In 2018, during the devastating Parkland school shooting in Florida, 15-year-old Anthony Borges showed a level of bravery that none could have expected from a teenager. 💔
As gunshots rang out through the halls, panic swept through the students and teachers. In the midst of the chaos, Anthony didn’t hesitate. When he realized the shooter was approaching his classroom, he rushed to lock the door, trying to shield his classmates from the horror unfolding outside. But just as he managed to secure the door, the unthinkable happened — the gunman fired, hitting Anthony five times, in both his legs and his back.Despite the overwhelming pain and the blood flowing from his wounds, Anthony did not let go. With every ounce of strength he had left, he kept the door shut, refusing to let the shooter inside. His actions were nothing short of heroic, and because of his courage, around 20 of his classmates were able to survive that day. 🙏Anthony spent weeks in the hospital, enduring multiple surgeries and fighting for his life. Yet through it all, he remained a symbol of selflessness, courage, and resilience in the face of unimaginable horror. 💖In a world where heroes are often imagined wearing capes and armor, Anthony’s story serves as a powerful reminder that sometimes, real heroes wear school uniforms. 🎒👊
