My dad's friend and I were talking on the phone when we finished I returned the phone to my dad. Not knowing it was still on speaker phone she said "Oh gosh! Sean that was Perry?! She sounds like a little girl over the phone!"

"Whether you believe it or not, night. Love you."
Surprisingly enough, even after all of the yelling and cursing... I did.

I was once a child laborer.  

Every year, Friends Select hosts the lower school bake sale and bazaar.  It happens, without fail, the Wednesday before winter break.  For months before, every student must help create crafts to sell for a few cents to their peers.  In 2nd grade, Tr. Rita informed us that we would be making scented pillows.  We spent a few hours everyday sewing rectangular pieces of fabric 3/4 of the way closed, turning them inside out and then stuffing them with cotton a potpourri.  We were given no compensation for all of our blood, sweat and tears.  In fact, I had to buy my own pillow a few weeks later.

I recently found the pillow, after 10 years of sitting in my drawer.  It didn't smell like potpourri anymore.    

Recently, I was involved in a debate over Skype with two kids from Jordan. We were able to utilize technology in a completely new way for an activity that has become relatively monotonous over time. We debated the topic: The United States should actively spread democracy in the middle east. When you think about it on a surface level, this is just really really cool. We were able to learn and collaborate with some of the smartest people around the world. Our opponents were named the top debaters in a region including Kuwait, Lebanon, Jordan, etc. We had relatively little background knowledge when this was assigned to us, and our opponents live this every day. Aside from being extremely well prepared, they were able to apply the knowledge they have amassed through their daily lives and apply it to the debate. Although we were definitely outmatched, we held our ground. This was able to challenge us in a way that simply debating Philadelphia schools wouldn't be able to.
