Who we truly are, who we allow ourselves to be is revealed only when we believe that we are under observation by no other human being.

Over the course of the last four years, I have watched myriad events unfold at North Idaho College. For those who watched it all closely, it has been a case study of injustice. Every manner in which a person or group can deal unjustly with another has been on full display.
