March,Month of Graduation Day!

March is the month of Graduation. Supposedly, a month dedicated for the joyous celebration for most graduating student and their parents.

But for my nephew, the son of my Sister-in-Law this would be his nth time to set this momentous occasion on another date and time.

I am equally dis-appointed as his parents for I have known him to be a bright boy during his elementary days. He was even studying on a scholarship grant in Xavier School located in Greenhills, up to his 6th grade until her mother decided to transfer him in a school near to their place of residence.

He is already 25 years of age and had shifted from two different courses until he thought Nursing would be his final degree to take. He have used up the educational plan in studying in an exclusive school but never graduate.

This year, I mean this time he made another promise to his sister (who is working in Singapore) that he would graduate next semester. Both his parents are losing hope that he would eventually graduate but keeping their fingers cross.

I can’t blame his parents because he already made a lot of promises and broke them all.

What seem’s to be the problem?

Once, I was asked by his parents to talk to him and if possible to find out what is the problem or the real reason behind his attitude.

As I realize during our discussion, he knows what is the problem but he is not doing anything. He just made a promise (again) to make his studies his priority. He even shed tears saying how sorry he was and for me to talk to her mother to give him another chance,

According to her mother, he plays the computer up to the wee hours of the next morning. These had been their source of dis agreement and confrontation in the past until she gave up.

Are parents to blame in this situation?

Anybody out there who can share a solution or have similar story to tell?

Would my nephew eventually graduate next semester?

This we would find out like a tele-novela in the months to come!

Stumble it!
