In this life of materialistic world, it seems true service
and love for human was overshadowed. We are always striving for a better in
career as well as in financial. When I was young, I really wanted to be a
mother and dreams of a kids of my own. A simple community of what I called a
family. As I grow older and some of my siblings had already started their own
family. I left alone, felt lonely and
envied them. However, their struggle in life, and stress in raising kids scared
me. I still felt, I should have deserved to have my own. Whom I can take care
of and give all my passion and energy while I’m still in 30’s. I thought to myself that I will be the best
mom in the world when I have kids. No matter how hard and overwhelming raising kids
in this generation, I will never regret being a mother of my two daughters.
They gave me happiness, and self-worth o in this life. I think one of my
mission in this world is to raise a god loving, strong and productive kids.
Working with children here in America added purpose in my
life. I envisioned myself in the future looking out and helping young children
in different parts of the world. I would journey first on my own country because
lots of majority kids there are poor. They didn’t get a chance to go to school,
and their parents are struggling to meet their ends. Knowing their situations, it’s
understandable that they could not send their kids to school. I would go in
those areas that hardly reach by government aides. I will reach out those
parents and educate them on the importance of education in children’s lives.
They need to learn new things, enjoy their childhood, socialize and be exposed
to different school materials outside their home. I imagined seeing kids’ faces
with excitement, awe and pure joy. Parents finally felt that there are people
out there, who is willing to go extra mile to help poor community like them. I
will feel valuable that I felt so much accomplishment and proud of what I had
done to this people. And I will always be grateful to the creator, who gave me
a chance to experience this wonderful feeling of happiness by helping and giving
people real joy that money cannot buy.
I wish to be remembered as a warm and true helpful person. I
want to be recognized as a philanthropist who has open heart to all young
children around the world. Who touched their lives and has a big impact in
their daily lives. In my own simple way of true service to humanity, it will
give them mark that whatever status in your life, you deserve to be treated
fairly, decently and live peacefully. And there are people out there, who will
give their skills, service and life just to reach out those who really in need.
Their true purpose in life is to offer their life in mission that will change
the perception of the world as cruel place to live. There are more people who
was sacrifice and love for humankind was way beyond compare.
And that’s what I want to be remembered.
Arleen,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. This theme keeps coming up in your work and you are clearly committed to the cause of raising your kids and other children.
What I like most about your work is your honesty. You take the time to carefully select your words and construct your sentences so that every sentence is true and heartfelt. There are no wasted sentences or meaningless "fluff". You craft your truth well.
This is great work. Heartfelt, honest, and well written.
