Dreams

It felt so good to be home and it is not the double storey concrete shelter my uncle provided.It feels alive again to be with my parents and my sisters and relatives back here eventhough at times we ran out of topics to talk about but just by being by their side i could feel the family bond once again.

I have heard many stories about people leaving their family in search of adventure, to be independent and to chase after their goals in life. However , i believe those who have done so are just feeling the same way i am feeling .

Leaving home is one of the many ways to train myself to be more independent and to relieve my parents burden. The way i look at it, it is some time off for me to absorb new skills and knowledge and make more money so that i am able to come back and provide my parents with a more comfortable life.

My parents are quite well to do but i have always wished to provide them with a more lucrative lifestyle. I have always asked myself what would i do if i have millions of dollars? and i have always had the same intention of relieving my father's burden by taking charge of our family's day to day expenses and my sisters education. Someday, if i hit the jackpot, i would bank in a huge sum to my mom and dad's account for their allowances.

I do realise that the sacrifices of my mother and father can never be compensated with monetary rewards but i really do wish that i can give them the best in terms of standards of living. All these years since i was a kid in primary school till i am an adult today,i have changed minds over many things in life but i have never let go of this dream.

I want to be an entrepreneur so that i am able to realise my dream in this lifetime. I want to make loads of cash and not because i am aiming to buy an island or a boat . I hope that someday when i am rich enough, i would be able to contribute more to organisations that provides shelter to the homeless and abandoned old folks and babies.

I am not a science genius and i would not be able to come up with a scientific discovery on the cure to AIDS or Dengue fever but given the chance, i would like to contribute and live a meaningful life.
