I was in a funk last week. The funk was like when you see something awful and the picture just stays with you. Like seeing your first dead dog or violence at home. What I saw was that I will not reach a lot of my kids. The majority may end up in prison, poverty, or at least not where they hoped they would be.

I'm going to go off.

There was this 15 year old named Nate Anderson. Nate Anderson was a sophomore with a lot of friends. He was in honors classes and played football. Nate was at his friends house playing video games last weekend, and decided to walk home. Apparently, some young Gs rolled up behind Nate and shot him in the back of the head. My freshmen told me they shot Nate on accident. They thought he was somebody else.

Not a fucking word in the Herald or on any media I can find. I don't want to sensationalize it but people need to know when needless violence happens.
