"Every session I have counselled has been a great opportunity to learn more from others. The problems they face or how students still tend to prioritise their studies and relationships over the otherwise gaping crisis that the later years bring. Beyond school. Beyond college. You included, I am sure."

He fiddles with his thumbs, elbows resting upon his knees. "That said too many things are out of control. Counselling isn't enough- not for those who can't find the strength to speak up or approach me."

"And I will perfect that formula. Slowly but surely."
