You have a sense of humor which is really refreshing in a professor. When I read your comments on your personal experience with Columbine, I found myself reading your words and forgot to take a breath. Your words reminded me of the accounts of holocaust survivors, or the dialogue they started recording of 911 survivors and the victims' families. It was raw and it impressed me deeply. I can see that it was life changing for you. I read the comment made that you don't have "to teach Columbine". I think you bring your own emotion and experiences to teaching and Columbine is part of yours. It makes you a better teacher, it makes you human.

I read the comment made that you don’t have “to teach Columbine”. I think you bring your own emotion and experiences to teaching and Columbine is part of yours. It makes you a better teacher, it makes you human.
