Today's Violence in Our University

I still remember the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007. Cho Sung-Hui killed 32 people and committed suicide in his university. One of the video I watched in the youtube site recorded the shots of Cho’s bullet. It was recorded by someone who was at outside of the building with his camcorder. While I was watching, I could not imagine such dreadful situation was happened in the university. He was from South Korea, like me, but end up his life by making a dirtiest history in United States. So during my freshman semesters in Cameron University, I hoped this kind of violence should not happen again in any university. Two years and five months later, another crime has occurred in university. Last week Monday, I read an article about Annie Le in the New Your Times website. A graduate researcher, twenty four years old, Ms Le’s dead body was found at behind the basement wall in Amistad building, Yale University. I was really sad when I read about the fact that she planned to get marry in that week. She was a person who had a dream for her future life and that’s why she attended that university. But it is over now. On September 18, I found and read another article about Ms. Le’s death. The topic was about a murderer of Ms. Le. The authorities charged Yale University animal technician, Raymond Clark III, with murdering Annie Le. According to the article, he was arrested after 8A.M. on last Thursday in room 214 of the super 8 motel in Cromwell, Connecticut. I could not find any sources of the reasons why a technician murdered a researcher. I am pretty sure that each of these two people worked hard to achieve those competitive jobs. But today they end up their life miserably in their university. Two years ago, I hoped not to happen it again but it did. I am a junior in Cameron University now. I think university is where I can develop myself. But today, university is becoming one of the fields with serious violence. I still do not understand why these people decided such crimes in the university. In 2009 I hope no one make a stupidest decision again in any university.

    This is a great job! I can see you have paid special attention to the grammatical errors I pointed out before.
