“I heard this tremendous sound, like a hurricane. It was so overwhelming, I knew something was coming, but didn’t know what.<\/p>\n
Then this mass of black came crashing through the window, hurling me from the front of the classroom to the back. <\/p>\n
I woke up to find the classroom was no longer the classroom. The roof had caved in on us, and we were completely buried. <\/p>\n
I couldn’t see my legs, I thought they had gone. <\/p>\n
A pupil in front of me was trapped, and he had blood trickling down his head. Another one was trying to get through the roof to get help. <\/p>\n
My head was cut open, and I couldn’t move my hand as it was stuck in the cracked wall.<\/p>\n
I pinched the hand of a child near me to see if it would move. It didn’t. <\/p>\n
Then I heard someone shout ‘I’m going to smash the window’ and saw my grandfather. <\/p>\n
I started to cry and will never forget the look in his eyes knowing I was alive.<\/p>\n
I’d broken my femur, my leg was just swinging and my shoes had gone. <\/p>\n
‘I’ll buy you all the shoes you need,’ my mum said as she greeted me outside.<\/p>\n
My parents then ran off to find my siblings.<\/p>\n
I was later told Carl and Marylyn had died, and all my friends had gone as well. <\/p>\n
My life changed forever.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“I heard this tremendous sound, like a hurricane.
