I'd Rather Go Blind | Playing For Change

ETTA JAMES WOULD BE PROUD OF THEM  FOR SURE..... HEART AND SOUL ONLY. TAKE A LOOK ON THE LYRICS:

Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talkin'
Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl'
When I saw you and that girl walkin' around

Whoo, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy
Then to see you walk away from me, child, no

Whoo, so you see, I love you so much
That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no

Whoo, whoo, I was just, I was just, I was just
Sittin here thinkin', of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah

Whoo and baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy
Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Whoo, baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind...

ABOUT ORGAN DONATION

MY WILL

When my hour comes, do not attempt to introduce artificial life into my body by the use of a machine. Instead, give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby’s face or love in the eyes of a woman. Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused  nothing but endless days of pain. Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week. Take my blood, my bones, every muscle and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.    

    Explore every corner of my brain. Take my cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that, someday, a speechless boy will be able to shout as his team scores a goal and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her window.

     Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow.

     If you really want to bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses, and all prejudice against my fellow man.

     Give my sins to the Devil. Give my soul to God.

     If you shoud wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you. If you do all I have asked, I will live forever.

                                                         

(from “To Remember Me”, Robert N.Test)

After reading the WONDERFUL text "My will" adapted from Robert test´s, the students were supposed to write a paragraph about their thinkings... here it goes:

 I totally agree with organ donation. It is a way to save a life for somebody who really needs it. This shows kindness to our fellow man. For example, a man who has a family and kids to care, needs some kind of transplantation, if you donate you will saving not just him but all the family who needs him. When I die, I do not mind that my organs to be donated.         Wendel Ricardo  

Six Deaths and a Secret

These traillers are part of the project "Luz, Câmera...action" made in  2010  by a group of students from High School and they were  based in Shakespeare. Needless to say I loved them.

BUSY

I have been too busy to write or post anything...I´m finishing a course at Unesp/Redefor, correcting more than 500 tests and closing the results, reparing things at home and arranging everything to stop coordination next year. I have lots of students´works to post but I´m afraid it will take a little bit more time to do it.
