Man who nearly took his life because he was asked to repeat a class shares his touching story

The harrowing tale of a man who came close to taking his own life because he was instructed to repeat a class is truly moving. @Crosseyednerd revealed that following his JSSCE, he was advised to enroll in the Commercial Class due to his capabilities.
