The massacre at Virginia Tech is something that has affected us all, even if we have no relations to anyone there. When such horrific events happen, such as 9/11, it brings everyone together. While it is still not known exactly why the young man did this, the grieving process still continues for many.
Many are still having trouble accepting the aftermath of Monday’s events. On Tuesday April 17th, the day after, a convocational ceremony was held at the university remembering those lost. President George W. Bush gave a speech stating his sympathy, and that these students and professors were simply “In the wrong place at the wrong time.” The loved ones lost on April 16th at are still being remembered.
Students have set up a memorial shrine on campus for the more than 30 people who are now gone. “On this terrible day of mourning, it’s hard to imagine a time will come when life at Virginia Tech will return to normal, but such a day will come,”-George W. Bush
