Scary Letter to a Father

Posted by Farooq Yousuf On November - 12 - 20091 COMMENT

A father passing by his son’s bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to ‘Dad..’ With the worst premonition he opened the envelope with trembling hands he read the letter.

Dear Dad:
It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mom and you.

I have been finding real passion with Stacy and she is so nice.

But I knew you would not approve of her because of all her piercings, tattoos, tight motorcycle clothes and the fact that she is much older than I am. But it’s not only the passion….Dad, she’s pregnant.

Stacy said that we will be very happy.

She owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of having many more children.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn’t really hurt anyone. We’ll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with the other people that live nearby for cocaine and ecstasy.

In the meantime we will pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Stacy can get better. She deserves it.

Don’t worry Dad. I’m 15 and I know how to take care of myself.

Someday I’m sure that we will be back to visit so that you can
get to know your grandchildren.
Love, Your Son, John
PS. Dad, none of the above is true. I’m over at Tommy’s house.

I Just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than a Report card - That’s in my center desk drawer.


I love you.
Call me when it’s safe to come home.

TOMS: World’s Most Beneficial Shoes

Posted by Farooq Yousuf On October - 29 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

 

World’s Most Beneficial Shoes - TOMS
 
Saw this short documentary on CNBC the other night and I was totally amazed at this idea! Blake Mycoskie, an entrepeneur went to Argentina and saw how majority of the children who live in poor neighborhoods have no shoes. So it gave him an idea, that if he started a shoe company that sold Alpargatas (an Argentinian inexpensive cloth shoe) and for every shoe they sold they would donate a pair to a child. Most people he told the idea to were pessimistic but he kept at it and now TOMS sells shoes worldwide and is providing free shoes to children around the world! What a great cause :)

Heard about this documentary on NPR, looks very interesting. It shows the story of how a Chicago inner city high school sends all of it’s students to college for 30 years.

The Providence Effect, a major new theatrical documentary will change the way America thinks about teaching our children. It captures how one school in the inner city of Chicago, Providence St. Mel, has created the method and the environment where children learn to think and to overcome social barriers, family circumstances and financial pressures to become high achieving students.
