You Can't Say You Can't Play

Who of us can remember the pain and humiliation of being rejected by our classmates? We remember the uncertainty of separating from our home and entering school as strangers, and more than the relief of making friends, we recall the cruel moments of our own isolation as well as those children we knew were destined to remain strangers.
