Deserving a chance
I know of a very pleasant 24 year old Chinese boy who is doing a business degree in Japan who had to leave his studies to return home due to the recent earthquake and Tsunami.
His mom is an old friend of mine. I know that he has inherited a lot of the goodness from his lovely mom.
He was home for the recent Chinese New Year holidays and had, for the first time, brought home his girlfriend a mixed Japanese/Chinese who speaks 4 languages. Pretty lovely girl too.
They had returned to Japan where he was to do his final four papers when the earthquake struck. He was at home and she was at the tube station. Thank goodness, they both survived and are safe.
His family immediately directed him to take a flight back home. Wise decision. That was pre-radiation days.
He left with barely anything, taking his GF with him.
They are both here and are now faced with reality.
His parents had financed his tuition fees but he had worked long hours even as a dishwasher to pay his rent and food.
He feels that there is no way for him to return to his studies as life in Japan will now drastically change.
He is sad and frustrated that he is actually so close to graduation (only 4 papers left to go).
Today I met him and his GF and we talked.
I suggested that he write to his university and apply for a year's leave.
He wants to work. He says he knows he has not the paper qualifications but he is willing to work doubly hard to prove himself.
He deserves a chance.
He has a heart and is loved by all who know him. Young and old.
He is someone who has that special character that is not easily found, not even in his siblings and cousins.
Do u know of any possibilities for him? Possible jobs?
I have his number but I told him when I took it that I do not have a vast network that might be helpful but he said, it is ok. The fact that I cared enough was what mattered.
We come from different ethnic and religious backgrounds but he is one person I would help any day.
If u are in a position to also help, please let me know.
Thanks so much.
