Devastating news came from Virginia Tech College. It was a typical day like no other, everything was the same but this time something was different. A senior by the name of Cho Seung-Hui who attended Virginia University started a massacre. Some witnesses say because of his girlfriend but the truth of the matter was that he had problems within himself that made him react this way on that particular day.
Cho Seung-Hui killed 32 people and injured at least 29 other students and teachers. Cho was the 33rd person after he shot himself in the head. Everyone says he was a smart kid. The ones you least expect can be plotting your death right in front of you and you don’t even know it.
A lot of students feel that it is okay to pick on the less fortunate or the ones who are slow but you never know what they have or are going through. When you get on a person’s bad side you never know what they are capable of until you become the victim. This entire madness just tie into reality, danger is everywhere and you have to be careful of what you say and do to people because you never know what they have in store for you.
Reality check: How do you feel as a senior going off to college, would this change your judgments of going to college, or would it make you more aware of the various things that could happen in college?
What do you think would have prevented Cho Seung-Hui from shooting his fellow peers and professors? (i.e.) friends, change of mind set, psychologist, etc.

This was a trerrible insident that scared me as well as alot people going to college.
First of all I would like to start off by saying that the incident that happened at Virginia Tech was by far the most shocking, horrific incident that I ever thought could happen on a college campus. I mean too many innocent people lost their lives as a result of this incident. Despite the incident that took place, I dont think that there was anything anyone could to to prevent it. Cho Seung Hui's mind was made up, and he was going to carry out this massacre no matter what.It's sad that the situation had to come to this, but all we can do now is pray that things will get better, and that another incident like this will never happen again.
