He seemed more interested in attracting attention for himself than he was grieving for he loss of important people in his life (teachers and classmates). I have no doubt that he's an opportunist looking to make a name for himself. I could see it in his eyes and I could see it in his conduct and his attitude at the time he was being interviewed/sharing his story on the day (a few hours later) of shooting.
What struck me about him when I saw him on Meet the Press was simply that he was the most articulate among the 5 students interviewed. So I checked him out on you tube, and found even more evidence of his skill and intelligence. It may be that these appearances and his leadership furthers his career, or it may not; but if so, I think he deserves whatever personal advancement he gets for his articulate expression of his classmates' needs and his dedicated work for this great cause of gun control, which we sorely need, and which has been blocked by greedy lobbyists and by confused people for far too long, at the cost of far too many lives.
