    I'm 21 and was shot 5 times in June 2023. One of the bullets hit my spine (T5/T6) and bruised my spinal cord, leaving me paralyzed from the chest down. Recently, I have regained some sensation and I can feel pressure below my level of injury. Sean and Ryan (oddly enough, my two best friends share the same names) are very inspirational. I will believe in myself and I will walk again. I will not give up!

    Wow imagine graduation after experiencing columbine in Freshmen year. All the thoughts... You hear everyone clapping and cheering, knowing that most, if not all the students cheering went through what you went through. And to be able to go up there and walk to receive your diploma, it must be emotional as hell. All the thoughts anyone can think of is the columbine shooting 3.5 years ago. 3.5 years after the tragic event, you get up there walking with a stick and all everyone thinks is, :Columbine still affects many of us to this day."

      wouldn’t only his grade (which were graduating that day) have witnessed it? all other grades below weren’t there then if he was a freshman at the shooting
