“I cannot tell you how many people during that time told me: 'I’m so sorry this happened to you—but I am so glad that it was you who it happened to.'
I can't help but think that they're right.
I have been through a lot in my life, and if nothing else, it has made me strong. I wouldn't have wished it on the team for anything. If could go back right now and steal those words out of his mouth, I would do it. But as I have spent a career telling the young women in my care, all you can do is focus on the things you control, and what we controlled in this instance was our response.”
