Hi.
I identify with your feelings and I thought I'd share that the majority of people in the country feel the same. I can't seem to concentrate on anything and I am behind enough in my classwork that it's becoming a problem. Please try and be strong - we have to try and get back on track, or they win.
I've heard that Arabs are getting help from neighbors, offers to help if they encounter any problems, offers to let them stay at peoples' homes in case anything happens. Out of all the people I've discussed this with, only two were overwhelmingly racist and ridiculous in their ideas about people of the Muslim faith after this tragedy. Most of the people I know are committed to calling everyone in America their brother or sister, no matter who they are. I just thought I'd share that.
here's to peace.
Hugs from miles away,
Chey
