When I was in high school, I knew by reputation about an extraordinary young man.\xa0 He was one grade up \u2013 I was a sophomore, and he was a junior at Potomac Sr. High School in PG County Maryland.\xa0 He was president of his class and an award-winning track star.\xa0 He seemed to have everything, popular smart handsome and an athlete.\xa0 One evening in the basement of his home \u2013 this boy took his life.\xa0 The school was stunned.\xa0 With so many cases of self-inflicted death \u2013 there are no easy reasons why.\xa0 In this case we later learned that the young man had an inoperable brain tumor and that it had plunged him into a deep depression.\xa0 In today\u2019s show I speak to a talented artist and Pastor Just me Wan who wrote a song after a relative took her life.\xa0 I speak to Her about her music and herpowerful\xa0 message.\xa0
