The Denk Tank: Pike River Mine: Late October, 2005. The remaining students vacated Rockwell and left the halls an eerie, desolate place. All but a handful of permanent ...
Mr. Denk's blog today was a great read. You can read it for yourself, but basically it was about an experience he had with some friends and how he since lost one of those friends. It's the kind of tragedy you hear about on the news but it doesn't strike you all those affected by what happens. There were 29 people killed in the Pike river Mine disaster but there were hundreds of lives affected. Not just family members and loved ones, but friends of friends and friends that you might not see every day but that you know are there. This inspired to really consider studying abroad and to live life to it's fullest. Life is too short to miss out on something like that. It also has made me realize how amazing friends are. Stay close to your friends, don't let them slip away, because the day they are actually gone is the day you will regret it the most.
Live life and love.
