@Mirch

Some want to go to school and are passionate about it , others have to be pushed.
You will not doubt the importance of Adjumaction , will you ?

No, I don’t doubt the importance at all, but I do doubt the purpose sometimes.

^ Harry Potter freak. Haha.

I was a total nerd, so went to college with all the passion in the world, and then grad school with much uber excitement. I got run down with burn out last year, and then previously had pretty bad burn out in my third yr of college. That’s how into it I got, I unnecessarily burned myself out.

I was the kid who took every advanced and AP class she could get her hands on, just to take it.

What’s annoying is that my friends interpreted it as being competetive, and that was never the case. I just liked to do school work, and be involved and active in school with leadership roles, etc. You know, living up to my bari amaa status.

Anyway, it’s sad to here that the kid went through all that. You know what helps? So many of us go to Pakistan regularly, just go to a gov’t school or private school and offer to pay some kid’s tuitiion whose parents are struggling to make the payments. That’s what I usually do. My few dollars go a long way.

You are intense.
I used to be that kid, back in grade school. And then I entered high school, and well life happened. And that was it.

I like the idea of what you do. Do you follow up with them?
