“In the second grade, ... For a bus monitor we had ... ‘the Wig’ who yelled and threatened us daily. ... I’ve learned that holding a grudge against a person takes a lot of energy and can really stress you out. ... I know I still need to work on forgiveness, but I’m making progress. I understand that some people in the world are not going to be nice to you, even if you’re just a kid. I hope someday to completely forgive the ‘The Wig’.”
