we had an assembly about nelson mandela this morning and i really liked it. normally assembly is boring as hell but i like it when we learn or hear about things, people, events that matter and and are important and relevant. i think it's crazy that i then just saw the above picture (of a guy washing the sign off a university wall) on my tumblr dashboard. stuff like that happens a lot in my life. a history teacher took assembly this morning and demonstrated how madiba touched so many lives and influenced so much. i had tears in my eyes at one point because amy winehouse singing free nelson mandela was played and so much death is the first thing that came into my mind. i love her little quirks, like how she kept gripping her skirt as she sang. :-) i don't think there can ever be another nelson mandela and i hope no one tries, but more importantly that such a figure is never again needed.
That's really cool, I wish we had something like that at my school!
