I've been thinking over the events of the past few years. I realized something today. Today I began relooking on what I want to do with my life. I have searched the deepest parts of who I am; and I believe that I have come to a decision. I have decided that I am to become a Special Education Teacher. I never thought that I would become a teacher but something clicked with me. I realized what I am meant for. To explain this all I can tell you of is a story that explains something about it.
We must go in time to when I was still in Junior High. That's when I first met him. This little boy named Daniel. He was so sweet. He was just four years old and he was forced to use a walker to walk with. The thing about him that made me get so deeply connected with him was how he loved life even though he faced a life full of trials. He loved life. This was the same year that my church group was going to go to Six Flags. I was going to be going with them on this trip. But the day before it was time to go I realized something. The other two ladies (who were much much older than I was at the time) did not need to be picking this boy up the way that was required for that position. So instead of going and having fun with the rest of the kids my age; I stayed there with Daniel. Throughout that week; I found out that I had a nack of connecting with him. The next week; his grandmother and him both joined the church.
Long ago; I had given up on that dream. And recently I have remembered it again. I've been doing a lot of work with my newspaper teacher on this Poetry Anthology. There was this one that reminded me of Daniel. Then just this Monday; a friend of mines mother said that she could just see me as a Spec. Ed. teacher. I haven' t been able to get that thought out of my mind. And when I think about becoming a spec. ed. teacher; there's an extremely warm glow around it. It's like the glow that I got from Photography, Journalism, and Writing. I realized something. I believe that I am meant to do this. And I will do it. I'm going to be a spec. ed. teacher. This gives me a new purpose and with that said; I leave you with all of this.
Don't be afraid of destiny. Embrace it. Because it's coming whether you like it or not. Thank you and God Bless.
So; until next time, this is D. telling me to expect the unexpected.
