I met a young man named in Lao in the park, after a mildly successful attempt at holding my last period class in Republic Park. He was a Fire Bender, and he had some baggage. Though for a young man, he carried it well from what I saw, and even asked for a bit of a history lesson regarding the Fire Nation to assuage some of his inherited guilt. I wish more young people his age did that.
I know that a lot has happened with the world in the last few decades, and the century before that, but that's all behind us now. Or mostly, anyway. All these old resentments need to be forgotten or forgiven. At least the younger kids, like the ones I teach, don't harbor much, if any, of those old prejudices. That makes me hopeful.
Lao has my phone number. When he gets into the Pro-Bending game, I hope he remembers to give me a call so I can see him in the arena. Maybe I should have asked him for tickets too.
