When I was in SS2, a boy in my class always slept during lessons. Teachers called him lazy almost every day.
One afternoon, our maths teacher got angry and poured water on his desk to wake him up. The whole class laughed.
The boy didn’t say a word.
A week later, one teacher noticed his hands shaking badly and quietly asked him what was wrong.
That’s when we found out he worked night shifts at a bakery from 10pm till morning before coming to school every day.
Not because he wanted money for himself.
His mother was blind, and he was paying his younger sister’s school fees.
After that day, nobody laughed at him again.
Sometimes the people we judge the fastest are fighting battles they never talk about.
We’re watching Bayern and PSG go band for band, attack after attack. Enjoy this football while you can because tomorrow it will be like we’re watching a different sport.
Glad I completed the #londonmarathon today.
It wasn’t my best effort (no thanks to plantar fasciitis) but glad I pushed through and got to the finish line 😅
