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.

Ceilie's Post

I agree with Lydia in the fact that just because you haven't lost something significant, you don't truly get what kindness really is. I understand what Naomi Shihab Nye means in saying that once you lost something, an act of kindness can benefit you, but I don't see that kindness as the only type. When someone holds a door for me, they don't do it because I have lost the ability to push a door open, but because they are just being sincerely kind. Sure, there are moments when loss can cause someone to gain a better comprehension on what kindness actually is, but you don't have to be deprived of something to understand it.
