And I know that forgiveness isn’t given, it’s earned, and that’s why I apologized immediately and that’s why I reached out to the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, because I realized that to seek guidance in what I can do in this gap year to right this wrong, and that’s what I’m focused about.

That’s why I reached out to the Office of Diversity and Inclusion, because it was the right thing to do.
