's child or any one of us going through the normal course of our day. The MSD students, so articulate, mature, smart and determined sum it up very well ... grieving, prayers and thoughts are not going to do it; it is time for action. Those kids have started a movement. It's about time the adults do the responsible thing and speak through the power of the vote.

I am sure it is sobering to walk through all the tributes. I am still affected by my trip to the 911 Museum in NYC.

The only thing more tragic than this, will be if no changes happen. I can't wrap my brain around that.

It's like seeing your best friend headed straight for a horrific train wreck. I just want to call out 'look out!' Your country is too GOOD for what is happening. Bless those students who are holding those in positions of responsibility to account. They know exactly what is at stake.Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2165759327413478117.post-19903867337696902242018-02-27T00:05:42.818-05:002018-02-27T00:05:42.818-05:00Ahh, my friend.
