Story & Video – Joseph Boyle
Recently in the course of my job, I interviewed a 15-year-old kid. I asked him how he was doing in school. He said, “Fine.” I had spoken to his school counselor, so I knew better. I asked a follow-up question. “Are you getting straight A’s?” His head hung down as he prepared to tell me truthfully how he was really doing. “No, I am getting straight F’s”.
I told him it was obvious to me that he had way more potential then that. He agreed. School was just not important to him right now, because of other issues in his life. He admitted that he had lost his way.
