Sungii: I think I'm slowly starting to give up in this
Naruto: What do you mean?
Sungii: I'm tired of it all, everything. Especially school!
Naruto: Is there something that's really bothering you?
Sungii: Yeah, but I would prefer to just forget about it and let it fade from memory.
Naruto: That sounds like the easy way of getting over it.
Sungii: Yeah, that's why I'm doing that. I'm done with giving time and care but getting crap back.
Naruto: Seems like you wanted something really bad huh?
Sungii: Yeah, I spent this great deal of time on a...
Naruto: Oh, I already understand.
Sungii: Please! Tell me it ain't so! Because I'm very close to walking away.
Naruto: Well, no one ever said achieving anything was going to be easy. In fact if it was quite easy why would it be a dream in the first place? Didn't I explain this to you already? If anything was easy to do, then nothing would really be a dream worth seeking now would it?
Sungii: Yes! I know that! But this isn't even really the big picture, it's just a simple assignment for a simple class."
Naruto: Be it insignificant to you, then why do you feel so much for it?
Sungii: ...
Naruto: Not my point , but think about what you're doing for a sec.
Sungii: I've given it enough thought and I've already decided that this was the better...
Naruto: Better what?!
Sungii: Better choice...
Naruto: Really?! Because when I fell and was beaten gravely, did I stay laid on the ground and cry? Did I watch more and more of my friends pass away before my eyes? Did I let my dreams die? That sure is the easy way out!
Sungii: ...
Naruto: You just read Marjane's book! Did any of her family relatives give up on their dream of real freedom? Everyone fought hard for a peace they so desired. Even if it was on the enemy's side. Everyone had determination! People even fought for something they wanted to the very end...
Sungii: ...
Naruto: You need to hold on to what you cherish.
Sungii: ...
Naruto: Sighs, sometimes it's like talking to a brick wall with you. Can't you recall what I told you last time?
Sungii: ...
Naruto: This is just a pot hole along your road. This is just a lesson of humility and a test of determination. Learn from it, just as Marjane and I have.
Sungii: What do I?
Naruto: You got to have faith in yourself before anyone else is going to have faith in you, slowly but surely you'll see this coming out more. You've been given proof of that already. I dare you to reread those comments on your paper again, and tell me that there wasn't something that your instructor didn't especially cherish about you. Let that which was special to you give you reason to continue. Let that give you reason to pursue all that you dream of being. Let that tell you; one day no paper, assignment, test, task, lesson will ever be too much for you to fail! You'll see soon! (smiling)
