Last Topic of the Year, due by Sunday, June 7:

Perhaps its time to pick out some favorite memories of Pine Point. Let us know about three (or two, or one, or fifty) of your fond memories of your time at our school. Don't worry about choosing a favorite. Just describe a few good memories. (Feel free to do more than one post as memories come back to you.)

Remember to check the rubrics (to the right). Contributions to the forum can be brief, but must be well thought out and carefully written. No typos or grammar errors, please.

Anna's post

It is strange to me tears have become associated with weakness. In my opinion, the ability to cry shows nothing but strength. To cry is to allow vulnerability to consume your mind, to open yourself up to sadness, to look pain in the eye without fear. It is not a sign of helplessness, but of a person looking to repair something within that was once broken. I know boys who are proud to say they cry and others who are not. Like Caroline said, I almost feel sorry for those who are unable to admit their tears, treating them as a frailty or flaw. Sometimes pain is unavoidable. As Scarlet said, no matter who you are or what you will face, its okay to cry.
