I had a terrible headache yesterday that I went home straight after work. I slept for a while and went to see Luis, my 8 years old friend who is also busy studying for their periodical exams. He is 8 but he is 5 years older when you talk to him. I am telling you, he is the smartest 8 years old I know. You can talk to him about Burma, why we are more blessed, why he wanted to finish school early and this list can go on until tomorrow. Serious.
When I got to their place, he hugged me. I was moved because that's the first time he did that and normally boys his age would usually stop being so affectionate and showing emotions. He gladly showed me his several 90 grades in his assignments and quizzes. But its not those outstanding grades that make me be proud of him, he has the kindest of hearts. You see, Luis grew up with almost nothing yet when he sees a beggar, he would ALWAYS give whatever he has left on his lunchbox. Hindi siya madamot with the things he possess.
I just love him to the max!
And the biggest surprise for the day was when he gave me a note he made daw during recess. This is really personal but I thought to share this and may we all be reminded that these kids will lead our country soon. I hope that the time will come and these kids will say that those who come before them were faithful and gave them a good fighting chance.
