Elsa Avila, who was a teacher for nearly two decades, is torn about returning after being shot and injured in the Robb Elementary shooting last year.
Every year for nearly two decades, Elsa Avila prepared for the school year ahead. But after she was shot last May at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, she took a year off to reconsider a career she now felt lacked a sense of safety, security and peace of mind.
Avila spent months recovering from a gunshot wound to the stomach. She said at the beginning, her recovery was painful and she struggled to shake the nightmare she lived through on May 24, 2022. Avila only left her home for doctors' appointments and therapy. She said the thought of being in a crowded place, like a grocery store, felt overwhelming.Throughout her recovery, some of her students and their parents reached out to check in on her and even wished her a happy birthday.
Now, as Avila weighs the pros and cons to returning to school, she can't help but think of escape routes and wonder if she has the ability to keep her students safe.
