Oops I hit something and it posted. Part 2 of my first class
So ... Oh yeah my hair was cute!!! j/k We introduced eachother and it was a get to know you segment which was nice to meet different people. Then we had a break and watched a movie that was from Canada and it involved a Native. When he was 4 him and his 7 brothers and sisters were taken from their parents because they drank alcohol and were seperated for a good 13 years when they reunited at their brothers funeral!! He was passed from house to house and group home from group home and beaten. He was so depressed he tried commiting suicide about 4 times and eventually he achieved it. The first minute or so of thismovie they show him hanging from a tree. They wanted you to see what the system did to him. And how the system failed him and his siblings. Since 1984 when he passed away they have changed the laws considerably. One thing this boy mentioned in his journale that when he was in the hospital a nurse held him and how it felt so strange to be held and so good at the same time. Thst boy was never once hugged loved or paid any attention to! I hope I will never be that person I hope and pray that I will love all of those kids that walk through our door and into our HOME!!! No child should know what it's like to not be loved!!!
