Life is full of lessons that surprise us at random turns. When I was in 4
th grade I learned that too often, life for
a lot of people isn't fair. I learned about racism in the 1940's, and poverty in Africa. It hit me hard. Before that, I didn't know a thing about poverty, racism, and things that just aren't fair. And the worst thing I learned about, was that these all happened for no good reason.
