Tragedy at Work today

Some thing horrible happened at work (Orem Jr. High) today. One of our students was hit by a car this morning by another one of our students that was driving when she shouldn't have been. It is said she was afraid of being late to school so she took her aunts car. It was in front of a bus stop so a group of students witnessed it. We had a lot of sorrowful, sad students this morning but by lunch time it was announced that she had died. This is a sad tragedy and I please ask everyone that reads this to pray for this little sweet girls family, and also for the family of the girl driving because she too is a victim in this story. She has no record, has never done anything wrong, always came and said hi to me with a smile. She only made a bad decision that she will have to pay for now. It is very hard to handle for me and for everyone at my school that really care for our students, so please take time to pray.

I have just been sick over this tragedy. It's strange how one bad choice can alter the entire course of your life. I hope that there can be healing for everyone involved eventually. Such things would be so very difficult to get past.

Hang in there.
