I'm tired of being burdened with issues. Can anyone help?
Q. I have graduated highschool but returned for a semester; not because of poor academics, but because I was not in the right mindset during my senior year to be thinking about University.. It was a year when I was just really getting to finally know ...
A. 1 October 2009: We talked. He told me all the things I had been telling myself, but gave me a fresher perspective. Hearing those truths come from someone else was exactly what I needed.. I feel like I'm back on track again, that my priorities are truly back in ... (read in full...)

A. 30 September 2009: I finally got up the courage to ask him today. I knocked on the teacher's lounge door and he greeted me with "Hi Smiley!", and I just asked if I could talk to him alone for a second. So he unlocked an unused classroom and we went in and shut the ... (read in full...)
