So I'm here with Laura, thank you for coming Laura
It is absolutely essential for everybody at home to know that we literally have nothing
set up
you didn't know you be here before yesterday, when I contacted you and asked
you if you could come down
now I know what you do for a job laura and that's the reason why you are here, but can you
tell everybody home
what it is you do for a job? Laura:I work as a voluntary events
charity organizer. Pete: so you do voluntary events for charity?
and that means you give so much to the people in the community that often
you forget about yourself. As a child I do know your circumstances, I know you
brought your brothers and your sisters up
and you helped bring you mother up and therefore as a child you probably neglected
Your own needs
wants and wishes
I'm going to ask you one question, but I don't want to pry into anything here
but if you had to explain how much of a childhood you had,
after you looked after everybody else, would say
it was a small, medium or large childhood? Laura: fairly small.
Pete: A fairly small childhhood, and again that's one of the reasons
why you are here. Now, can you do this for me, take a few seconds to do this, as I
don't want you to rush into it,
can you think maybe a wish or a dream you had has a child
that you never got, or that never came true Something you wished,
that you've never told anybody else, you have not written this down, you havent talked
to anybody else about this
you haven't thought about it for this moment, until moment, from years and years and
years ago....
you think you've got something?.......
yes! Now I just want to clarify for everybody at home
you've not told me this wish and I don't know absolutely anything
about this wish, I've not asked you to think of a wish right before this very
moment?
Laura: No. Pete: No, so let's just try something interesting. It's probably about 10 p.m.
So what I want you to do for me, is, I just want you to put your hands together like this
I want you to wish.. I want you in your mind to wish for this thing to come true.
Close your eyes and really wish for this to come true.....Ok open your eyes.
let's try this agin, you need to try a little bit harder. I really want you to get into this. Really
Close your hands and wish with all your heart for this to come true.
Now open your eyes. Do you know, I think there is just one element missing,
thats stopping this particular wish from coming true.
As you can see, there are a couple of stars in the sky, not very many.
I think because you've been good enough to provide the wish,
let me provide the star. Just take a look up there for me.......Laura: Oh my god!
Wow!
Pete: I think your getting a bit teary there.
I know everybody else at home cannot see that but can you tell 'em
what you have just seen? Laura: A shooting star Pete: A shooting star.
Laura: I've never seen one before. Pete: you've never seen one before?
ok I know this is slightly defeatist laura, but
I want to give you something back. Can you tell me
What is is you wished for as a child? Laura: Growing up I always had the Jacqueline Wilson books, but there
was always two missing, those were Bad girls and Double act.
Pete: So just to clarify for the camera, you always had the Jacqueline Wilson books
Laura: The whole collection. Pete: Apart from two books, and you've not managed to track these down now? Or you've just forgotten about
them until today
I just want to find out why you haven't gone out and got them?
Laura: I just never really found them. Pete: You never really found them..Ok. Laura, because you've been absolutely amazing to
everybody else in the community, I want to give you something back and I went out and erm..
(Laura Cries)
I found the book for you! Laura: Thank you. Pete: That's
yours to keep.
That's double act and erm... Laura and Pete: Bad girls.
By Jacqueline Wilson
Laura: I was always a skeptic when it came to anything in life
really but
I knew what pete did for a job, but I just thought it would be actors and everything
else but I'm
starting to believe it all now!
it was a shock looking up and seeing that shooting star because I've never,ever
seen one before, it was beautiful, it was one of the moments when you get butterflies
in your stomach, it was a really nice feeling.
nobody ever really knew what I wanted when I grew, so I am really shocked that I actually got what I always wanted
I've worked for charity and I have often
got myself down a lot thinking
dreams cant come true but it's just made me realize that wishes and dreams
can come true.
