After my daughter was born I took about one semester off from school, and I didn't want to go back, which was wrong. Then I thought to myself, if I start school again, it would be the best thing to do for my daughter; I don't want her to look at me as if I'm a quitter. So, I started looking into colleges that will help me get my bachelor's degree at a low cost. Now I could finish school and prove to my daughter that I will never quit or give up on her. God sent my daughter so I could be guided in the right path, not the wrong one.
People have many values to help them through life and guide them to a great future. My value of loving, and being grateful to everyone has developed tremendously. I am more loving and caring for someone else's needs. I love helping other people that are not able to help themselves. The career path I will be taking will be helping other people, which I love to do. When I was in high school, I volunteered at a church as a teacher's aid, to help the children learn about the sacraments and the bible, so they could be able graduate and do their first communion. During that time, I discovered my passion for helping children. We didn't just speak about the bible; we went deeper than that. We spoke about how God will help them in their lives, at home, and how God will help guide them in the right path. I was so grateful for helping those children and making them understand that with faith you will see a better future.
In her story "Three Days to See", Hellen Keller quoted, "Most of us, however, take life for granted. [] Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. [] Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound" (Keller, 1993). As I read these quotes, I feel as if she was grateful. These quotes stood out to me because it is true people don't see what they have that other people are longing to have.
