Aside from the shame of getting expelled, I know I won’t stand my mum.
I retrieve my study book from the bedside and tear out a sheet.
'Reverend Mother Superior and beloved Sisters,
By the time you see this, I will be far gone.
I come before you with shame in my heart and tears in my eyes. I beg forgiveness for the scandal I have caused by bringing into this holy house something unworthy of our life and calling.
I know I have failed you, Mother, and I have failed the example of my sisters who live faithfully and simply before God. I am truly sorry for the hurt and disappointment I have brought to this community.'
