Campus Safe or Unsafe?

According to the article, “A Promising Life, Ended in a Lab Basement” by James Barron in New York Times, a Yale student was murdered and stuffed in a wall in the science part of the Yale building. This murder has scared everyone on Yale campus and everyone around the United States.

Twenty four year old Annie Le was valedictorian of her high school class. She was studying in the Science department and was apparently murdered and stuffed in a wall near the science classrooms.
Murder always scares me and I'm sure that it scares everyone else too. Even if the murder took place at Yale, I still believe we as students should be careful about who we meet and see. How did she die? Well nobody knows yet but they think that the death was no accident. So apparently it was a murder. The murderer hasn't been found yet but the police are working on it. This made me think the question “Is our campus safe?” Hopefully it is, and I do believe it is. However, I would still be careful around campus even if the campus seems safe.

Everywhere around the world, murders take place. This one murder at Yale just shows how violent humans are, how a life can change in an instant, and how anywhere and everywhere you go isn’t always safe, especially in big cities such as Denver. How can we prevent ourselves from becoming a victim? One way is to always be carful about who you hang out with, who you meet, and who you see. Any stranger you see could be a murderer or a kidnapper, so always watch your back. If you feel like you are being watched, then go hang out with your friends or call your parents. Those few ways of being careful about whom you see and meet could save your life. This article has changed the way I think of the world around us. Now I know that the world is a very dangerous place and that I should always be carful.
