4500-meter Dream Relay

After finishing the wealth course and after becoming a part of the core team of Create Abundance Business Community (ca2020), I realized that I am inside the same cage where my parents are. Everyday, I see them climb that wheel participating in the game of life called The Rat Race and I promised myself not to join them. I really thought I have taken a different path but no because I am taking the path that will lead to employment, but this time, it is only a bigger wheel. They have started this race and as long as this is not finished, it will continue from generation to generation. This might be hard and fearsome for me but I am taking a big step to change my generations’ quadrant.

I am an athlete and I have dreamed to be a master in all sports in the athletic meet in school. It can be exhausting but I will enjoy it a lot. Actually, I am a Provincial Meet champion in elementary table tennis. Yes, I only play table tennis and other sports that are not that tiring. I know how to play basketball but I am not very good at it because I do not play a lot. In games, what really matters is commitment and persistence because with that, you will be eager to learn and earn so much experience to be an expert. I also know how to run but not running fast. In a 100-meter dash, you have to be fast in order to win and you need to have the stamina in order to finish running. In this game, finishing first matters because the rewards and recognition are only available for those who finish first.

In life, we are also engaged in sports- we run for our dreams and sometimes we run for the dreams others have painted inside our minds while we are young. Running for our dreams is like competing with ourselves in a 4500-meter relay that when we cannot fulfill our biggest dream, we tend to pass it to our later generation. My parents have already passed the baton to me. I have been born inside the cage since my parents decided to live inside it. Every day, they would go inside that wheel of employment for us to live and for all of us to survive. Our parents are our primary teachers and it is always true. With their example, we dream and that dream is tainted with what we see. They set the example, then we either become like them or not like them. Both my parents are elementary school teachers and it opened my eyes that being in that profession won’t give me what I want in life. That is the main reason why I am in a different field right now. It is also their dream for the four of us to be a graduate on time in whatever field we choose – no extensions; and it has also become my dream not to fail them.

I will become a CPA and I will be a multimillionaire!
