Survivor Stories: "Thoughts from my Desk, 1"

Hello, readers! I hope this post finds you well. No matter who or where you are, I hope that you have discovered that my website has brought you some sense of peace or comfort. If not, I hope you stay with Student Survivor Stories. Sometimes the journey is long, but your peace and recovery is always worth it.

Recently, I've been thinking of proper ways I can approach healing and awareness on this website to best benefit other victims of gun violence. Although I know there's only so much I can do, I still feel that any change I try to make is worthwhile, no matter how small.

So, here I am. This post begins the first of my new series entitled "Thoughts from my Desk." I intend to write and publish several excerpts to this page. In these excerpts, I hope to dive in and explain my personal journey with gun violence, the obstacles that came with it, and the steps I am taking today to prevail and make the most of my life. As fellow survivors would know, you never truly understand the weight of your life until it is almost taken.

I hope you join me on this journey and can possibly gain some inspiration from my story.
