- Description
- The image shows an open notebook lying on a dark surface. The notebook has a red cover, with visible red binding on the right side. The pages are lined, and the notebook is open to two pages filled with handwriting. The left page appears to have faint, mirrored writing, as if it has bled through from the other side or is written with a very light hand. The right page has clearly visible, neat handwriting in black ink, filling the page from top to bottom with lines about personal reflections on violence and societal issues.

- Transcription
- "In those 3 years, I submerged myself in the world of grieving families, statistics about gun violence and systemic socio-economic factors that play into violence. The extent of the lessons were brought home to me about the colossal waste that violence produces."
