Do we deserve this?

Hey all,

The most perfect beings have the most imperfect meanings…

Well, don’t we all just love surprises? Top of the class in effort this week, and I’m chuffed to bits. It pretty much stunned everyone, including myself, but hey, my real friends were the ones who didn’t go ‘Oh my god, Tom got top of the table, how the hell did they do that?’ They were more like ‘Wahoo! Nice one my brother from another mother.’ Ha. So all in all, it’s been a pretty good second part of the week. But as the school week comes to an end, I’ve been given a few more things to write about, including some R.E inspiration.

‘Do we deserve this?’ Personally, I think it’s debateable. Do we deserve all this we have? Speaking as a kid, probably not…I have a lot of stuff, and in all honestly I don’t need it, I just want it. With adults it’s different, I mean, you worked for where you are today, whether you’re a bin man or a brain sergeant. It’s what you did in life to be there, so you, in theory, may well deserve it. But hell, this isn’t about Adults right? This is about me, and those around me, which, believe it or not consists of teenagers.

Right. I don’t know what your opinion on this is, but mine is that maybe we should do a bit more for charity. I watched a somewhat inspiring video about children across Africa the other day, and it gave me a lot to think about. 95% of the children I watched had AIDS. 95% god damn percent! But you know what got me the most. Every single one of them, were smiling! SMILING! Doesn’t it just make you think? When you lose your Ipod or break your phone, you get all grouchy and depressed. But should you? Be happy for what you have. I mean, our R.E teacher was telling us that, while in some sort of angry state, we should respect what we have and actually listen in class, stop talking. And, funnily enough, I agreed. I mean, these children in the poor parts of the world would give anything for an education, and here most of us are, chatting away through lessons, forgetting to do homework, leaving schoolwork till last minute, oh and believe me, I do it all the time. Maybe we should just let the teachers do their jobs, get a good education and make a difference to the world. I know that’s what I want to do, but do you?

Even though one man can make a difference, doesn’t mean we have to depend on him. Just imagine what would happen if we all made a difference. Think about it. I don’t always speak rubbish. I know I want to make a difference.

Yours,

Tom. F
