Purpose


We all have a purpose in life and finding it may be the hardest thing. As I was observing my brother doing his homework he taught me a little thing that seemed to be quite interesting. I asked him “why are you doing your homework?” he replied because I want to get good grades to make mom happy. His purpose was to make my mom happy. I understood that he was doing it for my mom, but I also understood that he wants to make my mom happy, because if she is happy with him she will spoil him like crazy. If you look at it from my moms’ point of view her goal is to motivate him to do better in school that way he can have a better future, where he wont struggle to find a job he will be giving jobs to others.

With ought a purpose we can be sometimes unhappy. Usually with ought a purpose we have no reason to live for. I personally feel that a purpose makes you feel good on the inside and is something you enjoy doing for example, helping out others makes me feel happy and accomplished.

Kids


Today was a long day for me at school and I’m exhausted because I didn’t get enough sleep the day before from the dogs barking outside. As I came home from school my little brother and my cousins were laughing and enjoying their talk about how their day at school was. It made me so curios to wonder why were they making plans for what they were going to play for the day. They had many choices; they could play soccer, Legos or wrestling. It’s really quite interesting how they always have energy and their way of thinking is splendorous. They are not hit by reality yet so they dream and dream about what they can become the day of tomorrow. Some of them want to go to space others want to be cops; one of them said he wanted work in McDonalds.

     I noticed that every kid dreams big, there is not one that doesn’t. I just wonder why am I not like them when did my curiosity end? Why am I not as energetic as they are? It is as if I was hit by a shade a black it doesn’t want to come off no matter what I do. School is what I hate, and its not because of the work but because it killed my curiosity. It wasn’t my friends that influenced a great part of what I am today it was knowledge that stop curiosity. 

     Knowledge is good and bad good because we can explain why the sun hides at night and why the moon hides during day. We can also explain other things like why are there different seasons throughout the year. My cousins and my little brother are annoying as heck but they have many good features. They amaze me in so many ways, they also teach me to play and have fun. I learned that I should not waste my time on social media but to waste it on something productive like making friends and playing Lego toys. The most important thing is to keep on dreaming, there is no limit or age to stop dreaming and If I cant get something right I should try again until I succeed just as they build Legos piece by piece until the final piece is gently added that is when you realize what a magnificent Lego I have built. Sure it my takes me sometime but in the end if I enjoyed it and had fun then it was well worth my time.
