I drove to Highland High School on April 5th. I asked Mrs vezmar if I could interview her but unfortunately she said she was too busy for a in person interview but if I emailed them to her she would be happy to help. So on April 10th I emailed her ten questions and on April 11th Mrs. Vezmar responded to them and sent them back to me.

For the last few days‚ I have been asking my friends what they would do if they had one month to live and their responses were all very similar in the way that they all said they would travel to some place they have always wanted to visit and do things like go on a cruise or go skydiving.

University of Texas experienced a mass shooting when a student shot 45 people‚ killing 14 of them‚ from the clock tower (Gubler).

In the modern age of American society‚ schools are taking on this rising idea of having students wear school uniforms instead of regular clothes. Why should students sit miserably at their desks‚ listen to the dull sound of teachers‚ do school work‚ and on top of all that have to wear uncomfortable school uniforms?
