Seymour Bernstein

Andrew: In you, Seymour, they see someone who didn't allow his suffering to define his life. And I think that any human being seeing another so exposed but so quietly brave is immensely encouraged. We all share the same vulnerabilities and fragilities, but very few of us decide to enact the deepest part of ourselves even though we all know that's where our true happiness lies. Seymour: They see me acting out triumph over adversity, and they see how much I love my pupils. We all have to find the right mentor. But we also have to take life into our own two hands and not totally depend on anyone else to save us. We have to save ourselves while learning as much as we can from the mentors that we choose to help us.
