00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:03.600 align:middle line:84%
I read this earlier
today, but I'd

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:11.730 align:middle line:84%
like to read it now just
because I feel like,

00:00:11.730 --> 00:00:15.360 align:middle line:84%
what I told the class
earlier is, this is actually

00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:19.660 align:middle line:90%
the heart of my response.

00:00:19.660 --> 00:00:22.740 align:middle line:84%
So, it was a piece
that I wrote as I

00:00:22.740 --> 00:00:26.670 align:middle line:90%
was working on these poems.

00:00:26.670 --> 00:00:30.720 align:middle line:84%
I did a lot of
research on apologies

00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:32.680 align:middle line:90%
made around the world.

00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:38.780 align:middle line:84%
So, it was really something
really educational.

00:00:38.780 --> 00:00:43.600 align:middle line:84%
There have been many apologies,
actually, here in the US,

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:44.100 align:middle line:90%
right?

00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:47.160 align:middle line:90%


00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:52.590 align:middle line:84%
And as well as in Canada with
the First Nations people,

00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:53.850 align:middle line:90%
and so on.

00:00:53.850 --> 00:00:59.760 align:middle line:84%
And I was really trying my best,
through all of this reading,

00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:05.590 align:middle line:84%
trying to understand what
makes an apology effective.

00:01:05.590 --> 00:01:08.700 align:middle line:90%
What makes it feel right.

00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:14.700 align:middle line:84%
What makes it just sit,
like you can feel it

00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:17.340 align:middle line:90%
when somebody means it, right?

00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:21.040 align:middle line:84%
And I was really trying
to understand that.

00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.315 align:middle line:84%
And so, I started thinking
about apologies in my own life.

00:01:24.315 --> 00:01:27.310 align:middle line:90%


00:01:27.310 --> 00:01:33.150 align:middle line:84%
And I came to this moment
that I had between my father

00:01:33.150 --> 00:01:37.830 align:middle line:84%
and that was really life
altering, a life altering

00:01:37.830 --> 00:01:39.480 align:middle line:90%
moment, I think.

00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:43.370 align:middle line:90%
Well for me, definitely.

00:01:43.370 --> 00:01:45.000 align:middle line:90%
