My normal life

After my Pilgrimage I am getting back into my normal routine. School. At the moment my life revolves around school, which I have many different opinions about. I go to one of the best schools and I am very grateful for that but I feel slightly board. I know it sounds silly, I learn heaps and I am always interested in discovering new things and having lots of adventures but I still have this feeling of a normal life... I do not want a normal life, I want to do more. I know that I have to finish school, and of coarse that is my first priority before I really start my life but I am kind of getting a little tired of school. I have no trouble with my grade I get B to A+ oh but except for maths but that is not my problem, maybe it is because I have done an extra year of school, (I repeated year 6) but I just don't know.

I don't know. Why? Why am I feeling like this. I thought it must be a faze that will pass like every other feeling but so far, no. Maybe I'm just a normal teenager living a normal life and this is how it goes, listen to One Direction and be a rebel, but I don't want to be a "normal teenager", I do love One Direction but still, that is plane boring, I want to be an individual. I just wish that the next four and a bit years would go fast so I can finish school and step into the world and make a difference.  

I think it must have been the trip to Europe. The Camino changed me in so many ways. It really opened my eyes to what is out there and how amazing the world is. I grew up and now I just want to do something with my life. I know, I'm still too young and I definitely need to finish school and I am determined to. 

So the little difference I can make as a fourteen-year-old, nearly turning fifteen on the twenty-eighth of August, (just thought I'd add that in there!) is I can help fight global hunger. I have always wanted to help the unfortunate people in poor countries, so for the second year in a row I have decided to do the World Vision 40 Hour Famine! Well, actually I have already done it and very successfully. I did not eat food for forty hours, I did not use technology,(no phone, computer or TV) and I did not sit or sleep on any furniture, so I slept on the floor. I did this all to get a feeling for how many people live in their day to day lives. I got many cash donation from my kind neighbours and friends but I have not yet gotten any on-line donations, so if you would life to sponsor me and donate money that goes to a wonderful cause to help starving children in Ethiopia, click this: https://www.worldvision.com.au/Community/Famine/PreviewProfilePage.aspx
