Stand up for Life!

3 Aug

Juan and Manuel. Future stand up men.

When it rains, it certainly pours. Just the other day, a student enthusiastically announced, “We have no class!” At the risk of sounding too critical, I responded, “I believe you mean that we have no school. Stay classy!”

That was just another reminder about how much I love teaching. Whenever young people are excited enough to make an impassioned declaration, a teacher must be prepared to do one of two things. If their enthusiasm outweighs the wisdom of the course they have embarked on, then we must gently remind them of the options available to them. On the other hand, if their enthusiasm threatens to exceed something truly exceptional, then we must allow ourselves to be swept by it.


The students of the University of Asia and the Pacific have decided to take a stand on an issue that most adults tread softly around: the sanctity of life. It’s time to be swept up by it.
