Ware, the boy 10 the longest arrest record in the history of town.” Somehow, I knew that I wasn’t the first to 11 about T. J.’s darker side as the first words of introduction.

He didn’t readily join the discussion groups, didn’t seem to have much to say. 15 slowly, the interactive games drew him in. The 16 really melted when the groups started building a list of positive and negative things that had occurred at school that year. T. J. had some definite thoughts on those situations. The other students in T. J.’s group 17 his comments. All of a sudden T. J. felt like a part of the group, and 18 he was being treated like a leader.
