Four students reflect on the meanings of a ritual of confession, sharing, and forgiveness during a school retreat. During a night of great honesty and integrity, students spoke to each other of their lives, their choices, their regrets, their wishes, and above all, their love. During that evening, four students came out to their classmates and their teachers. While their teachers found the foundation of this powerful evening in the social justice program of which this retreat is a part, students felt that the personal strengths and social solidarity of their class of 83 individuals explains much more.
