"I felt like someone could hear my story and my pain. Seeing how deaths are treated as a statistic and people are still going out, it feels like people don't understand the consequences of their actions. I feel like I have a platform to speak on." (UTSA Student)
"I liked being able to read the experiences my peers went through, since it let me better understand what type of things they have experienced that are different from what I have experienced." (UTSA Student)
