Jenni,

You handled that assignment very well. I hope you got an A+. Just dealing with such a controversial subject, you deserved an A. There was an incident in my town awhile back where a young boy, grammar school age, contracted aids in the same way you speak of. His classmates were ok with it but the parents of the children put the family through hell. They didn't want their children anywhere near the boy. To make a long story short after much ado and time spent to educate the parents the young boy was accepted. They even went on to name the towns newest school after the lad. He's been long gone but his memory lives on through the hearts of a town's people. Each year since his death they hold a road race in his honor and the proceeds go to a scholarship fund also in his name. I find it so strange how people approach different subjects which they know nothing about and jump to conclusions without researching. I'm sorry to have bent your ear so I'll close with the hope that you don't find this too wordy. May God Grace You with His Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.

This is very compelling, Jenni. Ignorance can cause so much pain. Thank you for sharing your sentiments. Love and peace,

Regis
