First-grade survivors of Sandy Hook speak with 'GMA''s George Stephanopoulos.

Good Morning America" co-anchor George Stephanopoulos speaks with six survivors of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School as they prepare to graduate from high school.Henry Terifay was 7 years old when he fled his classroom after hearing gunshots.

Emma Ehrens, now 17, was 6 years old and reading a book with her classmates when the shooter, a 20-year-old who went onto kill himself, entered her classroom. "Once we finally got out of the school, I remember we were walking to the firehouse and my mom ran up to me crying, and I didn't know what happened at the time," he said. "I didn't understand the gravity of the whole thing, but I knew if my mom was crying, my mom was so, so scared that, you know, something horrible had happened. I'd never seen her like that before and I never have since. I hope I never do.

"I've basically known that I wanted to be a therapist since I was eight, which was really only a year after the shooting," Seaver said. "I have been in and out of therapy almost my whole life, especially after the shooting, and it's really just helped me cope and helped me learn about myself, so I want to try and pay that forward and help people who have gone through gun violence, or even people who haven't, who are just struggling in their daily life.

Lilly Wasilnak, who was 6 at the time of the shooting, said the increase in school shootings since Sandy Hook make her worried for the safety of her own future kids.
