Thank you ma’am is my most favorite reading assignment because I was inspired with the qualities of the old lady in the story. I love how she forgave the teenager and gave him a second chance after what happened. Giving second chances is not easy especially when someone committed a hideous crime against you. It will take a lot of time, understanding, forgiveness and questioning of why someone should be given a second chance. I believe that forgiveness should be given to someone has the potential and willingness to change. I can relate to this story because I have experience giving second chances to many people. Although some of the outcomes were not as I expected, most of them were fulfilling because I have gained back the trust that was taken for granted. Forgiveness is a powerful quality one should possess. Thank you ma’am is truly a great example of showing forgiveness and giving second chances.
