The obstacles in our lives are put there for a reason. We all need to learn from our good bad and indifferent experiences. This semester at Humber College has been a ho-hum semester where my perception is based on the reality that people don't want to work when it's nice outside. Life just seems to require a different balance when the temptation of frolicking in the life giving rays of sun are there... I learned not to take life so seriously, because I'd be the only one seemingly doing so. However, something very serious had happened to me this semester. On June nineteenth a few days after carefully considering returning to my previous field of employment because of my boredom with the curriculum at school I was struck by an SUV while crossing the street. I had the right of way, I didn't see any vehicle approaching the intersection but there I lay, struck down as an innocent bystander. The woman driving who failed to yield to my right of way didn't even get out of the vehicle to ask of I was alright. Clearly, I wasn't, even after awakening from being knocked unconscious I was not alright. I was in pain but I looked around and people were everywhere . Compassionate concern came from all
Around the scene of the crime. I wanted to get up and walk away but the pain overtook me. I was lying still as blood pooled from my nose. I looked up to the sky, thanking my father for a purposeful life. In all my boredom my complaint was squashed as my recovery fill my time, I have calibrated myself to take care of myself. I want to live and I want to live a purposeful life. That experience taught me much needed wisdom ...
