U-TURN

While I am sleeping, I have a dream that goes like this way,

Decision-making is like a prism; it depends on what we see on how we turn around the
glass. That statement simply implies that when we are going to make a decision, we should
always be sure that it will create light not only on ourselves but also for the others whether they
are involved or not.
In 18 years of existence in this rapidly changing world, I’ve been through a lot of
challenges that shaped me for what and who I am today. In my recent years, I am just a typical
student who goes back and forth from home to school. I am the only son of my parents and the
only grandson of my grandparents. I graduated elementary being the valedictorian. My parents’
and relatives were so proud of me except on my grandparents in my father’s side. They are, let’s
say they are rich in money. After the ceremony, my parents and I went back to our home. I am
still wearing the medals while we’re on our way back home. When we reached our home, many
relatives are waiting there for me. They congratulated me, gave gifts and other incentives.
“Congrats Jee”, these are the words passing at my ears from left to right.
“Aanhin mo ang talino kung wala kang pera”, these are the words being uttered by my
grandfather that really catches my attention and hurts my feelings. From that day until now, it
sinks in to me. I wanted to tell some people around me about that but I’ve decided to just keep it
with myself. Even though they’re like that to me, they are still my grandparents. I don’t want
other people to bash them even though it really hurts what they are doing to me.
Then I woke up crying, crying for joy. I realized that, I just take a U-turn against them. If
my emotions or anger got me that time, then I just helped them destroying myself. In that
happenings in my life, I learned that sometimes it’s the decision that can change your life. I just
want to say to my grandparents to please to my revenge, revenge in a good way, coz I’m about to
harvest the greatest fruit of my life.
That is my dream that becomes a nightmare of inspiration to myself.
