Death of a College Student I was having some trouble in my Physics class; I just couldn't understand some of the things I was being taught. I decided to go to office hours to try to learn directly from my professor. Even in office hours, the other students were much better than me, and I was constantly getting questions wrong. The professor noticed my frustration and took me up to the roof for a private chat. He took me by the shoulder, and said that I had a lot of potential here. Then the rat-bastard shoved me off the roof!
