“I am a story-teller, even a story-teller of renown. May I add now that I am not much to look at? No, I am serious. My face is hideous. A look at me reminds one of a little finger – brown - enlarged to the proportions of a human body, wrapped two thirds down with a cloth about the loins, the entire frame resting on two wobbly knees. I was born bald and not a single strand of hair has ever sprouted on this miserable head. Think of me as a faceless man; in fact, I would rather you think of me as just a voice.”

“Despite getting the student’s agreement and collective efforts, the underachievement reversal process may have no guaranteed success. Inconsistencies, such as a lack of belief in progress or conflicting interests, may hinder the underachievement reversal. Regular assessment and attention to behavioural changes are vital for addressing these challenges and refining the reversal strategy.”
