In life, there are many things that inspire me. Mainly, it’s beauty in nature: the wind blowing through the trees, the way sun would shine on a pond. But, every once in a while, I’ll meet someone, a person, who makes me really see beauty in life. It’s not that often, and sometimes it may not even be a friend. But they’ll come into my life and teach me something.
A few days ago, I met someone who, I hope, will teach me to be as blessed as they are. Born two months premature, this person was pronounced dead three times. The doctors told his parents that he would be a vegetable: mute, deaf, and dumb.
And he’s going to one of the top schools in the state.
He grew up with ten siblings, the youngest of them all. He’s been through a lot: abusive fathers, and hard times. But yet, he is still one of the nicest people I know. Every time I found out more about him, I am more amazed with him, his life, and the world. It may be to early to say, but I think that he has taught me a lot about how beautiful life can be. I just hope that he remains in my life long enough to teach me what he has to teach me.
