Families: Each is Special and Unique and Deserves Respect

teacher asks the class to share what each student feels makes their family special.

Told through the words of a little girl, the story begins, "I went last because..."

What a powerful opening. Who among us hasn't wanted to go last because we feared not fitting in or felt our situation was something to be embarrassed by, ashamed of, or which others might find inferior in some way? I'm guessing as children we all had some of these kind of moments. (Perhaps even as adults, we've had times when our stomach clenched as we imagined how others might judge our looks, our homes, our families ... us.)
