Stepping Stones

By: Irrompible

          Life is not all about happiness, peace and love, every now and then we can't escape challenges, struggles, and failures. Through this, it may lead us to victory. We cannot possess a unwavering person from success. Place stumbling-blocks in his way, and he takes them for stepping stones. Typically, faith makes the up look worthy, the outlook perky, the in look auspicious, and the future splendid.

          I am just a meek girl, living a modest life. I am Quincy Mary and this is my story.

          I lived with my mother and my younger sister in my Aunt's apartment. My father perished once I was 10 years old. He was murdered by my uncle because of jealousy, fury, and pride. For the reason of our family's fortune and my father's achievement, my uncle was so envious and so he tumbledown everything. I gently loosen hope, but then I realized why would I? What will be going to happen to the future of my family if I will not make an action to this?

          I decided to be a working scholar, for the better future of my family. Therefore I worked in a café as a barista for 5 years since I was 15. In the future, I will be a prosperous journalist. As Henry Brougham said, Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.

          One day, while I am busy attending a regular client in the café, my sister called. She told me that mother was attacked over again by her pneumonia. As I arrived in the hospital, the consultants already checked my mother's situation, and they said that mother must admit in the hospital for certain operation. Then the nurse presented me the bill, it's lavish than I assumed. With no uncertainties, I worked tougher as I might. Weeks have passed, I met my uncle and he notified us to lookout, because in a one spur-of-the-moment, the remaining fortune would be vanished.

          4 years have passed; I progressed as cumlaude, Bachelor of Science and Arts in our academia. When I left the campus, the whole thing has altered. I learned so much more about life, in addition this is not just a concrete gag. 8 months of ruling a stable employment, I was employed as an innovative journalist of a well-known publication agency. I didn't waste some time, so I ensured my work very thriving as the finest as I can do. First 6 months in the agency, the administrator was stunned on my performance. She's also pleasant to have me in the agency, and so she offered me an opportunity to be the New Managing Editor.

          Agreeing to Harriet Stowe, when you contract into a snug place and all goes beside you; 'till it seem like as strong you might not grasp a little longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the wave will turn.

          The new chapter of my story arises. Because of my capability, competency, and hard work, I carried up the family's wealth, my sister, by this time is in college, I gave integrity to my father's loss and my uncle is in prison after all. Most of all, I was referred to Spain for the fresh outlet magazine of the agency. With no hesitancies, the proposal was accepted.

          Despite the fact I am separated in my particular motherland, it's too tough to amend. I must be sensible in trusting somebody exclusively with my new associates and a little bit pressure because everybody in the company was expecting an improved performance than afore.

          As I checked my phone this late afternoon, my mother messaged me that my sister was hatted by an automobile. With no uncertainties, I flight back to my nation. Each family has there ups and downs, nevertheless, no matter what family that's all that matters, and that is entirety you need is family affection, family endlessly and permanently no matter what.

          An additional trial in our family, again. I don't what to do, but to pray. Praying for people saves an individual attentive in his oneness with mortality and his accountability well-being of his associates (Gerald Kennedy).

          I have no choice but to stay for my mother and my sister. I will guarantee to keep them away from mischief no matter what, since family is family. And through that, I visit my uncle who is in prison. He probed me for pity for what he has done in our family. At first, I'm irritated of the delinquency that he had made, but when he utters "I'm sorry for my liabilities against you and to your family, especially to my dearest brother. Please forgive me. I agree to take the consequence no matter how threatening it is.", my heart softened. That's why the world desires zillions of deeds of clemency and penance to flush out hatred, antipathy, and bitterness.

          Man can form circumstances, but circumstances ought to be permitted to form the man. We must grasp upon circumstances as instruments with which to work. We are to master them, but should not permit them to master us (Ellen White). Difficulties is our stepping stones and part of our lives to frame us to develop the superior version of ourselves. Every single trial we come across, there's a new moral we acquire.
