Wow! I enjoyed the assembly you guys did although it was pretty sad. I don't want to make the wrong decision but as you said these situations do happen. I have learned many things today - thank you for your support. Thanks. P.S Wow I'm sorry you got shot. How long were you in that gang and did you know the kid that shot you?

In the assembly, I felt like I was living in the life you guys were suffering. I told my parents and they were amazed on how interesting the book is.

Thank you for making me realize that you need to forgive other people that hurt you. You impacted me because your stories made me think that you just need to "FORGIVE". Thank you so much.

The story about the gang was interesting.
VU, Dr Albert Einstein Academy - Dr Albert Einstein Academy No 29

By "gang" story, I mean the person that told us about him joining one and that he made the wrong choice, interesting, but seriously "interesting" and sad.
VU, Dr Albert Einstein Academy - Dr Albert Einstein Academy No 29

In any type of way did you want payback when the kid shot you?
YA, Dr Albert Einstein Academy - Dr Albert Einstein Academy No 29

That is a sad story.
