This coach is inspirational. Hope all schools have these types of teachers at school

[@MrTrollbaby]

Not everyone learns from the typical institutional dynamics. School isnt for all of us. Nga looked like he learns on the job. A lot of guys are like that, theres nothing wrong with it. As long you can read write and do basic math, you can integrate into the big world. What sucked was hearing Ngas mum say he cant man up while answering the questions for him. A lot of shy people are actually really observant and smart. But a little assertiveness goes a long way. Dont worry Nga, being quiet has its advantages. Just dont allow the world tell you who you are homie. Master your skill. Dont practice till you get it right, train till you never get it wrong. Skills are everything to a man. They produce and provide. Good luck cuz. Stay plus

[@qneshqt6002]

wow mum reckons he needs to man up? maybe you need to understand how he operates better shy and quiet doesnt make him less of a man

[@Divalicious07]

Sometimes islander mums just stay stuff like that and you can’t disagree as a sign of respect annoying but that’s life
