«Transform this pain into a life lesson» La Nuova Sardegna

Olbia Gabriele Pattitoni, the 17-year-old from Olbia who died following a motorbike accident, was attending the fourth year of the Amsicora Agricultural Institute in Olbia. His classmates and the school director are in shock Gianluca Corda who entrusted a reflection to social media together with the message of closeness to the parents. Here is a summary of his long post in which he addresses the students directly: «A dramatic event that leaves even us adults breathless and speechless, in the difficulty, for which, for you, it becomes impossible to find meaning. An inexplicable drama that only faith, for those lucky enough to believe, lends a hand to our fragility, avoiding making us fall into despair. But you must try, I know it is not easy, to transform this moment of great pain into a great lesson. That of loving your life even more, with responsibility and seriousness. Loving her in all her moments, together with the affection of your family, your companions and friends. Give more and more value to the beauty of being together with each other in the right ways, even at school, with seriousness in studying, for the construction of your project for life. Guard your life, protect it. Nothing is of greater value, even when you delude yourself, or are deluded, that there may be moments of fun that are worth risking. Gabriele, who would have completed the fourth year of our agricultural institute, gives each girl and boy this task.”
