As a former school teacher in Louisiana, Eileen was encouraged to retain or hold back students. This never rested well with her. Writing about the experience and being asked to return to speak, made her feel that she could pay back the children that she may have let down. Eileen shares these powerful nuggets of life wisdom:
- writing heals
- forgive ourselves
- have courage to move forward
- prejudice is taught and learned
- one person can make a difference
- see the situation from others perspectives
- listen to each other
