Just as I was starting to feel better about everything
Today my dad got his new copy of the Virginia Tech Alumni Magazine.
It is a memorial issue.
I thought I would share the piece of Ross since...well, you guys dont really have access to the magazine, do you?
Ross Alameddine
Virginia Tech University Studies sophomore Ross Alameddine recently declared a major in English and minors in French and buisiness, fields that reflected his creativity and his computer knowledge.
He was the son of Lynette Alameddine and Dr. Abdallah Alameddine and brother of Yvonne Alameddine. From Saugus Mass, formerly of Melrose Mass, Ross was a 2005 graduate of Austin Preparatory School.
Ross enjoyed computer games and played them competitively. He beta-tested well-known games and even sold online characters. Before coming to Virginia Tech, he worked as a home-computer repair specialist.
Whether between classes or on nice days, Ross enjoyed rollerblading. He adored movies and music, played piano, and sang at Austin. Ross's fondness for language and voicing strong opinions was manifested through active participation in the French and Debate clubs at Austin.
The above qualities developed on Ross's journey through college. English instructor Brent Stevens writes, "He taled about life, his emotions, his deep insights...He put himself out there in front of 35 people, most of whom he did not know...helping us to understand what we were reading and viewing with his unique perspective...Knowing Ross Alameddine...sustains the belief that we all need so desperately right now: that there is some good in this world."
Ross always sought to make others laugh and enjoy life. "From our first few days together in class," writes English instructor Robert Canter, "I remember thinking, 'Here's a man who's going to make his children laugh. Here is a man who desereves the title 'beloved.' Here's a man who, just by being himself, makes you a better person.'"
