Today, January 20th, 2012, a tragedy happened to Morse High School. This guy, Hopeton Bennett, had passed away. Unfortunately, he was shot. News spread around the school quickly. Now I didn’t really know Hope. He was in my Spanish class last year, 1st period. Going off of what people have told me about him, his story, and his background, I could tell he was a very sweet, funny, and humble guy. I’m sure many Morse Tigers can tell you all about him, and based off of how many people were affected by his loss today, he will be dearly missed. It’s tragic how fast life can just… be gone. Hope’s loss gives us all who remain lots of things to think about. Lots of appreciation to be doing. We now know that life is very unpredictable. Cherish your life and everyone else’s around you. You never know when they’ll leave. Like Hopeton. Rest in Peace, dear brother. We will not forget you and will keep you in our hearts forever. You’re in a better place now, with God by your side. <3
UGH, this is so hard to believe. I just can’t believe it. Hopeton, from the day I met you, you’ve always been such a kind and humble guy. This tragedy will affect a lot of people but just know you will be in my prayers tonight and the night after and the night after and so on. Rest in peace Hope. You were so young and I know you would’ve went far in life ..
But this is just a reminder that life is short and we never know when our time will hit. So live your lives to the fullest guys and cherish every moment. I know you’re in a better place now Hopeton and God bless always.
