Well, I hope Tom was changed by that. Loved how you addressed that misconception and negative view of the future. True, that these people had experienced bad things to make them pessimistic but Mrs. Armstrong sure knew how to change their perspective!

Wow, that was so observant of you, Helen. Thank you so much for reading, reviewing and your comments. I will fix those two things in a moment. Hugs and smiles!

I forgot to mention that the "an" should be "and" but I'm sure you got it. 💞

"Does anyone here think they will have a job when done this course? - done (with) this course?
Or do you plan to do the work needed, collect your income for the year and then sit an grip about life after." - grip(e) about life after."
You made your point well and certainly gave them something to think about. I think Tom will return, but will read on to see.

Comment from Pantygynt
Under-achievers are often quick to fire off when they feel cornered as Tom did here when you asked that question. He immediately became defensive and demanding to retain his privacy. Well if your privacy is all you have got, as it probably was in Tom's case then you tend to hang on to it very possessively. You handled the outburst well in my opinion.

Awww again thank you so much. I fully agree that when cornered the majority number of people tend to get defensive., time will tell.
Comment from Henry King
This is a right to the point instructor seeking a baseline from which she may effectively influence her students. Tom is a student who needs a direction and a goal. Maybe the Medical field is not for him. I would ask the Student Counselor to have a session with him. I wish she would have told him about that. Maybe this work is about a mediocre instructor.

Thank you so much for your constructive comments, that was a good idea about the 'student counselor' from a wise person.

Please don't stop. Help educators by writing about Tom.

This is a good informative, suggestive fiction has realistic dialogues, good flow of thoughts and plot development, and a curious ending; well said, well done. Keep writing. DR ALCREATOR
