What Happens When Students Go to School?
“If I don’t make it, I love you, and I appreciated everything you did for me.” In the moments that she thought would be her last, high school freshman Sarah Crescitelli texted these words to her parents. Given the severity of her tone, not to mention the dangerous implications behind the words she sent, you’re probably wondering where Sarah was, and how a young high schooler found themselves in a situation so grave. On February 14, 2018, Sarah Crescitelli woke up, and went to school. She went to school, and instead of learning, she spent the day hiding and crying in a storage closet. She spent the day listening to gunshots in the halls, haunted by the thought that any number of those bullets could have hit her best friends. She spent the day praying that she would have the chance to see another, all because a deranged man had access to a gun. She spent the day in pure terror, all because our politicians give more value to guns as opposed to the young, bright minds of America. Gun control has plagued America for far too long, and it is time that change is no longer just discussed among our politicians, but we bring to the world the change that we want to see.
