Mrs Smith

I would like to talk to you about a teacher I have. I learned a lot about her. First off her name is Lindsey Smith. She is a English teacher at Roosevelt high school. She is married with three kids, her wifes name is Jenny and her kids names are Abrahm & Jude they are twins and then her youngests name is Rowen. She has been married to her wife for 4 and a half years now.

I learned that if she could go back and change anything about her present life she wouldn't she feels blessed with the life that she has. She is happy with her family and her kids have made her a better person because she feels as if she needs to set an example for her kids. shes learned that being married is about being a team player and you have to think about things beyond yourself.

She said "It's great, you know... life is more consistent when you're in a marriage."  When she was talking about her kids she was able to truthfully say "It's crazy... shit crazy... ALL the time, it's like the best part of my life but its also just crazy." When i asked her when she decided she wanted kids she said "I've always known that and it just kinda seemed like the right time."

So in the end I learned that Mrs Smith is happy with her life she loves her family, and her work, and she wouldn't change a thing.

The sandy hook elementary school shooting was a tragedy killing 27 people, 20 children and 7 adults including himself. I remember from when this happened a teacher hid all of her students in the closet in her room with no room for her, giving her life to save all of theres when the shooter (Adam Lanza) came in and shot her. The shooting prompted debate on gun control to keep things like this to happen again, including ideas for making the background check system world wide, also banning the sale and manufactory of many types of semi automatic guns with more than ten rounds of ammunition.

Before the event:
Before he went to the school it is believed that Adam Lanza (the shooter) grabbed 3guns and shot his mother (Nancy Lanza). Then he went to the elementary school wearing black fatigues and a military vest (according to police officials). Classes were going on at the school at the time around 700 students were there.

The event:
20 students ages 6 and 7 were killed, 6 teachers were killed, Nancy Lanza was shot by her son Adam Lanza and Adam Lanza committed suicide.

What the media did wrong:
Rumors that Nancy Lanza was a kindergarten teacher or teachers aide at the school (she was not).

It is said that the schools principle recognized him and buzzed him in, but really he shot his way in through the security.

They said that there was a possible second gunman in custody... there was no second gunman
