Adults cant even agree on the subject. So the fact that an 18 year old and her friends can bring that much attention to the topic is amazing. Part of my admiration for her is also the fact that she doesn't play the victim card. Instead she is enraged that lawmakers haven't done anything to stop this violence.]]> 2019-06-18 19:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/annnel061/ok3c5ahofqpc/wish/368175110 annnel061 https://padlet.com/annnel061/ok3c5ahofqpc/wish/368175959 Its nice to see people that are only a few years older than me taking control of a situation as big a gun control. I'm from Miami Gardens, a city so immune to gun violence that its nickname is "Murder Gardens". So i've seen gun violence firsthand and never thought i can do anything about it because i'm young. But Emma makes people feel that they can do anything. Like "if she can do it, i can do it."]]> 2019-06-18 19:08:48 UTC https://padlet.com/annnel061/ok3c5ahofqpc/wish/368175959 annnel061 https://padlet.com/annnel061/ok3c5ahofqpc/wish/368176824 Emma Gonzalez and her story allow all types of people to aspire to change the world in a good way. Black, white, gay, straight,woman,man,young,old etc. You can make your mark on the world. And its all about what motivates you or who inspires you.]]> 2019-06-18 19:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/annnel061/ok3c5ahofqpc/wish/368176824 annnel061 https://padlet.com/annnel061/ok3c5ahofqpc/wish/368178767 Even though Emma is working for an excellent cause people have still hated on her. Making fun of her body, hair, sexuality , and even the way she cried on stage. A former Republican senator called her a "skinhead", and another senator called her out on the fact that she was wearing a Cuban flag patch on her jacket. Claiming she was not really Cuban and taking shots at her family for fleeing the country during a time of dictatorship. ]]> 2019-06-18 19:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/annnel061/ok3c5ahofqpc/wish/368178767
