I always say that what is the essence of life if it's not to be remembered for anything? I want to be remembered for many things, especially the impact I've made. I want to be remembered for how many lives I've changed, how many people I've supported, and this is one of the reasons why I want to get rich and make a life. I want to be able to sponsor many people's education and enable them to say that if not for me, they wouldn't be here. It's not because I want them to mention my name, but I really want to make a strong impact in people's lives.
While I was serving in a school, I saw many kids who had difficulty paying their school fees, despite the fact that this school is a government school and they don't really pay much for school fees. During exam periods, there would still be a few students who couldn't pay. Some students didn't wear socks to school, not because they were disobedient, but because they didn't have any. Many students wore slippers to school because the school authority had given us rules and regulations to seize those slippers. We would always seize them, but I would always pity those students and wish I could provide socks for all of them, including shoes and bags for those who came to school with nylon to pack their books. Not everyone is privileged, and those things may seem cheap to some, but to others, it's a very big deal.
I want to be known for helping the less privileged students and supporting the poor. That's why I love giving the little things I have to people. You can't come to me and say you're hungry, and I won't be able to do something, because this is what I want to be known for - a woman who loves the less privileged.
Another thing I want to be known for is changing lives from negative to positive. When people can say that I stopped taking drugs or engaging in prostitution because of your preaching or advice, that would be a great achievement. Changing people's lives from a wayward path to a positive one is what I want to be known for.
I also want to be remembered for how many people I bring out of their pain. By being an intercessor and an advocate for them, I want to help people overcome their struggles and find healing. No one deserves a life of pain, and having gone through some pain myself, I've realized that it's not something anyone should have to endure. I want to use my experiences to help others and make a difference in their lives.
I want to be known for a life of great impact, a life that has a foundation that helps people. A life that shows that I care about others and am committed to making a positive difference in the world. Afterall that is what life should be about, making positive impact.
All pictures are mine.
