Question

Case 2. A 20-year-old Asian American male college student who has volunteered to work with struggling high school students finds that he is learning more than he imagined he would. He tells his college advisor what it’s like: “These kids deal with problems I have never had to face. Some days we’ll start by working on some bit of homework but before we’re done they’re talking about being afraid of the gangs on the way to and from school. This one kid starts and ends each day by helping his mom who has MS. In the morning he gets her up and dresses her and in the evening he gets her ready for bed. Some days I do as much listening as talking. I go home wondering about my own life. I get embarrassed when I think of the ways I whine about my own problems. Many of these kids have a type of maturity about them you don’t see in people who have lived as comfortably as I have. Boy do I have a lot to learn!”
