Rebekah replied to Phillip G's discussion A person in need, and did nothing"On my first day of Torts class, during my first week of law school, the fire alarm went off. Of course we all waited for the prof to direct us to exit the building - same as that bus boy.

Sam I. replied to Phillip G's discussion A person in need, and did nothing" I don't think you ought to beat yourself up over it.
