That afternoon, Jennie knocked at the door of the principal’s office.

“Ms. Watkins, Kara said you wanted to talk with me.” Jennie’s hand was shaking.

“Jennie, come in,” Ms. Watkins smiled. “Sit down.”

Jennie settled on one of the chairs across the desk.

“How are you feeling?”

Ms. Watkins knew Jennie’s history. She had offered her a job ten years earlier, even though no other principal had been willing to take a chance on her.

“I’m fine, Ms. Watkins. Just fine…I’ve never had a student steal from me, and…and I was angry this morning. I overreacted.”

“So I heard.”

“James never came back to class.”

“He was quite upset. I thought it best if his mother takes him home.”

Jennie nodded. “I’m sorry…I apologized to Deborah. In front of the class.” She shook her head sadly.

“I think children seldom see adults say they are sorry…It took a big person to do that.”

“Thanks.”

“Are you doing all right, Jennie? Having problems again?”

Jennie shook her head. “I know how to handle anger. I just…didn’t. It won’t happen again.”
