Every leader starts with one brave moment. Ellie’s journey is built on many.
Ellie learned the basics of gun safety as a child. Now sixteen and captain of her high school’s Safety Team, she’s responsible for guiding younger students, calming her peers, and helping her community make safer choices. What began as simple rules has grown into a commitment to leadership, responsibility, and courage.
When a disturbing photo spreads online showing a student posing with a gun, tension ripples through the school. Rumors grow, students panic, and everyone looks to Ellie for reassurance. With real fears and real consequences, Ellie must balance calm guidance with decisive action, proving that leadership isn’t about being fearless but about choosing to act even when fear is present.
With her friend Max by her side, Ellie discovers that making a difference isn’t about perfection. It’s about listening, speaking up, and protecting others with compassion and clarity. As she mentors new Safety Team members and faces challenges larger than she expected, Ellie learns that the strongest leaders are those who care deeply enough to step forward.
