♥;
I am gifted talk really helped. It made me reflect alot and I've learnt alot of things. I felt like I was away from the world. Being distant from so many people. The most memorable and important thing I've learnt is how to be a human. Yes I know some of you will laugh, what the hell am I talking about right?
Leroy shared something about class A,B and C and he told us his experience when he was having this programme at MINDS.
Leroy:What's your greatest dream?
One of the boys : To be normal like you.
That situation struck me. Leroy was saying stuff about them, for example being a macdonald's cashier can make them proud. The pride and honour they have in them is undescribable. Then it made me think, I have all four limbs, almost everything is perfect. Why complain? Before the story he made up list out all the problems we had.And he filled a BIG sheet of paper filled with our problems. But after saying that story, the problems we listed out were considered mediocre to the problems these kids meet with everyday. Then came the video about the oprah winferey show. About this girl called jacqi. After an accident, she was disfigured to a point where she was irrecognisable and have to go through alot of surgeries although she went for 50 over already. She even has problems wearing clothes, brushing teeth. But she still lives on strong.
Then who am I to complain? Tired? PMS? Difficulty concentrating? Fat? What the hell am I thinking? Out there, people have difficulty doing what normal people can do an yet Im being a total loser complaining how bad life can be when Im perfectly normal. Why complain? I dont even have to work to support the family when alot of kids out there need to. I cant complain my parents dont understand me. In fact Im blessed to have them. Other peoples' dad are so strict and dont show their feelings but my dad is different. He shows his love to me and i appreciate that alot. My mum used to make breakfast for me, and used to coax me to go to school. And After the course I realised many more other things, which make me think why take self-pity and use it as an excuse when others are suffereing more than me. Who am I to complain?
I want to make my dad proud of me. And although shes not here, I know shes up there watching me. I want to get good results and bring my cert proudly to her and show her. I want to make up for every wrong thing I've done. I dont want to waste anymore time as when I looked back I have wasted almost 3 years, living without an aim. Just getting pass days for the sake of it. I dont want to cut corners anymore. I want to change. I must change. I will change.
Please be a good friend and help me along. Whether in teaching me, helping me in my studies or scolding me if i distract myself, please help me! Thank you in advance(:
Thanks to the trainers for the wonderful 36hours too(:
You might laugh but whatever.
