Seeing some of the kid's parents and actually interviewing them, was quite overwhelming. They went for hours talking about parenting, while most of their kids during interview talked about life being difficult in general.
Here are some lines from our interview which I found interesting:
***
mom: she was really mad at me for sending her to the prom last night. I told her to let it go already, before.. uhmm, ganito kasi yan.
ANGER, is the starting point. Initially, we get angry, pag napipikon tayo,..kahit sa mga petty things. Then if you let it stay overnight, it becomes UN FORGIVENESS. Day three, it becomes BITTERNESS. Later on, it becomes BITTER JUDGEMENT, until it grows BITTER ROOTS.
So when you come to think of it, lahat yan, sa ANGER lang nagsimula. Now, when it grows roots, it's harder to let go. Kasi you'll need to asses now, ang dami mo nang conditions just to forgive yung isang bagay na galing lang sa anger, diba?
Now my daughter was telling me last night, "mom, I think I've grown roots." (laughter)

Kid 1: (on writing a book) I think I don't want to write it anymore.
Us: Why is that?
Kid 1: because I don't feel like writing anymore.
Us: Because of?
Kid 1: because of other things. It's not me anymore. Mom wants me to write it, as if everything was that simple.
Us: but last year, you were so excited about the book.
Kid 1: Because I never knew it was gonna be that difficult.
***
Kid 2: (on going down the zip line) I was watching 9 kids go ahead of me, and then I started crying. So when I went on the zip line, I was in a depressed mode all the way down.
Us: where do you think did the fear come from?
Kid 2: heights?
Us: What did you feel after the activity?
Kid 2: I thought it went too quickly. And if I had to do it again, I would. Because I know what the worst is like.

World Stage is indeed a daily breakthrough. =)
