A teacher credited with saving her students' lives during the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary brought her message of hope to Berks County.
Kaitlin Roig-DeBellis spoke at Penn State Berks Wednesday night as part of the school's Arts and Lecture Series.
She acted quickly when a shooter opened fire at the school in Connecticut back on December 14, 2012 locking her 15 students in a small bathroom.
She says she hasn't let the tragedy define her and says people have the power to choose hope even during their darkest hour.
"It's a moment that myself and I'm sure millions of people could have never anticipated, have never foreseen," said Roig-DeBellis. "In the days and weeks following, I had to make a choice for myself and my students that that day wasn't going to define us, and a choice that we were going to get our control back."
Twenty students and six school employees were killed in the shooting.
