Implementing this exercise across the nation could do a lot of good in teaching the next generation to have a little more understanding, but I appreciate Mrs. Elliott’s caution.

Hi, my name’s Donovan. I’m 17 years old and graduated this year with honors. I was raised with Christian values in mind, and attended a Methodist school.

I find myself simply not understanding as time goes by, a complete polar opposite from the song ‘Farther Along’.
