Things Happen

Life doesn't stop being unexpected when you travel. I found that out today when I was at school and heard a teacher had attempted suicide. I am and was so scared and confused. It didn't help either that I didn't know what was going on. We entered the hallways and waited in front of our classroom. Minutes later we all got texts saying a teacher had gone crazy and lit herself on fire. We all rushed out of the building and saw smoke and an ambulance. I thought it was just a joke gone wrong. Never in my life did I really think a teacher would attempt suicide. Everyone was confused and in shock. It didn't help either that I couldn't completely understand the situation. Some people were in tears. I never imagined that in my time here in France something like this would happen. To anyone. Over 100 students saw what happened and a few try to put out the fire. I have heard that the teacher was having a hard time and just snapped. She poured gas on herself in the middle of class and lit herself on fire. She screamed and started to run. Then she fell to the ground. I don't know her current condition. What makes me really think is the fact that I could have walked right passed that very moment and seen the whole thing or that I could have seen this teacher in the hallways or school area during the day and said hi, and never would have guessed that something like this would have happened.  It only goes to show you that you never know what will happen. You always have to just live life to the fullest. Every moment you get.
