It never ceases to surprise me when I find out I have somehow managed to drop a pebble that would create ripples in a student's life. Okay, that sounds like glorifying myself, but still. Thanks. This reminds me why I got into teaching and writing in the first place. Well.

But,if you are not frightened, if you refuse to be pushed into the groove of tradition by your parents, by your teachers, by the superficial demands of society, then there is a possibility of discovering what it is you really love to do.
