... growth group activity: ang paghahabol kay ruth ng isang kabaong walang laman ... (philippines, psychiatrist, psychologist, psychotherapist)

participants of today's growth group were a lively bunch of nursing students. one of them, ruth, highlighted this theme:

"as teenagers, we strive for independence from our parents. but independence from them shouldn't be equated with treating them shabbily or taking them for granted. despite the generation gap and the differences in beliefs and values, we can continue loving and respecting them in the same way we would want them to treat us." hmm, words of wisdom from ruth, who says that she gained the nugget of wisdom the hard way!

here i am with their professors.
