Caitlin Hammaren
By Jacquelyn Whalen
As a junior, life was sweet. I had everything I wanted.
Friends, family, and the coolest school ever...
Until that shooter walked in and shot me.
I guess he didn’t want me in this world,
Or maybe it was just my turn.
I'm not sure, but I do know
That when I was struck with that bullet,
I was instantly gone.
Everything I had worked for...
I was only a year from graduating from college,
And he ruined it for me... all that I had done
For my school honor society, just everything.
I don’t have anything left except for this,
The knowledge that my teachers left me with,
And I will remember it for the rest of time.
