Soon, high school seniors will launch into a new life. For many seniors, that life is is called "college," known as a place to accomplish many dreams. However, this may not be the case anymore. The reality is college students pay thousands of dollars to learn and have a great experience, but not feel safe. Unfortunately, students who have career goals, always have a smile on their face, helped many people, and impacted someone's life end up being a victim of sexual assaults, robbery, homicide and such acts. We really can't say the problem is in gun control laws because a good portion of victims aren't always taken by gun violence. The senior’s parents of where they would send off their children, they would probably say to a safe school (a school that doesn't have crime history).

But as for the current students, let’s imagine how safe each one of us would feel if we had a bodyguard on normal school day.

In classrooms, there would be an empty seat behind each student because that’s where the bodyguard would sit. Of course if the professor would pass papers, the bodyguards would have to scan it before it gets to the student.

When you pass by the quad from one class to another and you run by your friends, your bodyguard will check their background history before you can high five them.

When you eat lunch with your friends and your bodyguard are sitting behind you, you whisper whenever you talk about your crush and share a secret.

And when it is time to sleep, your bodyguard will be running around the room checking every window and door every minute to make sure no one is there.

After what happened with the freshman student at the University of Texas in Austin, we all can admit that we [students] are becoming more careful. Our parents back home watch the news and call us every night and then to make sure we are safe, and we just nod our heads and pretend we are not scared leaving our 9 p.m. class every Monday and Wednesday.

But the important question, how can we stop these awful acts from happening? How can we limit crime? Is having bodyguard (for instance) could be the only solution? And if we continue to live our life like there's nothing wrong, what will be our future?

Remember for any action that we take as a community, it could either enforce or hinder the crime in the cities. Be wise and united!
