And He Walked Away!

one of the great tragedies of my job is having to watch the occasional student lose in life. it's certainly not something that many of us are unfamiliar with...gosh, we all have our stories of those tough things. it's just hard to actually see the potential pitfalls and not be able to help them see those or steer them around it. the part that angers me more, though, is watching the "friends" help in the straying. often for reasons of their own "lostness", they hold doors wide open for each other that lead to more heart-break.

well...one of mine walked away from those friends the other day because he has started walking home.

i couldn't be more proud.
