text: If you can remember what it's like to be a child, to see the world, as my peers and I do, you would understand where I come from when I say these things. Our lives aren't difficult, but they soon will be, from high school, to college, to working, right now is the only time we are truly free from the bonds of labor. So please Principal, please let us enjoy our youth to the fullest, and do not make us have to perform community service, without our consent. I'm sure many children at our school would be grateful if your decision reflects the feelings of yourself, but of the entire school community. Thank you for reading this letter.
