& i walk alone
The motivational camp has not only motivated me, but has also taught me to appreciate things, love myself and build a high self-esteem, know how precious our parents are.
Parents usually are not used to expressing their love for us by simply saying "i love you". No they don't! That's when we might feel hurt and not felt the love from our parents. We might ask why. Why did they scold us and beat us ? They did it plainly just out of LOVE. If mom and dad do not even care, they wouldn't be even bothering about us! Think about this. We went home late in the night, but we are the ones actually making them worry. As a parent, they ought to worry for us. Afterall, we are their treasure! However, what most of us feel is that, they are getting on our nerves. We were all tired after a long day but yet they nagged when we reached home. B'cos they love us.
All the things mom and dad has done for us, we just take it for granted. Most of us never treasure them till the day we lost our everything. Who woke us up in the morning for school ? Who mend our bed ? Who washes our dirty clothes ? Who took great care of us without fail ? Our parents! If they were gone somehow, someday, all that mom and dad always does will never be done again.
Even as kids, we faced many problems. Friends betrayed and backstabbed u as if they never know u. Many many difficult times have past by us. But did we realise that, as most of our friends leave and forsake us, our parents were the ones who are ALWAYS there for us ? We just took everything for granted.
Like us, our parents found it hard to express their thought. Both parties would feel awkard if one just suddenly said "i love you". Instead, they scold us and might even beat us up. Why ? They love us. They do not want to see us falling into wrong way and only to regret it in the future. That's how parents are. We might even be like them someday!
Overall, I really found that the motivational talk very useful. I've grown up a lot in terms of mentality. And I just want to say thank you to Mr Garry (banana boy) and Leroy(car-burn =x)
and I LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD!
