Year 2014.
The job of a tutor. Not only to disseminate information. Computers can do that. To inspire and make a child aspire.
Our student, a primary 5 student from the east had motivational issues. Showed a distinct lack of interest in studies. At the third class he wore a Man United jersey with Ronaldo 7. Game on.
We showed videos, told him anecdotes of how Ronaldo would never have achieved half of what he did without grit, determination and hunger to train and practice. To be the best. From Lisbon to United.
Slowly and surely it made an impression on him. The boy loved football and it was the spark we as tutors were waiting for.
Of course, we also reminded him of other reasons why one has to fulfil his / her academic potentials.
He made the progress we knew he could.
A story worth sharing.
