Don't pay attention to what I'm saying. Talk to the people sitting next to you. Look outside and daydream about how much fun it's going to be when you go to the park later. Don't care about what these people are saying to you. You're a kid, so act like it. Play video games. Pretend to be a dinosaur. Play dress up. Do what you want. Don't be in a rush. The world sucks once you get out of here. Love it for now.
I can't think of anything else to say in my speech. I'm sure I listened to speeches when I was in kindergarten that was all about how amazing the world is, how I could do anything and everything if I put my mind to it. I also got the speeches from teachers about the future and how to obey people in charge and how to do my work on time cause if I don't I'll end up on the street and die alone. I don't remember any of those speeches, even though I'm sure I got them. At that age I was so happy. Anything bad that happened to me sucked briefly for a moment, and then I moved on. Nothing hurt me too badly. It wasn't until I was older and spiteful that I started to look BACK at those times and get angry over them. I don't want to be the prophet to their revelation, because I don't think they should even have one yet. I don't want to open them up to the world out here. I want them to stay as young as they can for as long as possible, because I know there are times where all you want to do is get older. I don't know how to tell them that in a way that they haven't heard before, because I'm sure they have. And I'm sure I was told it too at that age.
