I remember everything – like watching my school burn down. These are very personal things that I don’t think people can understand. Like, going to school in the morning and not knowing how you’re going to come back and witness the shooting. When you’re an 8-year-old kid and you’re standing on the street and your parents and your siblings are on the other side and a gun is being fired in the middle… you understand that you’ve seen a lot of things in your life. “
