Columbia International School's MUN kids were going out today at lunchtime. I was contemplating as my cold and everything happening around me was taking a toll on my health. However, I have this thing with kids, clients, and patients alike: once I worked with them, I want them to not only excel but also foster a lifetime of mentorship. So when Robert Lo asked me to send them off I did not hesitate at all. It was worth everything as the kids were so happy and ready to take that energy to Canada. Good luck kids! ![]() Afterwards, Robert and I went to lunch at Burger King. And then came a text message from another school: Hangyin High School. Robert casually debriefed me about the school, transitioning quickly into a summary of the school basketball team and stuff. "Seems like the kids lost by 40 something points last night and the whole school student body is...well, apathetic about it." I may have been sick, but my eyes lit up in alert. Anything of this magnitude for a sports team in high school level, especially a private school that takes in students whose SOLE responsibility and learning goal is to play ball, this is a pure no-no. I quickly replied, "They need a pep talk. This is not right." As we walked out of Terminal 1 in the rainy afternoon, we went into his car to travel to the school he talked about.
