HOLYOKE — When Kurt Faustin asked his audience at Holyoke Community College how they were feeling, a chorus of students replied. “Not so great,” they said.
Faustin, a motivational speaker and life coach, was leading an emotional intelligence workshop on Tuesday. One by one, students said they were hurt, stressed, bored, insecure and scared.
Second-year student Leniel Ramos of Westfield said the pressures of school, family and work are forcing him to freeze up.
