Later that evening, as I prepared to go
to sleep, I began to question what I had done.” Did I make a terrible mistake?
Had Edward filled the room with lies just to win me over and get a high grade?
Had I been had? Was my level of compassion playing tricks on me?” Finally, my
exhausted mind and body gave way to a deep sleep.
At 3:00 a.m. the phone rang. In a fog, I tried to sound alert as
I answered it. The voice on the phone asked me if I were Edwards Music Theory
Teacher at XY College. I told him yes and waited. “I am a priest from Edwards’
Church and I have something to tell you.” “I want to thank you on be-half of
Edward’s family and myself for saving his life today.”
The Priest went on to explain to me the events leading up to
this phone call. Edward has an older brother who has always been angry because
he is short in height, although scholastically a high achiever and excels in
sports. This brother has always been extremely jealous of the 6 foot frame of
Edward and has belittled and verbally abused Edward most of his life.
This treatment has caused him to have severe low self-esteem and
a miserable existence. Edward thought of his brother as his hero and wanted
desperately to please him. I am not sure what role the parents played but I get
the impression they were wrapped up in their business and had little if any
time for the boys.
