Growing up, when I thought of America I thought of freedom and the pursuit of happiness. We even went to Florida when I was 7 years old. Now the thought of going to the US is terrifying and that’s sad.
I don’t know much about guns but I do know there have been 18 school shootings this year in the US and that’s absolutely horrifying. Everyone can agree that’s not right. Everyone can agree that number should be 0. Nothing will change unless changes are made to the current system.
We are grieving with Parkland. But we are not powerless. Caring for our kids is our first job. And until we can honestly say that we're doing enough to keep them safe from harm, including long overdue, common-sense gun safety laws that most Americans want, then we have to change.
