While the days turned into weeks, I saw my sister beginning and open more. She started to speak more regarding the feelings, and I listened closely, offering phrases of encouragement and aid. Both began to work on her schoolwork together, splitting it into into manageable chunks while finding ways to make it more interesting.
While the periods went by, I started to get glimpses of her world. I noticed that anxiety that gripped her every day, the fear of getting judged from the peers, plus the feeling of being overwhelmed by the schoolwork. I realized the fact that this was not just regarding not wishing to go to class; it was concerning feeling lost also alone. 30 Days with My School-Refusing Sister
