You notice that your friend is sad and gloomy. You find this odd because she is
the most intelligent in your batch, the president of the student council, and is the captain
of the school’s volleyball team. You approach her and ask what seems to be her problem.
She confides to you that a few days ago her father became very ill and may not be able
to provide anymore for the needs of the family. Also, her prospects of pursuing a college


degree is dim since her mother hinted that she will need to find works and help her
younger siblings finish their students. Based on our lesson on human intellect and free
will, what advise can you give to your friend?
