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

Facebook

Some of my colleagues had made a member of the large Facebook community. A talk, they aroused my curiosity. I signed up four months ago without knowing the interest to do otherwise, for example, see pictures of the baby of a colleague.

For those who do not know yet what is Facebook, say to sum this is a site where it falls under his real name. Former friends can find you and find yourself, then you must make the effort to move your "friendship" and the other accepts, you are part of their circle of friends, you have access to the data they want to leave it on the Internet: artistic tastes, attended, political or religious, different things that characterize them or anything; photos, too ...
I found myself with old friends whom I lost contact for years with great joy. Facebook is a nice tool.

I became friends with some colleagues and students at the school and the old saw me and started asking me also to be their friend. And it does not stop.

So that in recent weeks I am overwhelmed with "friendship" of pupils and "old" show me their sympathy and it is heartwarming to read, for some recognition of what I brought them and beyond what I could suspect. My wife found the formula "that gives meaning to my career" and I testify my gratitude for my having expressed so warmly.

On the other hand, these contacts extend school relationship, one that 's so abruptly stops once ... Our "mission" filled after Rhaeto for most of them when it starts getting really exciting.

I thus find students who continue their path (not always very linear, but move closer to their vocation more authentic) Others are already deeply engaged in their professional lives. Some of the prestigious courses of other modest but this is not what makes the value of man or woman they have become and I will talk soon with perhaps as much sympathy and admiration of a director of feature film as a supermarket worker, who both have made contact with me.

The "temperamental" (!)

was 1982 or 83. I worked in a renowned athenaeum an upscale neighborhood of Brussels. In that school discipline was not a big concern but, as everywhere, we were sometimes put the record straight with some students.

This time, it was C. who had crossed the line. Was he aggressive? Hateful? Disrespectful? Vulgar? A bit of all this? I do not know, 25 years ago ... But I remember very well have been found and after my remarks, I heard that answer I'll never forget: " ... but that's okay, I'm temperamental "

Fantastic! Everything is explained: The gentleman is temperamental! And of course, therefore, must either accept that Mr angry, violent, irreverent, unpredictable, rude, vulgar ... Rightly so: it is temperamental!

's a handy label that will keep him a lifelong disability social disempowerment of mischief he could do or say.

We all have our qualities (our facilities) and our defects (small or big handicaps) and our responsibility is not really engaged in what we received at birth, but saperlipopette! our responsibility is positively engaged with regard to our evolution we are masters.

And I am somewhat puzzled by those who allowed him to think that HE, C. IS temperamental rather than telling him he had an attitude of temperamental. This grade would have allowed him to deal more easily with its weaknesses. We fight more easily than its faults yourself!
