On Saturday, March 24, I attended the March For Our Lives event in Manhattan in support of those students and teachers who lost their lives in the school shooting in Florida.
As a high school student, I am not a particularly political person and the idea of such rallies usually scared me. However, this cause moved me and I felt very emotionally attached to these students and teachers.
Since these students were my age and these teachers were like the ones around me everyday, I felt connected to them and felt compelled to attend the event in order to fight for a cause I strongly believed in.
