When I was seventeen, I dreamt of how I could impact people’s everyday lives. Although I was a high school student at the time, I always believed I had more to me than just the title of being a “student. ” I also knew that my time of PURPOSE would come soon.
As I sit here writing this blog post. I could not be more grateful to know that I have reached thousands of people worldwide who revolve around my definite definition of serving PURPOSE.
PURPOSE in my WRITING:
Since I was five years old I loved writing. It became a part of me not knowing that I would fall in love with my creative thinking and how I write to others. Since, entering college I have been given a platform to broadcast my articles to people all over the nation to learn who I am as an author as they grasp the ideas, and visualizations of what each article portrays. Seeing how far I have gotten with my writing, I am so proud to know that each article serves a PURPOSE whether it is based on a life lesson, a moment, or a membrane of nostalgia..they all hold a piece of me that built the person I am today.
Purpose in my COMMUNITY:
Since being in college, I have taken on many opportunities. However, the ones that leave me with a fulfilling heart are the opportunities that allow me to reach future generations. Participating in community service events has allowed me to be a true representative of my community, leaving me with an impactful story to remember. Giving back to my community is not just a saying but a call to action rooted in empathy and growth.
I was able to take these steps to serve my community because I began to reevaluate who I was as a person while maintaining a promise to myself: finding ways to reach people in an authentic and positive light. As I continued to grow, that promise soon turned into a reality and I began to understand that this is a reality I always dreamt of. I learned that the dreams I once held in my heart were not only attainable but were waiting for me to claim.
My PURPOSE in ME:
As I write this…I look back on the person I was a few years ago, even a few months ago and I can proudly say that I have come so far in knowing who I am as a person without the titles society places on me. Today, I stand firmly in my truth. I am more than just a student; I am a storyteller, a dreamer, and a person with many gifts to offer the world. Through PURPOSE and life lessons, I am acknowledging who I am because who I am is someone I have been waiting to see and NOW she is her. I am a work in progress, still growing, still learning, and still loving. In what we call SELF-EXPLORATION.
