Most of them carried what they needed to survive school. To make their teachers and friends proud. To make their parents proud.

Some played sports. Some of them enjoyed the sports others were fulfilling their parents dreams.

When winter comes, they carry jackets, gloves and hats. Some forced by their parents others because they are cold.

Some carry balloons and desserts to celebrate one year closer to their deaths.

Most of them worry about their grades and about how people judge them based on their grades.

Most of them feel entrapped by their parent's expectations. They worry about what their parents think about them.

They fear rejection.

But they always know that it is going to be okay. That there is meaning to their existence, That they contribute to the world.

They carry the knowledge that ¨life goes on, and you may contribute a verse.¨- Walt Whitman.
