“My Mission in Life”
Years have passed. I am now in my first year college, facing the new challenges.
In my childhood days, I grew up not having to wait for everything that is because I was contented of what they have to give me. I made some arguments with my parents. I hid in my room every time I was asked new people. I could not stand alone on my own.
But then, with a twist of fate everything had changed. I had to enter the new world, a world full of trials and journey, I had to sacrifice. I needed to be on my own in order to survive. I needed to grow up.
I entered the new world where I have to rely on myself to make certain decisions and to make sure that those decisions where right. It is not easy, having to seek for the answers alone to be independent. I gained through this my confidence and self-esteem. Then. I was lucky to adjust with the new environment easily. But, there was a time when I realized that absence makes the heart grow fonder and the importance of a person. I miss my family a lot. And then, I came to think of all those changes that came now into my life. I finally understood that sometimes, we have to hold on but sometimes we have to move on.
I have learned so many new things. I came to know many processes and reasons why certain things happen. But I do not know everything yet. I realized that there is more to know because there is one thing I want to know myself better. I could understand other people’s feelings or care about them. Maybe because I still have to understand my own feeling’s first before I could understand other people’s feelings. My mind maybe matured but my heart was not. Now, everything is clear to me. I have to find myself… what my goal is, what my dreams are, and where my heart is..
Once I was very dependent, not knowing where to go and not knowing what to do without my parents, friends, and relatives. But now, I have emerged from their shadows, to be what I really am and to act as an individual in this world.
While travelling on the road full of trials, I had fallen so many times. But I learned to stand up and continue to travel. Changes have played a big part in my life. If not for them, I would not learn everything that I know now and I would not have been what I am now. Still, I will journey to the path that my destiny planned for me and I know that in one part of the road, I will finally find myself. Still, that does not end my journey because that is life.. and life must goes on. J J J
