## Transcript

And the young colleague in the back? I was surprised that I was called on, because Sarah Huckabee Sanders was addressing most of the journalists by their first name, and I was new to the press briefing room. In my school, we recently had a lock- down drill. One thing that affects my and other students mental health is the worry of > About the fact that we, or our friends, could get shot at school. Specifically, can you tell me what the administration has done and will do to prevent these senseless tragedies? I think that as a kid, and certainly as a parent, there is nothing that could be more terrifying for a kid to go to school and not feel safe.

So, I'm sorry that you feel that way. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is a human being. She has Kids, and the thought of her kids being away, where they could get shot, would be enough to make any parent emotional. I believe that the kids are the ones who are in danger at school and it means more when a kid Ask the question the one who is in danger rather than an adult who's spectating the problem. To be a good reporter, you need to really put your past preconceptions aside and report on what's happening, not what you already think. [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
