Just found out some sad news...
When I was working at Middle Swan Primary School last year, there was a young boy (still at high school) who was doing a prac with the sport's teacher. He was really nice and he also was one hell of a role model for the children.
He was of Aboriginal Descent, but showed all the children that did not mean he had to be a drunk, drug addict, or have an attitude anything that is usually associated with Aboriginals (especially in that area).
Last weekend, there was a car accident not too far from where Jami and Mum live, that took the lives of two teenage boys, and left 3 in critical conditions. He was one of the ones to die.
I found out today while reading the newspaper.
It is so sad. He had such potential for the future. He was going somewhere, and he was making a difference. He made so much difference to some of those kids, that I don't think even he would have realised. He inspired them.
I worked with him. I spoke with him. I joked with him. I believed he would be a person who would one day help mend the racist division between black and white. I guess I was wrong.
I am going to pray for him for 70 days, as my religion beckons. Mum is going to see if she can find out when the funeral is for me, and if I can, I am going to go. He was a decent man, and the world is that little more poorer having lost him.
Rest in Peace Aubrey Ryder.
