    The passage given, was a hard one to read, not because of the length or the style of which it was set up, but because reading that everything I was ever taught about President Lincoln was a lie, or almost one.

This punishment quickly and effectively taught me how important trustworthiness was to them, over time this created a desire within me to always be honest for myself.…
