You came with those hesitant tiny steps and a big dream.<\/p>\n
You struggled to find your thread in this tapestry called life.<\/p>\n
You accepted that this strand that is your life spanned from a faraway nation. To this new country, you now call home.<\/p>\n
You learned a language that wasn’t yours.<\/p>\n
You adopted your new life, new country, new family.<\/p>\n
You cried, laughed, rebelled, yelled, fell and stood up again.<\/p>\n
Your heart overflowed with love. Each new arrival at home mesmerized and amazed you.<\/p>\n
You cuddle, hug, and even reprimand them at times. Yes, you do!<\/p>\n
You are a big sister who tends to mother them!<\/p>\n
You were in doubt at the crossroad of your high school final years.<\/p>\n
You wondered which road to take.<\/p>\n
You chose one direction, then turned to another in confusion.<\/p>\n
You wept in frustration, doubting yourself, your world seemingly chaotic.<\/p>\n
You then stood up, leaning and holding onto the loving arms outstretched to guide you.<\/p>\n
You accepted the help, but not without a gusty fight, trying to have your way.<\/p>\n
You have a mind of your own and a strong will. It is a good thing.<\/p>\n
You chose this road you are now on.<\/p>\n
You followed the deep desire you had within you.<\/p>\n
You pressed on even though the dream was vague and seemed impossible.<\/p>\n
You failed at your first attempt to achieve your goal.<\/p>\n
You almost threw in the towel.<\/p>\n
You wailed and wept.It was a good thing for you grew.<\/p>\n
You stood up again and moved forward one hesitant yet resolute step after the other.<\/p>\n
You’ve made it.<\/p>\n
You’ve achieved your goal at last.<\/p>\n
You tell me that the journey has just begun.<\/p>\n
You are right, but the foundation you laid down, in the beginning, is priceless.<\/p>\n
Soar, fly dear.<\/p>\n
Fix your eyes ahead of you.<\/p>\n
Focus on the price that is your dream.<\/p>\n
You will fall again.<\/p>\n
You will fail again.<\/p>\n
You will hurt again.<\/p>\n
In all this, one thing remains true.<\/p>\n
You will stand again.<\/p>\n
You will grow yet again.<\/p>\n
You will be wiser.<\/p>\n
You will refine and hold tighter to your dream.<\/p>\n
You have fantastic potential, capabilities, gifts, and talents in you.<\/p>\n
You are never alone.<\/p>\n
You know that don’t you, my dear Tash.<\/p>\n
