ESSAY: 'Sandy Hook’s motto is written on a small sign in my bedroom. I see these words each morning and evening, bookends to my day,' writes AyeshaDholakia. 'I am a doctor, but I am also still 19 years old, watching my world shatter.'
There were nine words etched on the door of my elementary school, a school motto that I read every morning: “Think you can, work hard, get smart, be kind.” I recalled that message a decade ago, when I was 19 years old and watching that same school — Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. — on TV, as I waited for my sister to come home. The shooter was initially rumored to be inside our high school, where my sister was, but he went to the elementary school instead.
Sandy Hook’s motto is written on a small sign in my bedroom. I see these words each morning and evening, bookends to my day, writes Ayesha Dholakia. I still feel the bottom drop out when a headline on the next shooting pops up on my phone, or when “Sandy Hook” is part of a news update.
