Reality
The second amendment states everyone has ‘ the right to keep and bear arms ’. But what if the right to bear arms leads to the death of your friends , family and classmates ? But what if it makes you fear leaving your house ? Or going to school ? But these aren ’ t what ifs anymore They are , reality Your reality My reality Our , reality .
But doing active shooter drills shouldn ’ t have to be Our reality
21 . That ’ s how many of my classmates were killed That ’ s my reality Makenna , Layla , Maranda , Nevaeh , Jose , Xavier , Tess , Rojelio , Ellie , Eliahna , Annabell , Jackie , Uziyah , Jayce , Maite , Jailah , Amerie , Lexi , Alithia . My friends that have been stripped of their futures My friends that could only be identified by items of clothing and their DNA No one gets to talk to them again How is that fair ?
Mrs Garcia and Mrs Mireles They are - Were . My teachers They have - Had .
