15. Today I met with a boy who is at serious risk of exclusion from
school. Essentially he is sick and tired of being told what to do
and how to do it.
I practiced the skills I learnt from our workshop and he came up
with two sheets of flip chart papers on next steps for change! He
said he felt listened to and inspired to take the next steps. Bravo
young man.
