Coping With Loss, Tuesday, Third Period
"Last week, we did a little introduction round to each other," Kaidan said. Well... sort of, anyway. He was in short order learning that for a teacher, he made a really great marine. Which was why today he'd be sticking to the book. "This week, it's time to introduce ourselves to ourselves. So to speak."
He walked past all the students, leaving a sheet of paper and a sheet full of questions on each desk.
"You'll find a couple of questions on here," he said. "They have to do with self-awareness. You can't learn to cope with your own grief - or that of someone else - without understanding who you are and how you tick. Now, I know this is a private thing, and some of you might not want to share, so. If you want, you can turn it in, and I'll be able to better adapt the class to what you need. If you don't want... well, I want you to write this out anyway. Then you can toss it in the trash, turn in only half of it, or take it with you and burn it - I don't care."
He paused.
Looked at the class.
"But I do want to see you writing," he said. "Take your time. This is for your benefit, not mine."
