Last
week on Wednesday, a car was flung into a daycare after it was hit by an SUV in
Florida. The car killed a four-year-old, Lily Quintus; 13 other children were
injured, as was one adult. Robert Alex Corchado has been accused of the crime
and is currently in jail. The trial was today, but nothing has been published
on the verdict to my knowledge. Corchado fled the scene after the accident. He
allegedly has multiple drug and gang charges from past times. Lily’s
seven-year-old brother said he wants to become an engineer and build a time
machine to bring his sister back.
Stories
like this one make me especially sad because they are about young children who
will never have the chance to achieve their potential. I hope all of the
injured people are recovering without permanent repercussions. My thoughts are
with Lily’s family in this time. I thought the brother’s words were extremely
sweet. It shows how innocent and sweet children are. He may not have thought
about building a time machine before this point, but now, when he no longer has
his sister, all he wants to do is bring her back. We have a lot to learn from
children, and I hope we can become more like them in the years to come.
