Vision

I’m sure you experience having a vision during your silent moments. It happens to me a lot of times too, specially I’m typically quiet, and tends to be swallowed in my own world.

While riding the fx on my way home the other day, I had a vision about one of my big ambitions. It’s still rather vague so I guess the universe still has a difficulty helping create an easy path for me.  The good thing is it that my vision is not merely thinking of wanting to change the world one person at a time (come to think of it, this has been one of my mantras, my driving force why I’m pursuing my current career).

I’m a leader. I’m leading a community of some sort. I am capable of multitasking. I’m still a doctor, but I’m also teaching a group of children. The community holds meetings where we think of various activities and other livelihood projects. It seems like a community based rehabilitation that we’re having right?

But thinking about it more, I actually thought of something greater. If I will be successful enough, I have a vision to be in a institution, who knows I may be the one of the founders (and I don’t care if I’m already old when that time comes) but I will be equally happy to even just contribute to something like it. My dream is to be in an institution that helps special children.

 It was in highschool when I first encountered ”autisim”, knew that Beethoven was deaf, and that special children have exceptional abilities that most of the time are not even noticed. Here began my interest in learning more about disability (of course before, I didn’t exactly know that disability means difficulty in functioning in the society not really because of an illness but because of the constraints made by the environment). One day, I’ll be making a study still focusing on the abilities of special children (such as delay in gross development, autism and other behavioral problems. Who knows I might help develop a program that may put to use my passion for music as well.

The institution I’m thinking is a home, a school and a center for research. Getting to know Dra. A (a developmental pediatrician) in college gave me the idea to pursue the same specialization.

There’s nothing wrong in dreaming. I’ll do that in time, no matter how long it takes. As to how much I can achieve, I don’t know yet but if ever my own lifetime won’t be enough for me to reach my own peak, I’m willing to wait for my next life.

If ever you happen to share the same goal, leave a comment and share your dreams, let’s merge our dreams and cook up something. (You just have to wait till I finish studying which is in about 7 years
