On December 1, 1997, three students were killed and five were injured in the Heath High School shooting in Paducah, Kentucky. It was one of the first mass school shootings in the string of dozens of school shootings in the U.S. the past two decades. The beacon of hope that day for the city, the nation and the world was Missy Jenkins Smith, who was paralyzed from the chest down. Missy immediately and courageously forgave the 14-year-old boy who shot her, making the conscious decision that his actions were not going to define who she would become. It is a hope that is shining brighter than ever today. Missy has followed her 2009 award-winning book I Choose to be Happy with this new book, Lessons from a School Shooting Survivor: How to Find the Good in Others and Live a Life of Love and Peace. Crafted for a middle school and high school audience, and with classroom activities at the end of each chapter, Lessons from a School Shooting Survivor features fresh stories about Missy's life since the shooting as they relate to the principles of listening, empathy, forgiveness, laughter, optimism and kindness. In an attempt to reverse the incessant negativity that has blanketed our country the past couple of years, Missy encourages today's youth to create a narrative of their own lives and the lives they touch that is based on love and peace. The book has been endorsed by several educators nationwide, including C. Ed Massey, former National School Boards Association president; Tim Hanner, 2010 Kentucky Superintendent of the Year; Heather Martin, Columbine survivor, high school teacher, and co-founder of The Rebels Project; Phil Blaylock, 2017 National School Resource Officer of the Year; and Susan Guess, co-founder of the Guess Anti-Bullying Foundation. Missy has appeared on numerous television programs and in several publications, including Oprah, Good Morning America, Dateline, Montel, Ricki Lake, CNN Tonight, People, Glamour, and Ladies' Home Journal. She serves today as an inspirational speaker and as a day treatment counselor in a public school district. She is married with two children and lives on a farm in Murray, Ky.…
