Whoa....just read my posting from yesterday...what a "bitch post". But unfortunately, it made me feel better. I was going to delete it, but I can't. They were my true feelings of that moment, and I can't deny them. I must acknowledge the good and bad parts of myself if I am going to remain whole.
Anyway, moving forward, I came across a letter of QMM's. It is dated 12/11/08, and was a school assignment. I guess they had to write a letter to Rachel in response to Rachel's Challenge. I hope QMM doesn't mind...I think he's getting a kick out of his work being "published". :)
Dear Rachel,
Hearing your story was very inspiring. In my letter I will explain how I plan to be an agent of change and what I want my legacy to be. I will enjoy being a better person.
How will I become an agent of change? I will be nicer to people I usually am not nice to. I will help people when they seek it. I will treat people the way I want to be treated.
What will my legacy be? I want to leave a legacy from everywhere I come from. When I leave Pond Road Middle School I want to have the school record in the mile and half mile. And an undefeated JV season and a new perfect Varsity season. In the next part of my life, I want to be known as a smart, intelligent, outgoing person.
I ACCEPT RACHEL'S CHALLENGE!
Sincerely,
Q Muzaffar
I just recalled as I was typing his letter that he had wanted to publish a story he was writing. I am going to start a new blog, and will publish all his work there. It will be open to everyone. His dream will come true.
Here's to the legacy of QMM and AMM.
