...It's a long road When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
You can find love If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt will disappear
And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on
And you cast you fears aside and you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you...
HERO - Mariah Carey
As the quote from an inspiring story I've read; "Ten years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Let's explore, Dream and Discover!!!" (these words truly made me dumbfounded).
On last Saturday, 23rd July 2011; Indonesia celebrated the National Children Day. And we as the youth of the nation is not only abode in this celebration. In National Children Day, we provided a carton and some papers. And then, we let all of children to drew and wrote their dreams on there. Ya!! let their dreams burst on the every texts and pictures they made.
I was really amazed with their answers. Let's check it out!
"Dear Allah, my name is Amelia. I have been a good girl because I will make my family happy and proud of me. I want to get 9 Junior High School and I want to be a doctor. I love my family."
"Dear Allah, my name is Toni. I have been a good boy because I always make my family happy. I want a computer.""Dear God, my name is Sonya. I have been a good girl because I always help the people. I want to meet SMASH (boyband from Indonesia). I love them ( Bisma, Dicky, Rafael, Rangga, Reza, Morgan, Ilham)."
"Dear Allah, my name is Ranti. I have been a good girl because I always shalat. I want to be a dancer. I love SMASH."
"Dear Allah, my name is Peri. I have been a good boy because I love my family. I want to be a doctor.""Dear God, my name is Yopie. I have been a good boy because I love my family. I want to be a MILLIONAIRE "amin"."
"Dear God, my name is Siti Hafsah. I have been a good girl because I am a happier and I always study. I want to be a doctor."
Oh ya, moreover, there are many snacks in there. We ate chips, chocolate cookies and many gummy candies. It's looked so fun for us. Hhi :))
Hmmh...
I felt the rhythm, the nuance, the ambience of the National Children Day and the love from children in my surroundings. Moreover, those things made me to reminisce for what I have done in this 20 years and 39 days, along with the time I were seeing and experiencing them. I saw my past, my present, and my future emerged. At that time, I have seen and felt my life and my future evidently. Yeaa!! dreams pass into the reality of action. From the action stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest from of living. I walk to the new spirit (like they are who always enthusiastic) and whisper tenderly "I know, I am not a good sister. But I try to do my best. ya!! I WILL LIVE MY LIFE".
Ahh, it's just a single expression of human.
