Reflection
What makes me what i am today?
I am what i am today for my parents brought me up this way. I guess I am rather impatient. My father is a person who wants thinks to be done fast and accurately. For me, I am used to doing things fast, though I am bad at accuracy, and if anyone do things slowly, I will get irritated and will have a bad temper.
My mother is what makes me what i am today. She is soft-hearted and kind. Yes, I am soft-hearted in certain ways sometimes. I easily sympathise people for what they do. For example, when i went to Indonesia last year for my holiday, i was eyeing this one small child whom i estimated his age to be 6 or 7. He was the center of attention as I was in a car, at a traffic light junction and he was sitting in the middle of the road, taking a break from giving out newspapers. I felt so sad and sympathise him a lot. For a young kid to do such a thing, it takes a lot of courage. There and then, i kept thinking, what will happen to him if drivers are reckless? Where are his parents? Do they know that he is doing such a thing? Does he even have parents? Is he being well taken care of? Quite a lot of thigns were running through my mind. My mother on the other hand will donate to any disabled people who begs for money. She also can't stand looking at children crying, she'll cry too!
My sister also play an important role in my life. It it weren't for her, i wouldn't be so straightforward. Since I was young, she have taught me to be straightforward. She taught me to speak my mind out. Yes, there will be times she gets scolded from mother for being too straightforward that it appeared to be so rude, but, I get her main idea. She just wanted me to believe in standing up for what's right. She just wanted me to believe that a girl like me, can make a huge difference if I stand up for what I believe and in order to do so, I've to speak my mind out.
