Jade Akoum could be forgiven if she was consumed entirely by rage - she has had to endure tragedy and pain only few can imagine: the loss of her younger brother Yousef Makki, the talented Manchester Grammar School pupil stabbed to death aged just 17; the death of their mother Debbie from a 'broken 'heart'; and a burning feeling of injustice.
Yet she is not defined by anger - far from it.
Amazingly, she wants to meet the boy who killed her brother and the boy who bought the knife that inflicted the fatal injury, boys from privilege and wealth a millions miles from the humble world of the Makki family, who could not have dreamed about sending Yousef to MGS without the bursary that made it possible.
