Seoul Elementary

Seoul Elementary is a very big school. There are approximately 175 kids in each class so there were four presentations today. The kids were all fired up and ready for Trevor to come to the school.

The most touching thing that occurred today was the exchange between a second grader and Trevor. It was so neat.

The little boy came up to Trevor and proudly introduced himself. He had  little red sweatshirt on with his hoodie pulled so tightly around his face you could so only his eyes. But he was so confident when he saidthat he was bullied badly a year ago at an international school in Europe. But he said he had the greatest counselor that helped him a lot. We asked the boy what did counselor did. He said the counselor showed him the Bullies Are A Pain in the Brain dvd. The watched it together a few times and talked about all of the ideas and how he could use those ideas in his situation. This little boy was being bullied on the playground back at his old school. But with the help of his counselor and the Bullies Are A Pain in the Brain dvd he really figured out how to make the situation better.

We asked him how it was going here in Korea. He said things are good and he is still using the ideas from the dvd and the ideas from his counselor to handle any rough situation that might come up. He is so excited to know that he is going to be receiving his own copy of Bullies Are A Pain in the Brain dvd. Thank you USO.

Once again we realized that the simplest of tools and just being there to lend an ear to a child makes all the difference in the world.
