I did very little subbing during the school year 2008 - 2009, and most of that from the beginning of September until the end of October. I went off on my annual trip to Africa (Ivory Coast), came home, wortked a day, and then had an attack of kidney stones that infected my kidneys and almost killed me. I was in intensive care for about a week. I had six operations or "procedures" b etween that time and the end of the school year in early June.
I started subbing again this school year. Several important things have happened since then.
Two or three weeks ago, a young lady who was a senior was walking on a street with a girlfriend and a boyfriend when a car came circling the block three times, then stopped by them and fired 20 shots. The girl who was a student at our school was hit at least ten times, the boy once or twice. The girl was killed right there opn the street.
I did not know here, but it is obvious from her photos that she was a nice, pleasant, well-brought up young lady. The school has been in mourning ever since then, with photos of her and written tributes from her friends posted with them, right at the front door of the school.
We have 2,000 students at our school. To a certain percentage every year, something terrible happens.
We never know what is just around the corner ahead of us, or who it will affect.
