O Captain, My Captain:
Good day Captain Draude. Today was a day of thought for me as I recently learned about the terrible predicament that just arose concerning the presently stuck submarine, and the heart-wrenching decision you are obliged to make. With a heavy heart, I am pleadingly writing to you that I may be included among the list of your chosen survivors which may include yourself, so that I may have the chance to continue with my young and industrious life.
Being only 16 years of age, I am still a young teenager. I have not grown enough to be able to reach my maximum potential yet in life. If I am given the opportunity to survive, I plan on being highly instrumental and beneficial to the community and the world at large starting from now and continuing in years to come. I am currently volunteering in the Penticton Regional Hospital where I do various activities like serving water to the sick patients and playing fun games with the senior citizens. I realized I have a purpose in the community just by seeing the priceless radiant and appealing look on the patients faces. I am also involved with a mini-awareness group whose main goal is assisting the less fortunate people because; everyone counts no matter the condition of their status. I am also highly involved in sports and athletics. Playing football (soccer) has been my passion since I was 7 years because, I always see the smile the team I play with and I put on the faces of different individuals and I want that to go on for as long as I live. I also joined my schools basketball team mainly because of the same reason given above and the fun I would get from it. These are some of the things I have achieved and I know I have so much to give.
Additionally, if my life is saved by you, I would continuously make my mother proud (My father died 5 years ago) for I am the only child she has. I have already begun by achieving those little things but I intend to keep it going as much as I can. After my secondary education, I plan on enrolling into a post-secondary institution and studying nursing then becoming a license practical nurse so I can still help people and work harder to become a Medical practitioner whose role is more enhanced in the health-care field. I believe that saving or improving the longevity of someone's life is the greatest satisfaction one can ever get. Being able to contribute more to the community in a positive way would make my life worthwhile. If I achieve most those goals I plan to support or start a foundation for the fallen comrades if I survive. The money may go into enhancing submarine utilities and emergency kits that could last for weeks, in case this situation were to repeat itself.
Finally, I thank you so much for having the time to read this plea. I know you expect a lot from your survivors and I will be elated if I was chosen to survive. On the other hand, if I fall short of the list the list of survivors, I wish the other survivors and probably yourself the best of luck in all future endeavors. I am without a doubt, and absolutely positive that you will be able to make the right decision concerning this miserable predicament.
Sincerely,
Eniola Obafemi
