open letter.

to all those people in authority,

we may not be the ones you expect us to be today. we may be the ones that are actually the opposite of what you expect. we may be pompous. loud. selfish. self-righteous. and whatever negative traits that you can describe us.
we may not be the ones you think we MUST be. the cream of the crop. the model. the ones to look up to. no. we may not be the smart and holy and caring and whatever positive traits that you want us to have (or imbibe to us).
we may not have in us the true concept of the pilot class, but that doesn't mean that we couldn't change.
yes, we may be challenging authorities, but we don't even have the intention of doing it. we may not have the qualities of a pilot class, but that is because we're also preoccupied with other problems. sometimes we're misunderstood. sometimes we're over judged.
this may be the umpteenth time we've said this, but... please give us another chance. another chance to prove ourselves. to show you that we could change for the better.
if you still believe in us, please trust us. if you don't, then i would be very puzzled at the fact that you even bothered to waste your time reading this letter.

with care,
a student
