The professors, the student body, and the locals were all affected. People who don’t even attend Claflin University knew about the accident and felt bad for us and their families. Here at Claflin University, we are a family, so this hit us hard and it changed us as a family. We came together more in the time of need and were there for each other. Till this day, some people are still trying to get over it and mourn. This year, I never thought I would experience something like this. I never really knew my classmates like that, but this tragedy still hits home for me. All I can do and the Claflin family can do as a whole is pray for better days and that Gernardo return to us
