It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

A Second Chance
It only took a whisper. I was sitting in the hospital room, holding my mother's hand, when the doctor whispered the words I had been dreading: "There's nothing more we can do." Within moments, my world came crashing down. My mother, my rock, my best friend, was gone. I was consumed by grief, and my life spiralled out of control. I lost my job, my apartment, and almost myself. But then, something inside me stirred. I knew I had to find a way to honor my mother's memory and start anew.
