Virginia Tech Commemorates 2007 Shootings
Three Years After Massacre Claimed 32 Lives, Survivors Remember Tragedy in Differing Ways
(CBS/AP) Heidi Miller worked hard to ensure that her time at Virginia Tech would be defined by her academic achievements and experiences, not by the massacre during her freshman year that claimed 32 lives and left her wounded in 2007.
After a long summer of physical rehabilitation back home in Harrisonburg, Miller returned to Tech the next semester.
She is preparing to graduate next month with a 3.7 grade-point average, a double major in international studies and geography, and a minor in French.
She will remember many of the highlights, such as her trips to Europe and New Zealand.
