“Life’s Questions Left Unanswered” Part 1

I was born in a place that I would say had never progressed since the last time I saw it. Given that some buildings were established, but would you believe that until now that very place where I used to live and play has no hospital for its citizens? Poor place, it should have been a progressive one for it is located near the river and all I can remember in my world history subjects that places near this kind are the one that progresses first for business is already there. But that’s not seemed to be the case in this place of mine. And so I left the place with a question unanswered: Why is the place suffering where in fact, from the time it became independent from a larger place, people have the chance to manage it and make it progressive than expected? Will it stay that way forever?

As I leave the place, I left a childhood history in there. Bringing with me a promise of an adolescent life. Meeting new friends and people whom I can consider have played a big role on my life as a teenager. Living with my mother is not that easy. From a very luxurious life, now I live in a house we cannot call our own. I study in a school up in the mountains supported by the government. A pretty good school with amazing teachers of discipline. There I started to dream and dream big! With all the struggles in life that we are experiencing, I promised to myself I would go and do whatever it takes to make me feel the comfort of life again. This new place where I started to see a brighter future has given me a new hope in life…. at the start. Because as I go on dreaming and making waves and great steps to success, some people are unhappy that they would do the same, doing whatever it takes to pull me down. Even I am greatly and emotionally affected, I can’t let them step down on me. I am strong, I think, and I have a dream to fulfill. And so I did struggle a lot and have succeeded, I think. For on the end of the year, I emerged as the first among the thousand people who have dreamed as well. And I was readying myself to leave this new place again, I felt still incomplete and uncertain. Does this medallion really will give me a good future? But with my family’s situation, how would this piece of gold-plated thing help me?

Now, I am ready, I think, to face a higher level of experience; a more rigorous and mentally-demanding dream and goal. Leaving my family to pursue this dream of a higher education’s diploma is not that easy as well. For with me is a new faith I acquired from a place before here. A faith that I hope will help me quicken and awaken. It is not that easy for moving back to the old place where I left a question answered will just add another question I believe will be hard to answer. Can the family whom I have grown up with and with the luxurious stuff I have before with them give the same? Or I would again start from zero …alone?
