This is especially true for students. I believe that additional counselors are another important piece in helping prevent similar tragedies from happening in the future. When I was in the classroom I was afraid. I believe I used my fear in a positive way to help me deal with the situation. We cannot let fear prevent us from making the right choices.
Fear can be an obstacle or a motivation.
Fear can paralyze us or it can be used in a positive manner to help us overcome adversity. I believe that teachers are heroes every time they walk into a classroom and try to better their students' lives. Teachers and principals deserve all the respect and gratitude that we can give them. My heroes are my parents, teachers and, coaches. Bob Mason, my wrestling coach, my teacher, and my friend, is certainly one of my heroes.
