As I approached, a tall girl I didn\u2019t recognize called out, saying that two classmates wanted to talk to me. I felt a wave of<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> confusion and unease, unsure of what was happening or why there was tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Suddenly, I found myself on the ground with one girl sitting on me and another trying to push me. In a moment of panic, I grabbed the jacket of the girl on top of me and pulled it over my head to shield myself. Just when it felt like no one would help, two twins from school rushed in, pushing the others away and demanding they stop. Their sudden support was a relief in that chaotic moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/a-conversation-with-grandpas-spirit\/\" title=\"\">also read&#8230;..<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding kindness amidst unexpected challenges.
