"Reaction Paper About the Iron Lady of Pakistan"

How many times in our life we have encountered painful experiences that challenged our
personality and our whole totality as an individual, as a person, and as a human being? If you are going
to ask me, I must say that everytime I open my eyes and see the rays of the sunshine striking my face, it
means to me that there is a new day that I have to face, a new challenges that I must face, and new
problems that coming on my way. And honestly, these problems and challenges make me scare
everyday. Scare to be a failure for my mom, scare to disappoint those people who believed in me, who
give their trust with me, but you know what, among these things, I am most scared to be hurt by
someone I love because I am afraid that along the way I cannot give my forgiveness to that person, that
will fill my heart with angriness and regrets.

Before I watched the video about Muniba Mazari which is considered as the Iron-Lady of
Pakistan, I have this perspective in life that whatever it takes there is no room for mistakes, everything
that I do must be according to my plan and according to my objectives in life. If all of these things did not
happen exactly on what I expected, it brings me so much disappointment and stress. Sometimes I lose
my confidence that I can do these things again, I lose my courage easily to keep going but most of the
time, I feel so empty inside that there is no tears anymore that I can cry on because it is all gone for a lot
of disappointments and failures that I have experienced. It just so sad to think that whenever I
experienced these lonely and painful things in my life, I have no one to cry on, to tell all my agony in life,
only myself. And I hate it when I always blame myself for all the bad things that happened in my life, I
hate it when times I became so unkind to myself. Believe it or not, I do not like it when I feel so alone, I
feel so hurt, and I feel like I am nothing but no matter how hard I fight, how I keep positives things in my
life, and how this wonderful life could be, I just felt these things.

But all of these things changed, even my perspective in life changed after watching that video,
that video that makes me believe that no matter how tough your problems are, there is still a better and
bright side of it, the only thing that we need to do is to find it and look at that side. After watching it, I
realized that I am still lucky because even if I have a lot of problems, unlike Muniba Mazari, I have a
complete body that functions normally, I can walk, and I can do normal things like other people can do.
It made me realized that having a healthy and normal body is enough reason to be grateful in your life
because God give that to you. We do not have to be rich, to be famous, or even to be beautiful
physically to be considered ourselves a lucky one. Even the people who are so unfortunate in life, they
are still lucky because after all they are still alive and still have a chance to change their life.

In that video, except to my mom, I met a woman that help me realized the true meaning of my
existence in this world. In that video, I reflected that I became so cruel on myself and I became so unfair.
And because of that woman that shows me that perfection is not the basis of living your life, I feel so
blessed and loved. The woman that despite her disability, she made it possible to achieve her dreams
and conquer all her fears. That woman is non other than Muniba Mazari, a woman that full of hopes,
determination, and courageous heart to do impossible things. And for that, I salute her.
