Labels...Can a label really define anyone? Can it really summarize "in a nutshell" the complexities of any human being? Can it really draw the boundaries of their potential? Can it really negate their ability to change? Can it express all of their human experience? Their history? Their point of view? Is anyone so easily defined?
