Putting Sports Aside

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those that have been affected by the Virginia Tech shootings. At this point, it has been confirmed that at least 32 people have been killed. Today is a very sad day for everybody, and it is scary that anything like this would ever occur.

This is something that will be talked about for a long time. I feel so bad for the families that are going to be getting that phone call from the police. I also feel that now would be a good time to say if you have a dream make sure you stick to it and do everything in your power to make that dream come true. You truly never know when everything will end. So push yourself to limits that you never thought were possible and I hope that you have it in you to make your dreams come true.
