FINAL REFLECTION PAPER

This NSTP sessions gave me a lot of wisdom about life and how it may seem unfair to
a lot of people. As we teach these children additional things out of their schools, I
immediately realized that fortunate people have been complaining about many things wherein
fact they are lucky to have what they have now. These people tend to take things for granted
and not knowing the worth of eating three meals a day, a phone to use, a vehicle and air
condition to feel comfortable with. I was one of them. These kids think they learned from us,
wherein fact I learned a whole lot more form them. I am at that age where I start to be mature
and come with life as it progresses either downhill or uphill. I realized that whenever we fail
to do something and not give up, we end up getting wiser and stronger knowing we can face
everything which He gives us. We deal with a lot of situations everyday even the worst ones,
but that does not mean we can’t take it. If you think it’s difficult, take it slow. You don’t have
to rush everything. Little by little and you will make it there. It’s not about who finishes the
race first, but who finishes it without giving up. That is life. We may not know it but it
reflects on how we make our own decisions.
Sometimes I wish I could be a kid again. Not worrying about anything but playing
and thinking about what time I should be home after. It must be nice not to think about what
happens in the future and how things would turn out when I made decisions. Stressing
whether I made the right choice or not. But I also realized how being an adult is living the life
and being rewarded in the future with a great life. All these only happens if you make the
right decisions because every choice or path you take will definitely reflect on our future.
The most important thing out of all is being a great person and having love for all the
things that you do and to others to give you the ultimate prize which is joy. This life is a gift,
it is a blessing, so don’t just exist but live life to the fullest. Always strive to excel in what
you do and see the magic. It will make you feel more satisfied with yourself. Everyone is
unique and different from each other. So, don’t compare yourself with anyone else as it is like
comparing an apple with an orange. If we truly want to excel and grow over a period of time
then we should compete with ourselves. Try to be a better person by each passing day. Apart
from this, staying positive in life is very important as one negative thought can disturb our
peace of mind like one rotten fruit can damage all other fruits of the basket.
