Cameron Wilson
Cameron Wilson was
one of the greatest budding advocates and activist for human, and
in particular, female rights in history.His work has, although not greatly affected the world
today as we know it, helped society and no doubt the best of his
work is yet to come.Though he is not to
be judged by the quality of the start of his English Major Work, it
is clear that 99% of the time he knows what he is
doing.Greatly involved in Many
activites, he takes advantage of as many oppurtinities as
possible.He is also a Violinist, though
it must be seen to be believed.
Why Cameron is notable
Cameron Wilson is notable because he represents a new
generation.A generation of aware
youth.A generation where it is not
someone else's problem, but our problem now.
So, Cameron is showing the people of this world
that he represents a new generation, a generation that understands
and feels.He is an example, and should
therefore be part of this dictionary, just as Aesthop's Fables may
be, or the song of a famous artist.
History
He was born
in 1990 to a reasonably poor family in Sydney.His father, Mark Wilson, was a humble pilot working for
Qantas, while his mother
was a housewife attending her child.Cameron was a lonely young boy, his father was often
away and he had no siblings of which to speak.As a sufferer of autistic jealousy (in other words, he
wants to be autistic), he also had difficulty integrating himself
into modern society.Mostly due to his
annoying voice, slack clothes and disregard for personal
hygiene.
He has attended Knox Grammar School for 9 years of
his life, where he has studied Latin, English, Legal Studies,
Drama, Maths and Science.It was around
year 9 when his English teacher, Mr. Smith, introduced him to the
world of politics.He was intensely
interested in the rights of minority groups, and has studied the
Geneva
Convention and especially the violations by the US in certain
torture/prison camps.He intends to
infiltrate this camps, disguised (?) as a torture method, and then
undermine the system by which they run.His current worry is that the prisoners, once released,
will not want to follow such a hopeless looking person.
Once he
leaves Knox Grammar School, it has been said Cam intends to the
University of Sydney, where he will study Law.This was not his choice, as his father did not wish him
to fail in life, and pushed him into a degree which he did not
want.But after realising how he could
chnage the legal system and it's inefficenies.Naturally, after studying for 7 years, instead of going
straight into law, Cameron plans to still go and be an activist and
tour the country before settling down.Cam still wants to live the dream that Mr. Smith
introduced him to many years ago.
He is inspired by such figures
as Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela and
George Bush
(senior) Though he is more on the way to becoming someone like Dan
Quayle, Ralph Nader or Patrick Buchannan.
Cameron has been published many times in various
reputable sources around Australia such as Sydney Weekly Courier
and Sydney Morning Herald on widely ranging issues, going from
talking about the standard of Education taught in New South Wales to
why one says 'Many happy returns.'He has
also been rejected many times, but greatness comes from failure,
and by track records, he ought to be very VERY great, right?
Recent Work
Cameron, although a serious activist, has since
his early childhood developed a strange but hilarious sense of
human.He currently owns the domain
www.camwilson.org, and is underway trying to design a interactive
site that involves the user, but also educates them on human
rights, while making them laugh and realize that although the world
is a peaceful place contrary to popular belief.
Cameron has
often talked about how he was affected in his childhood by two
events, the death of his maltese - shitzyu dog, named Toby, and the
loss of his friend Nicholas Meyer in car crash at age 17 in
December 2004.
Some new events he is trying to raise awareness
of, aside from feminist and human rights, is the repressed
sexuality and personality of Christian teenagers and safety inside
the classroom.
Cameron currently resides in Sydney, and is
currently under-going his secondary education.
Speeches
Here are some of his speeches both for competitions but
also to raise awareness...
Crisis
Ladies and
Gentlemen.We have a
crisis.A real crisis.Not like a super tsunami.Not
like a lacklustre London bombing.That’s
right a real crisis.It’s
official.Jennifer Anniston and Brad Pitt
are no longer man and wife.
Almost had you going.But seriously, it seems like in today’s society
everything is a crisis.Eating disorders
are at an all time high, sex education hasn’t helped prevent STDs,
and Australia’s batting is at an all time low.Maybe it’s just me, or does it seem that everything
currently is a breaking point.And no,
that’s not just in Australia, it seems the whole world is filled
with turmoil.
I mean, look at Iraq.Yes, I know it’s a tired topic but it truly is a
crisis.A place ruled over by a guy with
a moustache who looks so evil that he must have weapons of Mass
Destruction.US President George Bush was
so convinced of his evilness that within a year after associating
Iraq with the Axis of Evils (something that sounds like a year 9
mathematic formula), he had invaded them, ignored the toothless
tiger that is the UN and overthrown their country.
How
convenient that oil-filled country that is Iraq had supposed
weapons of mass destruction in time for the US Oil Resources
Crisis.
Speaking of resources, we, the citizens of Sydney, are
currently in a water crisis.That’s
right, Warragamba dam is dying.And of
course, all fingers are pointed towards the guilty no doubt the
child-molesting public, definitely not the innocent law-abiding,
struggling to just raise a profit international
corporation.Nothing to do with large
amount of immigrants.Nothing to do with
We’re so wasteful that Sydney Water has to hire people in disguised
cars to check that we aren’t watering our dear
petunias.How 1984ish.
But wait,
there’s more.While we’re being watched,
we’re watching other people.Yes, ladies
and gentlemen, Big Brother is disgraceful.It is so surprising to the general public that a show
that involves 12 housemates in one house for 100 days who are all,
as the show’s producers put it, ‘sexy and single’ on the ‘Up late’
show commit such devious acts as hugging each other in the spa and
shaving their legs in the showers.This
calls for a federal referendum!This
calls for all reality television to be called off!Although that may not be much of a loss to most, we
need to stop this show from ever showing anything that has a sexual
innuendo ever.Even if it means ignoring
drug trafficking, immigration policies and cutting thousands of
jobs, it’ll be worth it.
So while the MPs were supposedly
watching Big Brother Up Late for ‘breaches of the television
viewing committee’, they obviously learnt something about racial
slurs and sexual promiscuity.Yes, you
all know I’m talking about John Brodgen.It’s an outrage!When the
state leader of the opposition says something about a retired state
premier’s wife, the whole country calls out in anger and
disgust.But when you call the current PM
something involving a posterior and a tongue, as a certain Mark
Latham did, you get world-wide acclaim and become federal
opposition leader.I mean it’s one thing
to sexually harass a women, but it’s a slightly dumber to do it to
a journalist.Well multiple
journalists.
John Brodgen decided to resign and I quote "I acted
dishonourably, and now is the time to act
honourably."And what honor it is to act
only after it gets into the public after three weeks, a
surprisingly long time after he did it in front of a crowd of
journos.
So cynical, it may be, but it seems that everything
today is made into a crisis out of nothing.The media feeds on events to get money, dominance and
over all power.Even with actual cry seas
occuring, such as Hurricane Katrina killing at least 50 and Liz
Hurley releasing another horrible clothing line, we are being
pumped with information about the New All Black’s Hakka and Bob
Dylan’s new album.
So, in my opinion, contrary to popular
belief, the world is a peaceful place.Wars and dictators come and go, fuel prices fluctuate
and people are born and die, but there will always be
us.The people of this planet, the people
who cause extinctions and pollution, but the people who feel, adore
and love.And with that, we, the human
race, will always be safe from crisis.
Idols
So
there I was, up on stage, with what it seemed like a million people
in front of me cheering.I put my
microphone back into my sweaty right hand and then I held it up,
and opened my mouth when…
I realized I still had to do my maths
work.Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I do
have a dream.Someday, I wish that I
could be famous.I wish like Robbie
Williams or Hugh Jackman, I could be up on stage or in a rock
concert.But helps me get there is
knowing that mere mortals like me have even made it.
Idols.Not like the
crappy ones that you see on television, but heroes.Someone you can aspire to be.Someone who has shown you the way to your hopes and
dreams.It can be anyone, and depending
on whom you are and what you want to be, it could be a man or a
woman.A true story or a
myth.Whether he or she is a chef or a
news presenter, everyone has someone who they can look up
to.
But why, you ask, do we have idols?To some, it may be a person who have made a heroic
journey through troubles and triumphs, through laughter and tears,
a journey so difficult that you cannot imagine anyone doing it, let
alone your self .Or to others, it may
who you want to be one day, your goal to be as good as Johnny
Wilkinson or as swim as fast as Ian Thorpe.
Or it may even be
someone you know and respect.
Let me ask you all a question,
have you ever been doing something so hard and difficult that you
have lost your way and broken.You stop,
and think that you can do no more.I can
tell you, I have.But one of the things
that will always help is a light.Someone
that you can hold on to or someone that helped you out of that
black hole of despair.
But not
everyone is a good idol, not because they choose not to be, but
because they send a bad image to people everywhere.A good example for this is Shane Warne.Let’s list.He did smoking
ads, and still smoked.He took drugs and
blamed it on his mom.He has had numerous
affairs.Statistically, if he had just
reached test wickets, and has had 97 scandals, approximately he has
had had one scandal for every 6 wickets he has gotten.
But aside
from him, pretty much everyone has a good attribute.
But
everybody has someone they wish they could be, or be
like.Ask your mom or dad, sister,
brother, friends or enemies.So, I
decided to do a little researching.I
asked my dad.Depressingly he replied
Pythagoras – a famous mathematician who invented the
lever.Understandably, he’s a maths
nerd.Hoping that I could savage my
speech with a decent one, I asked my sister – she said Stef from
Neighbours because she battled breast cancer.On the show.She says now she
wants to be a doctor or a soap actress.I
didn’t inquire further.
But it lead me to.Who is my idol?Thinking long
and hard, I thought I didn’t know.I
listed who I wanted to be, a funny smart guy.So I walked around, listening to my iPod.And then I realized.My idol
is Weird Al Yankovic, a hilarious parodist singer.It seems whenever I am down, I draw support from his
songs such as ‘Like a Surgeon’ , ‘9 Coronas’ and ‘The Night Santa
went crazy’.
So I think who I want to be and who my idol is
definitely corresponds.
People of the
audience, if you can take one message away from this ramble of a
speech, I hope you could take the message that even in today’s
society, were many of our idols are socialities, drugs addicts and
anorexics, I hope you know who you want to be, set that person in
your sights, and follow your dreams.
