CHOOSING HOPE Reading Group Guide

1. After seeing Kaitlin’s journey in the months following the events of December 14, 2012, what parts of her personality and her circumstances do you think were most important in allowing her to ultimately move forward with her life

2. In some ways, Kaitlin used this experience to deepen her relationships with those around her. Can you think of examples of this in the book? Have you ever found this to be true in your own life—that tragedy caused you to become closer to others?

3. How does fairness play a role in this story? Do you think it’s a principle that is very important to Kaitlin, or does she prioritize other values over it?

4. How do you think that sharing her story has helped Kaitlin? Why is it important to hear what she went through that day? If you were Kaitlin, would you have chosen to share your story? Why or why not?

5. What makes choice the most powerful tool for Kaitlin in overcoming tragedy? How does it counteract the pain and despair that she feels?

6. How do you think that Kaitlin’s experience as a first-grade teacher has continued to influence her outlook on life outside the classroom? What does working with children teach us as adults?

7. What tools have you used to get past the most difficult experiences in your life? Are they similar to the things that Kaitlin does in the months after the attack?

8. Kaitlin's purpose in writing this book was to encourage people to move forward from even the most difficult times in their lives. Have you ever lived through a dark period, and, if so, how did you get through it? 

9. Choosing Hope was written as a tribute to teachers. Did it change your view of the teaching profession? And, if so, how?

10. Did you have a Mrs. Beaulier in your life? How did that teacher affect you?

11. Kaitlin begins most of her speeches with a quote by Nishan Panwar: "There is a choice you have to make in everything you do. So keep in mind that in the end the choice you make makes you." Do you agree? What is a choice you've made that has contributed significantly to you becoming the person you are today?

12. In the book, Kaitlin talks about a conflict she had with the superintendent over added safety measures for her class. Has there been a time in your life when you've shared your truth, even though it would have been easier to just go along?  Has there been a time when you stood up for something, even though it wasn't the popular choice, and found the truth set you free?
