Don’t Let My Classmates’ Deaths Be in Vain
Now every time I look up “Marjory Stoneman Douglas” on the internet, the top suggestion is “shooting.”
My friends, classmates and teachers are dead.
The next thing I knew I heard people running and shouting, and my teacher yelling at us to get back in the class.
My phone flooded with messages from friends and family, from other states and other countries, asking if I was O. K.
The world knew what was happening even before we did.
Students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., hid in closets as a gunman fired a semiautomatic weapon into their classrooms.
My parents chose Parkland to settle in because of Marjory Stoneman Douglas’s stellar reputation,
and because we thought that it was a safe place to live.
