Bench Press
I was in a hurry to go to the gym when a student in my Philippine History class asked me to sign her dropping form. Everytime I encounter students who wish to drop or change subjects, I find time to interview them and do some counseling before getting the right but real story. Their stories are interesting but this girl caught my attention. While she was lurking my way to sign her papers, she said that she needs to transfer to the other school and stay with her parents in Nueva Ecija. Her uncle was taking shabu and tried to rape her one time when she was alone asleep. She told everyone in the family but noone believes her except her protective father. She was crying profusely because she’ll miss our educational trip to Ilocos. I’ll miss her, too, because she’s intelligent and pretty. I told her to finish her studies whatever comes her way. I like her courage to open up.
I carried my dumbbells and did four sets of bench press.
