I reconnect with a former student of mine, Lawyer Darfour, whom I met 35 years ago as his sixth grade teacher at St. Thomas of Canterbury, in Uptown, Chicago. Lawyer details his journey from transferring from a South Side of Chicago school to one on the North Side. As he recalls, his experience in Uptown led him to a greater understanding of the ethnic and cultural diversity of the world. Lawyer takes us through his days in high school, college and beyond. His deep understanding of diversity has helped him along the way, up to and including his current employment with an international construction company that has sent him all over the world.

The story Dr. Martinez tells is profoundly moving and, ultimately cathartic.
Dr. Efrain Martinez describes a painful childhood in which he slowly realizes why his mother both physically and mentally abuses him. As a pre-teen, Efrain realizes that his mother's attitude towards him is the direct result of the fact that he and his sister are the children of a relationship his father had with a Venezuelan prostitute.
One day, years after successfully completing college, building a successful professional career, marrying, and having children, Dr. Martinez has an epiphany while rescuing a man from a burning car fire.
As a consequence of that seminal event, over time, Dr. Efrain learns to forgive his parents, as well as himself.
