The Power of Listening

Huy was always quiet. His classmates called him strange. He never spoke in class and often sat alone. But a school counselor noticed and started talking to him during breaks, just asking simple questions and truly listening.

Over time, Huy began to open up. He shared about the violence at home and his fear of speaking. With counseling and the school’s support, Huy received protection and began to thrive. He joined a music club and now plays the guitar in school events.

All it took was someone who cared enough to listen. Sometimes, the most powerful change starts with a conversation.
