HERO - VICTORIA SOTO

This was posted on my Facebook, worth repeating



This is Victoria Soto, and although I didn't know her, she is my hero.
I don't know too much about her, but I know a lot of people who do know her and she's amazing. 
Victoria was a Stratford high graduate and only 27. 
She was killed on 12/14/2012 after she hid her first graders in closets and cabinets 
and told the shooter they were in the gym. 
He killed her and not one of her children were harmed. 
I have never been more proud to be from Stratford or to be a teacher. 
God bless Victoria, her family and friends, and all of those who were involved today in anyway. 
Victoria is a true hero.
