Purpose

 

             In the past, philosophers are trying to discover the real purpose of man's existence. They tried so hard that they came up with different answers in different angles. But I think these philosophers think according to what they believe. For those who believe that man's purpose is to be happy or contented, their center of study is man. But for those who believe that salvation thru God is the main purpose of man, faith in God is the center of their study. Ever since I was in high school, I keep on asking myself the meaning of my life. Of course, being a believer in God, it gives my life a purpose already, and that is to achieve salvation. But I was confused on what to do with my life. I didn't know what path to take concerning college. Now that I"m in Physical Therapy, I found out that I"m quite contented with the profession I choose to be in the future. My main concern now is my studies, but of course I know that it is not possible to just study. I have my family, my friends, and of course God. I can say that I haven't reached my full potential as a person. I"m only an average person, not as smart as some people, but I know I can do things only if I put my heart to it. My priority now, as I mentioned, is my studies. This second year, I"m aiming to have higher grades than the ones I had on my first year. But if I put it in another way, I just want to pass. My long term goal is to graduate from Physical Therapy and continue it to medicine proper. Most people I know don't think I can't do it. Before, I told myself I"m going to do it to show them I can, but now I"m trying my best to achieve that goal in order to prove myself not to anyone but to myself. If ever I can't achieve the profession of a doctor, I would try my best to be a Physical Therapist and be able to rehabilitate people. I just thought that by being a doctor, I could widen the field of work and I can help more people. Basically, for me, one of the purposes of my life is to help other people, be it my family or a man sleeping outside the UST on the sidewalk without any food and shelter.
