Hmmm Jamal guess what? Wireless is just a stone’s throw away. I remember when you went in Year 9 for the first time at Hyde park. Can’t believe it’s just here by our door step. Missing you so much, I can hear the music loud and clear from Crystal Palace Park, bet you would have gone, Drake performed yesterday. I have tried to speak to your friends that you went to Wireless with. We miss you so much Jamal. Trust you are resting well. Love you loads ❤️❤️❤️
Jamal's 23rd Birthday

Since year 7 Jamal and I were obsessed with getting the 100 tie which is a tie given to students who had represented the school in various events. It was now year 10 and we had no idea how to get this tie but we knew we wanted to be the first in our year to get it. Jamal being popular and having links with the olders found out how to get this tie before me. Turned out we had to get a form from the headmaster. So without me knowing he went to the headmaster to get this form. Bear in mind, Jamal and I were kind of jokingly competing to get this tie and be the first person in our year to have it. He came back with three forms, one for him, one for me and one for our other friend. For Jamal it wasn’t enough that he stood on that stage by himself, he wanted all his friends to succeed alongside him and that we all elevate each other.
