Last week I asked one of my classes to write a paragraph about a difficult decision they had faced, what they decided or didn’t decide, and the consequences of that decision. I was surprised by how candid many were in their papers. I was also surprised at how much adversity these young people have faced in life already. They are all pressing forward, though, hopeful for something better. For many of them, their past decisions will follow them for a long time, but they are finding new strength. What an incredible privilege to work with such individuals.
