Ben, you did a good job summarizing the experience. The kid seems to have his heart in the right place, wants to self-improve and stated multiple times he was willing to do whatever was needed to help; but I had difficulty interviewing him because he couldn't hold a conversation really. I hope the best for him, but his situation is indeed depressing.
