The other day I posted my "This I Believe" essay. Now I want to share the "This I Believe" essay that a kindergartner from Austin, Texas wrote. It's easy to feel jaded about this world of privilege that we all live in. Tarak McLain restores my hope that maybe, just maybe, things will work out. Our world needs more thinkers like him. And Tarak, I couldn't agree with you more that everyone is weird in their own way. But unless I absolutely have to, I really don't want to wake up early. It feels lovely to turn off the alarm and go back to sleep. Almost as good as taking a dog nap in the middle of a dismal afternoon. Even a seven-year-old doesn't know everything; still and all, my guess is that he knows a whole hell of a lot more than most 600-month-olds...
