There are a few people who can draw a map of the way I process life but others may find themselves lost in my mind. For this passage, I’m just going to ramble on about everything and anything that comes to my mind so here is a warning: I may not make sense at times but this is a way for me to make sense in my head, this passage will go off topic more than a couple of times, and this can end up becoming a rant. As you know for months I have been struggling with my future. Where will I end up? What route will I take? How will I get there? When will I get there? I have no clue of what is ahead of me and my altercation is that I always need a game plan; however, I am slowly processing in my mind that I cannot map out everything in my life. While my future goals are changing, I always have one goal that is my ultimate purpose to life; I am going to make a difference in this world and change the lives of others. I honestly thought becoming a doctor would do that for me, but I recently came to the consensus that everyone changes lives, friends, family, teachers, and even strangers. I always talk about the woman at Wawa who manifested her appreciation of kind gestures, teachers who have allowed me to grow, and friends who taught me more about myself than I can ever learn anywhere else. They all changed my life. They made a difference.
A hero: people constantly think of soldiers who fight in
war, firefighters, police officers, and doctors. These stereotypes of a hero
made me believe that pursuing these careers in the future will allow me make a
difference. That was indeed a façade of my reality. I am none of these things
yet, I am told I am making a difference in the lives of others and I truly
believe that I am. I am not trying to blow my head up because I am the way I am
because of the people who inspire me and motivate me. Who’ve lives am I
changing; my friends, my family, the people around me, and even people in other
countries. What am I doing to make a difference; I tell people to never lose
hope and I believe in people when they do not believe in themselves. I tell
them to dream big because I absolutely 100% believe that anything is possible
as long as one sets their mind to something and put all their effort into
everything. You will never achieve anything if you do not try. When am I making
a difference; now. Maybe I shall lecture and give presentations about how
change illustrates power and unification? Become a spokesperson?
Next topic----- the punctuation in this does not make any sense
at all right now, but that’s okay, I’m loosening up and letting my mind roam,
it needs the relaxation. Teachers? I can name every single teacher I have ever
had since kindergarten. Mrs. Davis was my Kindergarten teacher who told me not
to write my name in cursive. Throughout the years every single teacher has
taught me something about life. One has taught me to never give up; another has
taught me comfort, others have taught me that there’s a deeper meaning found in
EVERYTHING, and so much more! Maybe a teacher? Ehhh…kinda, sorta thinking about
it but….what makes me happy you may ask?
Well the first thing that pops up in my mind is passion. I
have no idea how much I mention passion in my blog but its because it is
important for me to maintain. Without passion I have no purpose because passion
enables me to build excitement over little things such as finding beauty in the
moon so I can photograph it or the way the sun reflects against a puddle as it illuminates
several colors and mirrors the sky. I love everything about life and its
because I am passionate about photography. Wanna see life through my lens? Well
let me explain to you what I live by. I believe that everything happens for a
reason and if something bad happens, take it as a lesson because you will learn
that no matter how hard the barrier you are facing at this moment, the next one
will always be your toughest struggle but life goes on and you will make it
through as long as you believe. Turn your can’ts into cans and see how much you
can accomplish. A LOT! Next thing I want you to remember is always look at what
you have and not what you don’t have. The things that you love most are the
simple things in life that you take for granted. This is what keeps me going. I
believe everything gets better because it does. Blunt? Oblivious? Optimistic?
Dreamer? In the end, I am just me.
