Student Intent To Return Forms
Words of Wisdom
~Harriet Beecher Stowe
Everyone has had the experience of saying or doing something that they immediately regret. We lose our temper or snap at someone out of anger or irritation, or we do something insensitive or hurtful. Then comes the dreaded moment when we fully realize what we've done.
Saying "I'm sorry" is sometimes not enough, and making amends becomes a more courageous form of an apology. It shows we have enough respect for both ourselves and the other person to go beyond "sorry" and put our apologies into action. When we right our wrongs, life brings fewer regrets, and that's something we each deserve.
