Twelve years ago, the lives of students in the first-grade classrooms of Sandy Hook Elementary School were forever changed when a gunman opened fire, killing 20 of their classmates and six of their teachers and administrators.

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. Ella Seaver, who was 7 at the time of the shooting, said that even as she prepares to graduate high school and begin a new chapter, it remains hard to talk about what happened in her first-grade classroom all those years ago.

"I really thought Sandy Hook would, you know, shock people and wake everybody up," said Terifay, adding that he is tired of hearing "I'm sorry" from people without any action. "But it just keeps happening over and over and over again." "As unfortunate as it is, it's going to happen to someone else, and it's going to keep happening to someone else until people like us have to make the change," said Wasilnak, now 17. "We worry about one day when we'll have kids, and I don't want to send my kids to school in the way our world is."
