Jack Astor Recipe For Crab And Lobster Dip

The Ugly Duckling

(this article follows the previous one)

was one of our students in the second. A real brat!
She had a pig character: arrogant, nasty, hurtful ... She missed her
year and, as we did not know what to do with her and her disciplinary record as a thick book, it was placed at the door.
The following year, another school, it is not better.

The last time I saw her shortly after his departure from home, so she was in her other school, but one morning she came into the class of her friends, at "us" and heckling , Supervisor the exit, I told him, once again, seeing out the cigarette in hand, you can not smoke in school, she replied "Shut up, you have nothing to say to me, I am no longer in this school shit. "

After two second, it follows a line of education / training but keeps his job only two years, still unlivable and demanding towards his employer.
What can we do well with someone like that?
What could it be?

few weeks ago, I received a friend request on Facebook. It's her.
She is 20 years now. She has a CEB: a certificate of basic studies, ie a paper that certifies that it has succeeded in his primary school ....

She recounts her journey through long messages with a beautiful language and faultless spelling. It is a pleasure to read, not only for the fluidity of expression but also for its history. I'm not at all in front of this child but unbearable to a young woman who told me about it - the little girl - almost like another person with a maturity that many might envy, with a beautiful vision.
Moreover, she still bears the burden of shame over this little minx who has yet nothing to do with the adult she has become.
What happened? I do not know if this is a day she had a click, she realized she would get nowhere, she sabotaged herself and she was plucked off the execrable kid. I do not know yet if the second birth was easy or the fruit of great efforts, but the result is spectacular and his dream is to get re-entering the circuit studies for a degree in psychology to help them ... Kids!

I do not say anything she told me, I just wanted to mention that this contact is one of the most beautiful and moving than Facebook I've been given. In retrospect, I think also to A. I'm talking about at the beginning of the blog: A. also experienced this particular moment, this catch where everything changes and where the rebellion, anger, aggression or opposition and provocation are giving way to behave more harmonious, fairer.

We've all probably known among ourselves these jumps of maturity for some it is smooth, while in others once.


This reminds me of the most dramatic cases, including this young man, Adam, who has killed another, Jo, for stealing his "MP3". Who knows if he too will not have this trigger which will open its eyes to the horror of his own actions? Maybe it already happened even before the trial. It is perhaps more a murderer that tried and convicted but a repentant anything to, failing to repair the irreparable, try to spend the rest of his life so that others "Adam" avoid to stray into the horror.

Recent history does not lack examples of people who suddenly had this vision and left the "middle" to pursue delinquent youth to open his eyes, to extract turn up to these young people of the small or big crime before they commit the irreparable.


In my recent readings, I found such examples: Matthieu Ricard quotes that dangerous convicts suddenly lively compassion during his incarceration and then Henderickx Patrick, in his autobiographical "The Three Steps "and" word "proves himself a repentant

I thank the person primarily concerned by this paper for allowing me to mention his desire to change history without even a comma
