My name is April, an I'm a fellow student as well friend. I always had trouble in school and was picked on, but every time I would see Austin in the hall way I remember that he would come up to me in any mood that I was in that day and when I would be upset he'd always put a smile on my face and gave me hug. He was there, when no one else was. I didn't get to know him as much as I wanted to because of his passing, but what I did know about him was that he is caring, joyful, and could light up a person's day. I didn't find out about what happened and who was the teenager from North that had passed on until nearly a year later. I was devastated, when I found out it was a young man that was a true and a respectful friend that I befriended myself. I give my Condolences to his family. I'm truly sorry for what happened to Austin.
