I remember during my childhood, when a
smile covered my face every time my mother bought me a doll. I can clearly
remember how I accidentally got second rank in the 1st elementary school and
both my parents were proud of me and even gave me presents for that
achievement. Since then, I made promises to myself to study hard in order to
get the 1st rank in the future. Thankfulness, I got the first rank in Junior
High School and you know what? My parents gave me a smartphone called
“Blackberry” as a present. Blackberry is a smartphone that was very popular at
that time and I was so happy I could have one. It doesn’t stay long after I got
into Senior High School, I felt like I lost my interest in everything.
Everything that I promised didn’t seem to be important anymore. I started
thinking to myself, what am I supposed to do if I have to lose the one that I
love in this universe. Money can’t buy anything. I lost my cousin 8 years ago.
I still remembered clearly the day he passed away. Therefore, since then, I have
always put my family and the one that I love first and that’s just the way it
is. Because I believe the most painful thing in life is losing someone you
love.
After
I graduated from high school, I got a scholarship from Indonesia’s Tzu Chi
Foundation. I did not know whether I had to be happy or sad, because to be
honest, I was so guilty at that time afraid to leave all my family behind. But
then my parents told me that life
is impermanent, giving and helping others while we can, before it's too late and we regret for not doing it. Right
after this moment, I finally had made up my mind. I know what matters to me
now. I know who and what is worth fighting for. I feel so lucky
for having them in my life, they have been working tirelessly to do what’s the
best for me. They keep on motivate me to do good
deeds. When I was a kid, I wonder why they kept on pushing me to join any productive activities out there
even though they know I prefer to stay at
home rather than going outside. Now I realize that all the things they'd done
is for my good. There are no words to describe how much I love them.
Time flies so fast, I wish I could bring my parents travel around the world.
That is actually my dream. I have been saving money for this entire year just
to make sure that I can fulfil my dream. I know they never expect of getting something back for me,
they actually wish nothing more than seeing their children healthy. That's the
reason why I care more about my health now because I realize my health affect
their happiness a lot.
From now on, I promise to myself that I
will always make them happy no matter what. All of this time, I have been
joining some productive activities like volunteering and I told my parents
about that. As I expected, they were so happy to hear that. Within these 2
years, I have been so happy to do all of these good deeds like helping others,
doing volunteer work, etc. I realised that doing good deeds would have a
positive effect on me in the future and at the same time, I also can make my
parents happy which is that’s all I want.
