Twenty awesome grade 7 students in Me to We walked for water on Thursday, May 24th, 2018 during their lunchtime. Each of them committed to collecting $25 in pledges. Twenty-five dollars gives one person water for life.
1. I am proud of this because…
I never walk a full lap around the school, without having to take a break. I’m not a big fan of exercising, and I dread to do it daily. I would rather sit on the couch each day, with chips on my lap, and the screen on, but I am proud of myself and my other peers for walking with 2 heavy milk jugs/buckets, because I wanted to experience what the girls in Africa have to go through everyday-walking 8 or more hours a day for collecting DIRTY water…without going to school. I am proud to say that I’ve walked 10 laps with the outcome of having a freaking,sore back, shoulders, legs, arms, but I haven’t screamed yet, but I feel like we need to experience the toughness of it all.
2. Something new I learned and understand better…
I understand what (mostly) girls go through on a daily basis, and the dark pain they have to suffer everyday, without a negative attitude and compliant. That they don’t have a chance to go to school, I’m realising that even the most important, basic things are what sadly some people don’t have. My heart goes all out to those girls!
3. My biggest challenge was…
WALKING! You know what, I can’t even carry my backpack up the stairs. Therefore, carying 2 heavy milk jugs around the school, but somehow I mange to do…without dieing.
4. I still have questions and uncertainties about…
I don’t have any questions right at the moment, but maybe I will have some pop into my head soon.
