One day I will change the world.
Maybe I will be the one who finds a cure for cancer. My mom's mom died from cancer, I don't know what kind. I do know that it devastated my mother, she had no place to go when her mom died. I couldn't imagine losing my mother like that. Watching her shrivel into nothing, being so sick that she can't eat. The pain it caused her while she was still alive. I could be the one to change that so no other kids has to lose their mom. Maybe I'll end up saving my moms life one day.
Maybe I will be the one to find the solution for world hunger. My mom grew up in shelters and on the streets, after her mother passed. She was hungry all the time, always praying she would find her next meal. Stealing food from other kids at school just so she would have something to eat for dinner that night. I can only imagine the look on my moms face when I get to tell her another kid will never go hungry again. She would be so proud.
Maybe I would be the one to bring peace to the world, stop war, and bring everyone together. That way no other kids would suffer like my mom did when her dad never came back from war. Kids deserve to live in a home with their parents and feel loved, not worry every night that their dad is dead. Watching all the horrible things they say on the news about this war and that war. Imaging being able to lead the world into a time of peace where we can come together to be one world instead of a bunch of one countries. I'd imagine my mom would cry tears of joy because she'd be happy to live in a world that is better than it is today.
Maybe I'd do none of these things, maybe I would be a teacher, who cared so much about the kids in the classroom that they grew up to be these people. Maybe I'd be the parent who raises a child to be one of these people. Maybe I'd be a nurse and get to save the life of each and every one of these people.
Maybe then my mom would think enough of me, maybe then she'd be proud to share me with the world. Maybe if my mother knew that I would turn out to be one of these people she'd keep me. I can't tell her who I am going to be just yet, but if she just gave me the chance.
One day I will change the world.
