Message from an 11-year-old about uni made my eyes leak a bit

OK, I admit I’m a soppy git, but I just got sent this message from the Transformation Trust as feedback after speaking at their huge Rock Assembly at the O2 Arena the other day. This wonderful charity gives children from underprivileged backgrounds the chance to do things they wouldn’t otherwise. (See my Opening a rock concert in front of 16,000 blog for more).

Today was an amazing day! When I first got into the O2 Arena I saw lights, lights and more lights! It was fantastic! All the acts were fantastic but Chipmunk was the best! I was so happy to hear that anyone can go to university because my mum doesn’t have much money and I don’t see my dad at all.

I love singing and dancing especially hip hop. I used to go to Zoo Nation but it was too much money. I am going to try really hard in my new school as I want to do well and go to university so I can have a good job like some of the acts on stage."

My eyes got very wet when I read it – must be allergies.
