An incident that occurred when Coffin was a boy left a lasting impression on him and resulted in Coffin becoming an abolitionist at a young age.

Events in peoples' childhoods leave lasting impressions like Coffin's experience shows. When I was a child a special teacher inspired me to become a teacher.
