Forgiveness

Today in class we watched a short video on Eric Smallridge, a prisoner who killed two young girls named Megan and Lisa. Eric was charged and sentenced to prison for 22 years. Megan’s Mother named Renee was happy that he went to prison for a long time, well that’s what she thought until one day. That day Eric was told that his sentenced in years was cut to half because Renee forgave him. Renee forgave him because she knew that anger towards him would not solve anything and she won’t be able to feel free again. Renee is now happy and relief as well as for Eric, they both now go to public school to give a lesson and to teach them what is right and what not to do.
