Ugh...

[perididdle]

I feel really, really shitty now. The thing our school was doing, raising that money...my class was just doing it for that pizza party. Part of me was, too. We just wanted to win, so we gave our money without even thinking about who and what it was for. And we were thinking that if we lost it'd be so horrid...we weren't thinking about how good $423 was for the cause. We just hoped it was enough for our class to win, to be top dog.

Our school raised over $2,300 dollars for a thing that was called Pennies For Paitents. We raised that much because all of us wanted pizza. We're so damn selfish...

Now all I can think is this - our school raised more than two thousand dollars for leukemia patients. Two thousand dollars that is going to a cause. Two thousand dollars that we should have given up willingly, and WITHOUT the incentive of a party. Two thousand dollars that is now part of saving lives and helping families...

Two thousand dollars that DIDN'T GET THERE SOON ENOUGH.

I feel like trash. It hurts to think about it...how stupid we were...how much we take life for granted...

I'm sorry Brendan.
