ONCE UPON A TIME, there was a young man named Ronald.

Ronald was a very quiet young man who ALWAYS helped where he could. 

In school, he sat in middle of the classroom and NEVER caused ANY trouble.

The clothes that Ronald wore were plain and unremarkable.

He was polite and  ALWAYS turned  his work in on time.

When the teacher needed someone to pass out or collect papers, Ronald would be the one to do it.

When the teacher needed someone to collect garbage after lunch, Ronald would help by taking the garbage can around to each student.

When the teacher needed someone to take a message to or bring items from the office, Ronald was the student that could be trusted to go and come back in a timely manner.

Ronald was a very quiet young man who ALWAYS helped where he could.

In church, he sat in between his parents and listened attentively to the Pastor as the message taught about the importance of being one who helped.

The clothes that Ronald wore were plain and unremarkable.

After church, when the Ushers needed someone to help collect the bulletins laying about the church pews, Ronald would help the ushers collect them.

Ronald enjoyed helping the elderly people by holding the door for them when they entered and exited the church building.

Ronald was a very quiet young man who ALWAYS helped where he could.

At home, he helped his mother wash the dishes and took out the trash without being told.

When  his father needed a hand with the lawn, Ronald was ALWAYS there to give one.

At bedtime, he willingly went to his room without any groans or complaints.

Once upon a time, there was a young man named Ronald.

Ronald was a very quiet young man whose clothes were plain and unremarkable.  He ALWAYS helped where he could.

Ronald went to school one day and never came home.

He was shot by a classmate who was angry with the world.

 

We MUST do something about gun control.  You can make a difference right where you are.  Start in your neighborhood.  PLEASE get involved?  These shootings have to stop!
