While catching up on my news reading, the news of a student gunmen going berserk in a Christian college in Oakland, California caught my eye and opened my heart to a realization that, there is something wrong.

"Investigators have said Goh was angry about being teased for his poor English at the school, which is focused on serving Korean immigrants but is attended by students from around the world. Victims of Monday's shootings came from a number of countries, including Korea, Nepal, Nigeria and the Philippines." (Philippine Star)

The suspect was named One Goh, a Korean whose aim was nothing more than to serve his people, just like any other student gaining an education abroad. Another source said " Goh had dropped out of the nursing program at the tiny private school around November and became angry when she told him the school could not refund all his tuition money." And yes, you read right, one of the victims was a Katleen Ping who was 24 who had a 4 year old son left while her husband is here in the nation, a Filipino.


How is it that in a nation that promises you dreams and endless chances, numerous cases of killings in schools happen? Schools are supposed to be one of the most secured places in any nation because these act as a factory for the youth's dreams and start changing the world. I'm not angry, but rather sad that 7 students whose lives were wasted could've been a huge asset to everyone. Something's wrong with the system, not domestically, but internationally. This may seem to be an issue for the US to handle, but I still think the world should take notice of this happening to avoid it from happening again; because a student from one country killing students from other countries is almost the same as a nation going to war.
