Want to be a Hero?, Friday, 4th Period

[wrongkindofsith]

Cara had her students meet her at the same spot in front of the preserve where she'd held class the first week.

"Calling yourself a hero, means that sometimes you need to be the bigger person," she said, without much preamble "Sometimes this means making alliances with people you consider enemies, or giving people who've done you wrong a second chance. Sometimes this means behaving in what most people would consider to a dangerously naive and trusting way." Sometimes these options were exactly the same thing if you asked Cara, but that was one of the many reasons why she didn't consider herself heroic.

"So today, we're going to discuss what you'd do if presented with choices and why. If you feel your classmates are being either too harsh or too forgiving, feel free to press them on it. Try not to be too rude about it." That was her job.
