I received an email from someone today who had read the previous entry on this page which talked about her in a derogatory manner. For all of you who read it, I would like you to know that I do not still believe what I did and that I am sincerely apologetic. My opinions were unfounded and base, as well as superficial and callous. I have never met this person face to face but she believes in each cause that she fights for and that is something to admire, not attack. It took guts for her to write to me and after re-reading my entry it was a bit of a slap in the face. There are times when we make judgements on people based on rumors and most likely fictional encounters and it's not fair. This is why I have removed the entry and replaced it with this because I didn't think and that's inexcusable. There are so many times that I am realizing now when I have hurt people by saying or doing something and they are people that deserved better than that. I'm happy that she wrote to me to tell me of my error and call me on my stupidity because I did not have both sides to the story and I'm glad that I do now - even though I wish that I had never written it. I cannot believe that I was so horrible in my comments and I truly hope that I have grown up since then because I do not like who I was at that time. I wanted this message here instead as a reminder of what I did and to continually remind myself not to become that catty being that I was at that time. This person has done more for the university as well as people all over Toronto than I realize and I really hope that she accepts my apology.
