A student came to see me after school yesterday, to discuss about a major national exam. He was so far behind in his studies, due to him having to support himself. He seemed troubled and confused, then he divulged that he wanted to quit school. Suddenly i felt burdened with knowing too much information. Being ignored @ work b'coz..being disregarded in class b'coz..non-existing child-parent communication throughout his secondary life..the death of a sweetheart..i almost see tears... I felt helpless, my incapability to offer more than mere advice, my almost cliche' words of comfort. However i salute him for his sense of independance and beneath his vulnerability i see an emotionally stronger person...if only ... I can really feel his forlornness..his desolateness..if only..
