I felt so peaceful and grounded afterward, and the effects of those 5 minutes lasted a week.

I remember 4 days later, another student ran into me in the quad and just kept on walking. BOOM! I remember him plowing into me, and as my body was pushed backward from the impact, it was an unexpected surreal experience for me. It was like the moment was happening in. slow. motion. in. my. mind. I remember thinking, "This is when I would normally feel very angry…but I'm not…. more accurately, I feel like I have a choice about whether or not I will choose to feel angry or not… ?!?!?! ...Whoa... This is amazing!”
