What inspires you to wake up in the morning and get on with your life?
I Can Make a Difference
Born and brought up in India, a country where nearly half the population is either illiterate, poverty-stricken or sick, I am thankful and grateful for the life of comparative luxury that I live. I never have to worry about where my next meal is coming from and I have always had a loving family and caring friends to take me through all of life’s difficulties.
Walking down a busy street in any city in India, is all it takes to realize how lucky I am to be able to sit at my study table, in my own room, in my own home, completely sheltered and protected from the world outside, writing an essay, hoping to be admitted in a college a million leagues across the sea. Almost half the children in my country cannot even dream of sitting in a classroom and it would be their wildest fantasy coming true if they were given the opportunity to step outside the borders of our country and see the world.
It is all this that inspires me to wake up every morning and get on with my life, no matter how hard it may seem at any stage. I want to make the best of every chance I get, so that someday I can help the miserable beggar who I see everyday on my way to school or perhaps the little child who sits outside my gate and watches me as I hope on to the school bus.
Living in a country where poverty, misery and pain is as commons as sunrise or sunset, ignorance is sometimes truly bliss. A lot of the luckier citizens of this country prefer to stay blind to all the pain around them. I am affected by the sight of every Indian who is not as fortunate as I am and I do not ever want to become immune to all the desperate cries for help that I see so often.
It is this overwhelming feeling of sympathy and concern that makes me want to make an effort to use all the opportunities I have to the best of my ability so that someday, in some way, I can make a difference.
