This week I had some horrible news. One of my former students, Jose, was killed fighting in Iraq last weekend. I was so upset to hear the sad news. I first heard from an email and then I checked his facebook page and found out he was gone. Jose was a hero and I am so sad for his family and friends. He graduated in 2007 and was 21 years old. I just recently talked to him on facebook and he was proud to serve his country.
Today I had the difficult job of doing an interview for the local TV news. It was hard to do and emotionally draining. I did the interview and I had to have the vice principal watch my 3rd period class while I answered the questions and remembered Jose. I feel so bad for his family and I hope to go to the funeral when I find out when it is.
Jose you are a hero and you died protecting your country! RIP
