00:00I was in the car, staring at the window. My parents come to take me home.
00:11From school back to our tiny apartment. Once again back to my good old textbooks.
00:23I read my chapters, reading and reading. Memorizing by rote. Repeating verses. Culping pages of my trusty history book. Learning
00:40all that is written by heart.
00:43I am a very good student. Earning my grades with hard labor. I am top of my class. I am
00:51my grades myself. Or so I thought until I discovered football.
00:57And kicked the ball to the goal post with my friends. Oh, with my friends they taught me studies are
01:03not everything.
01:04But then my grades started falling. Parents angry. Teachers began to have a frown on their faces. Classmates cheered me
01:17on as I kicked the ball.
01:20From goal post to goal post. Goal post became all.
01:24I had to repeat a year. Because I failed school with a tear. A tear from my right eye. Sobbing
01:32good grades. Goodbye. Goodbye.
01:34Then a classmate came. Made me feel shame for playing football all year long. When I should have studied all
01:41along.
01:46Go to school regularly he said. With good advice and counsel he spoke.
01:52No running in the corridors he uttered. With regret he made me realize. How I have failed.
02:06To perform my duties towards my school. Towards my parents and teachers. Most of all towards myself. And towards society.
02:16Yeah, I realize.
02:19Harsh the realization is. Oh, how harsh is the realization is. Oh, how harsh it is. To know I could
02:23have done better. Not that I couldn't but didn't.
02:26So many goals I made. In the football field. So many goals I've skipped at school. Homework and all.
02:35if I hadn't a fifty friends to misguide me and so if I had one good friend like
02:44he is and three more like him I wouldn't have fallen in my studies wouldn't have
02:49to repeat a grade would have risen to the top yeah to the top of the class
02:55made my grandma proud put a smile on father's face made my teachers happy not
03:03a grade I'd repeat vegetables I eat milk I drink what a good kid I am if only I
03:13studied harder I'd be better oh I'd be so much better so I advise you to pick the
03:21right friends people better than you whose actions are nice and sweet and
03:27worthy of imitation if you have friends who are worse than you in studies in
03:33sports in anything be his guide lead him and scold him if he makes a mistake so I
03:42realize
03:44good friends chat better friends play best friends provide help but the bestest one
03:51sculled in council if even one of my fifty footballer friends uttered a harsh
03:58word about my poor school grade this would have never happened and I would join my
04:04classmates in the next grade so I decided I would study hard and become a role
04:09model for others and I would stretch out a helping hand to any student who
04:15who performs worse than me in studies
