Sam · chairing
We are here to close Brian's plan. Brian died in August, in a motorcycle accident. He was twenty. His plan closes because it did what it set out to do. As we always have, we begin with his words.
-
Brian · in his own hand
- How to calm your mind
- How to train your mind
- How to have an extraodinary mind
- How to meditate
- How to be calm all the time
- How to mak a Dent in the universe
- How to defy convention and become truly limitless
- The true meaning of god
- How to break free a rule that hold you back
-
Tony · Dad
After his operation he stayed in the house for a while, and I was worried about him. He asked for a skateboard for his birthday. He said he needed new runners and clothes, and I said I would buy them if he used it. He went out, and he made great friends. To my delight, and his.
-
Mr Reyes · SENCo who held the plan through school
In the year of his operation he scored full marks in English. Both of those were Brian, in the same year.
-
Dr Okonkwo · GP
His leg was mended with a plate and screws when he was eleven. It carried him back outside.
-
Ajarn Pensri · Personal tutor, BA Economics
He chose his own road to economics: a year teaching himself, the GED, Payap, then Chiang Mai University.
-
Dana · Brookmere SEN caseworker
The outcomes in his plan were met. The council ceases the plan under section 45, because it worked. Every page of his record goes to his family.
