He settled in to wait.<\/p><p>He didn&rsquo;t have to wait long. Over the next three hours, Schneidawind watched nervously as the hashtag took off. Over the next three days, he was fielding interview requests from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teenvogue.com\/story\/18-year-old-andrew-schneidawind-ifidieinaschoolshooting-hashtag-interview\">Teen Vogue<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/morning-mix\/wp\/2018\/05\/23\/ifidieinaschoolshooting-its-because-i-live-in-america-and-other-sad-realities\/?utm_term=.7d2feaa3184d\">The Washington Post<\/a>, and the hashtag had been used more than 50,000 times.<\/p><p>&ldquo;I was just a small, aspiring activist,&rdquo; Schneidawind told UMW four days later as he prepared for an afternoon interview on CNN.<\/p><p>&ldquo;Now I&rsquo;m always going to be known as the guy who started #IfIdieInASchoolShooting.&rdquo;<\/p><h4>Sandy Hook to Parkland<\/h4><p>Schneidawind is not happy about that. To be known for a hashtag about dying in a school shooting is to acknowledge that people die in school shootings. Even if the statistical odds are exceedingly rare.<\/p><p>As he watched the likes on his Twitter post climb into the thousands, as he stepped into a Dunkin&rsquo; Donuts near the construction site in Arlington where he works a summer job to take phone call after phone call, his initial excitement waned.<\/p><p>&ldquo;It hits you. You had to make [the hashtag] because of this problem. I wasn&rsquo;t regretting it. But I wasn&rsquo;t ever really happy I started it,&rdquo; the communications and digital studies major said.<\/p><p>He can recall the deadliest mass shootings since Sandy Hook Elementary School, when a gunman killed 26, 20 of them children, in 2012.<\/p><p>Schneidawind was 12.<\/p><p>&ldquo;I remember it all.&rdquo;<\/p><p>He remembers the proposed gun legislation that later failed, including a bill that would have reinstated an expired 1994 assault weapons ban. He remembers the mass shootings that followed &ndash; Charleston, Orlando, Las Vegas. He watched it unfold on TV and computer screens.<\/p><p>When 17 people died at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, in February, Schneidawind had had enough of watching.<\/p><p>&ldquo;I went to Florida. It was important to me.&rdquo;<\/p><p>He stayed for two days. &ldquo;I always knew it was real. When I did see it, it was more real than I ever expected.&rdquo;<\/p><h4>Making waves<\/h4><p>Three months later, there had been another school shooting &ndash; this time in Texas.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_88457\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88457\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"88457\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2018\/05\/24\/umw-students-tweet-heard-around-the-world\/andrew-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/05\/Andrew-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"720,960\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta='{\"aperture\":\"0\",\"credit\":\"\",\"camera\":\"\",\"caption\":\"\",\"created_timestamp\":\"0\",\"copyright\":\"\",\"focal_length\":\"0\",\"iso\":\"0\",\"shutter_speed\":\"0\",\"title\":\"\",\"orientation\":\"0\"}' data-image-title=\"Andrew 1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Even though he had followed the news of mass shootings in America since he was 12, Andrew Schneidawind said the February shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida that left 17 dead changed him.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/05\/Andrew-1-225x300.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/05\/Andrew-1.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-88457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/05\/Andrew-1.jpg\" alt=\"Even though he had followed the news of mass shootings in America since he was 12, Andrew Schneidawind said the February shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida that left 17 dead changed him.\" width=\"310\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/05\/Andrew-1.jpg 720w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/05\/Andrew-1-225x300.jpg 225w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/05\/Andrew-1-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-88457\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Even though he had followed the news of mass shootings in America since he was 12, Andrew Schneidawind said the February shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida that left 17 dead changed him.<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>Even though he&rsquo;d grown up with a fear that it could happen anywhere, to anybody, even though he&rsquo;d long looked for escape routes inside his classrooms, Schneidawind felt different this time.<\/p><p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve never <em>not<\/em> had an opinion,&rdquo; he said, and he can trace it to his mother, an immigrant from Poland who&rsquo;d been part of a non-violent, anti-communist social movement.
