Dear Taylor,

I know you may never see this but my good friend Drew Pescaro (and childhood best friend of my significant other) was one of those shot by the monster at UNCC. He was taken to the ICU immediately and had emergency surgery to remove the bullets that entered his back. Hes currently recovering there and has a long road ahead of him. We started a gofundme for his family for all medical expenses with the hashtag #DrewStrong & we’re so close to accomplishing our goal. Is there any way you can help out???? He’s a HUGE fan of yours as well & I love you so so much & I wish I was never writing this and we could live in a world without this disgusting violence. Hopefully you see this & at least send good vibes/prayers his way. I loved you since 2006 and I hope you see this💗 @taylorswift @taylornation https://www.gofundme.com/f/drew-pescaro-family

I graduated today! With a B.A. in Theatre! Four years of literal blood, sweat, and tears!

Of all places, people should feel safe at school. Getting an education should not make you fear for your life. The worst part is thinking: that could’ve been any college campus... that could’ve been me. My heart is broken and I’m sending all my love to those affected.

We must fight for change if for nothing but to honor those we have lost.

I have never known anything like I know a classroom, or a white board, or the colorful doorways leading into each one of my favorite classes. I’ve spent more time in a classroom than I can remember: as a student, an intern, a substitute teacher, a paraprofessional, and a future educator. School became my home, a place where my sisters couldn’t harrass me or my mom couldn’t comment on my looks. It became a place where I felt important, and a place where I realized I wanted to make others feel important, special, and powerful.

I used to walk the halls of each school I entered with ease, knowing each member of this community was here for the same reason: to better themselves and others. Schools are full of wonder and excitement, as knowledge is the only superpower humans obtain (that we know of). School is a place to feel safe, to express ourselves to walk the halls and feel the knowledge of others surging around ya.

No longer can I walk those halls with the same comfort I had before April 30, 2019. I now tremble when I step foot in a classroom, wondering when it will happen again, feeling like it will happen again. I’m no longer happy and excited as I used to be when I entered each school, now I am filled with sadness and anger.

I’m angry at the boy who took this happiness from me, the boy who will never realize the unspeakable doom he has placed on my once happy space. I am saddened at the future he has destroyed for me and not only me but the potential I had to make others feel good about themselves. The greatness I was going to instill in my students.

I am angry at you and I am not sure I will ever be the same because of what you did.

There was JUST a shooting at UNC-Charlotte, in my home state about and hour and a half from where I live. I have friends who go there, and friends who live in Charlotte. I spoke on the phone with an grad school admissions counselor there THIS MORNING.

Don’t you dare tell me guns don’t kill people or teachers should be armed or they’re trying to take our freedom or any of that bullshit.

Thankfully, my friends are safe. But one of my friends was literally in the building right near where it happened. She could have been KILLED. And 2 people were killed, 2 have life threatening injuries and 2 have non-life threatening injuries. And that doesn’t take into account the trauma.

Also please don’t say “well at least it was only 2 dead”

That’s 2 too many. Fuck guns and fuck the NRA, and Fucking Get Your Shit Together America.

I am a student at UNCC. I am still at a loss for words for what happened yesterday. My heart hurts for my fellow classmates and their families. If anyone in the Charlotte area would like to come to the vigil it’s today (May 1st) at 6pm at the SAC on the UNCC campus.
