Chinaya Mason, a recent high school graduate in Knoxville, Tennesse wishes people saw her school and community the way she does. Tragically, there have been five school shootings at the high school she attends since January of this year. The most recent shooting occurred in April, while she was on campus. Chinaya hopes to speak with the Secretary about school safety.
