When he came up the stage wearing shades, guided by an attendant and a cane, I told myself, “Here we go again with the motivational shiz.” He was introduced as Dennis Cunanan Ilaw, the blind writer.

I knew that it was the school administration’s another attempt at ‘fixing’ and ‘straightening up’ our lives—we are a bunch of juvenile delinquents stuck in a rehabilitation center, after all. Frankly, I think they can shove their efforts down their throats, because the only rehab I need is to get out of this god-forsaken place.
