Thanks to Mitch Albom, I am doing this.
If you happen to read his novel, Tuesdays with Morrie, then you are aware of how Morrie was able to make his dying days a living one.
I am truly inspired on how he had handled the idea of dying. He didn't look at it as a slow down zone. My Mom died so suddenly due to heart attack. One snap and she's no longer around. That's when my life hit the full stop. Right now, I think I am still in 2004 setup. I stopped growing. But there had been changes in my life, though. After I graduated from college, I became a bum, with no goals and no dreams. So, I stuck myself at home, trying to be normal and assuring myself that I am just on vacation. But then it became so tiring. I had missed the stress and pressure. The people are expecting from me after that since I graduated with honor and they believe that I am capable of anything. I had proved that, yes, but I did not go for it. My dreams stopped because my last goal was just to finish my studies. I did not prepare myself for the life after that. I even declined job offers from companies I am interested. Everyone from my class is enjoying their new chapters while I am just drifting my time. I don't have any ambitions anymore. Then I push myself to start another dream. And I want to share the learning I got from my life as a student. I think I want to follow my mother's profession, a teacher. If Morrie had made it to a point that in his last days he should be spreading the values of living, touching other people's lives and giving pieces of advice, I think as a healthy person, I can also do such kind of things. That will be possible if I am a teacher or a tutor. Teachers are not only the source of knowledge, they are one of the foundations of growth in an individual. The values that we have came also from the school. I want to see people make dreams and pursue it.
But the problem still lies on where do I start.
