I never thought that going into the professional field of education would be considered dangerous.
As of Friday, it most definitely is.
And I, like everyone else in the nation, am rocked by what happened in a part of my beloved New England. Shattered. Distraught.
But of this, I have no doubt: In the limited teaching experiences I have, both in China and in Madison Middle this last semester, I would not hesitate to do whatever I could to protect my students. Because that is what unconditional love is; and it's a precious and invaluable lesson that I have learned throughout the last year. And those educators who died on Friday, protecting their kids? Without a doubt, one of the most incredible examples of unconditional love in the world.
May angels lead them in and may we all find comfort in the knowledge that they are safe, sound and home.
