A Chance

Everyday is an opportunity to explore new things, new talents, and set new goals. I love to explore and try out things that are way bigger than me. 

Not everyone is opportune to be born with a silver spoon but even without having a silver spoon in our mouth, we can still choose to fight our way through. 

Growing up has never been easy, especially when you have to cater for yourself. I wish I had been given a chance to explore when I was a child. I wish I had my parent's eyes on everything I did when I was a child, I guess I would have been better at what I do now. 

I could remember how I struggled to read and write in my primary school days. How I had to resit a class when my parents changed my school, all because I couldn't read the alphabetical letters correctly. How can a six-year-old be that dumb but yet always comes out with the first position in class? 

My inability to do something in my childhood has lessened my inner strength. I could remember how my SS2 mathematics teacher insulted me for not solving an Indices question on the board. 

If only my parent were ever available when I was growing up, maybe the insults would have been avoided. 

Nonetheless, I don't have to beat myself over the lack of opportunity or the things I couldn't get when growing up. I have chosen to grow, learn and grow because I grow in learning. 

The insults I received from my mathematics teacher made me the best in mathematics in my class. I drew strength from that insults. I could remember how my classmate sought me for help with their mathematics questions. The insults made me want to do more. 

The earlier we realize that Insults from people are inevitable the better we become. We only grow by learning to not be pulled back by the hurtful words people say to us. 

I have come to realize that there's no two-me. I'm just one person in this world. I can never be you neither can you be me.

Don't be ashamed to fail, failures make you see your faults. We only grow by acting on our disappointments. 

Well, I might not have reached my peak yet, but this is me accomplishing what I thought was impossible. I chose to not let the difficulties I had encountered mar my future and I'm still choosing to not because more trials are still to come. 

I choose to Grow.
