Virginia Tech Massacre - April 16, 2007
I know this has nothing to do with exercise and whatnot, but I ask all of you to pray for our "family" at Virginia Tech and send condolences to the families who lost either a child or parent. Their lives were cut to short and had bright futures ahead of them. I was about to head to class at West Virginia University when I first heard of this incident and couldn’t believe it, and i still can’t.
I have a sister who is a senior at Tech and thank god she is safe. I also have around 50 friends currently attending and I’m glad to say all of them are okay. Unfortunately, 32 innocent lives were taken from the world before the gunman, a senior english major at Tech, turned the gun on himself. One girl who graduated a year ahead of me and from the same high school, Leslie Sherman, was unfortunately one of the 32 innocent lives that were lost.
Just send your prayers to all of the victims and everyone at VT and just thank god you are still alive today.

That’s right; sometimes we must think about other stuff than working out and eating right too. Thanks for bringing this up in your blog entry!
