There is a young man I have known for sometime that I have watched grow over the past 3 years. He is only 16 years old. He was studying here at a boarding school. His home country is so different to ours. It was a huge culture change for him to live here. His family were all overseas and his school mates became his brothers. Living here had it's difficulties for him but he was here so that he could have a better future. But things were cut short when his father took ill and he had to go home to help with the family business. Here is a young man who was playing rugby and mucking about with his mates one day and the next he has to grow up quickly to look after his family.
You might say poor boy or what about his education. Well he is now learning from life. He will have hard days but also good days. He has the opportunity to go back to study later on or do night classes. With the internet now he has the chance to study online. He is with his family that he loves and he has a good head on his shoulders. I am very proud of him. I wish him the best for the future.
Look beyond the unexpected change. Enjoy and embrace the new things that you will learn.
