I’m Rocky. It’s hard to feel sad when everyone else is happy around you? Even if you are me. My life wasn’t the easiest it had ups and downs – more downs than ups -but I got here in the end. On my unicycle. I always wanted to be an entertainer. Everyone else told me I wouldn’t do it, I was useless. But I did.
It all started when I was 10. When my Maths teacher told me I was rubbish. Never liked her! From then on I knew I wanted to make other people happy, because I was sad, and now I’m living the dream. With content, laughing children surrounding me like the sea surrounds an island. I can believe that I make a difference. I’m not rubbish or useless and I CAN DO IT, no matter what anyone says – teacher or not.
I now live for the joy on children’s faces, their happy smiles and charming ways. And all because I am only happy when those around me are.
