Dear Ravi:

You are welcome. You deserve my support, Ravi. You are a good young man. You know I wouldn’t state this if I didn’t believe it, don’t you? You are a good man. And I believe Jerry knew it and still knows it. Some of your behavior was wrong. Nothing unforgivable, not as far as I am concerned. I mean it! So let go of this “I am evil” brooding. You are not evil.

You are a good young man and you have good values. Please do not argue with this…!

Tell your mother, father, grandmother, to knock and wait for your permission before entering. Take charge in this way: tell them what you need them to do and not to do so that you do your best studying.

I encourage your studying because this is what you want to do.

So study. Maybe you won’t make it, but do what you can do. Be a … hero in your own life, Ravi. Be someone you look up to. Do so by focusing now on your studies, and doing what you can to make up the time. Be as calm as you can while studying. It is possible to study and pass exams as a Zombie, depressed and not motivated. It takes being a hero in your own life to do what needs to be done, what you choose to do, whether you feel like it or not.
