Comrade, keep Going

One evening on a university campus, a student teacher walked behind three fellow students on their way home. Two had shopping bags. One had nothing and was speaking bitterly about her parents.

He understood the hunger. He had lived it. Thirty days without a single shilling. Three days on black tea for every meal. Two trousers for an entire year. He had been scammed, had rebuilt himself, and had learned to design, to write, and to earn from almost nothing.

But he had also learned something deeper. About gratitude. About parents who give everything they have even when it is not enough. About the quiet friendships that keep you going. About peer pressure and the HELB loan and the loneliness that campus never warns you about. About the kind of person that four hard years quietly build you into when you are not looking.

Comrade, Keep Going is an honest book for every university student who is struggling and smiling at the same time. It does not tell you it is easy. It tells you it is possible. Because it is.
