“You are here for a reason and even if it takes your whole life, you owe it to yourself to finding out what your reason is”
those words were spoken to me by my guidance counselor. In fifth grade I was in, I was only 10 years old. I was set to graduate from elementary school at the time. A day after graduation, he was giving “the talk” to every student. We had a long and fascinating discussion about my projected future. But when our conversation was over, he told me to write those words down in my notebook. Then he instructed me to write it down somewhere I would remember it. Then he advised me to use the words as wisdom if I ever find myself in a difficult situation in life.
I didn’t give what he said at the time much thought, but as I became older and more mature, I realized that my entire life had been a journey of discovering who I am and what I came to this world to do. When I realized the actual significance of what he had said, it really helped me get through the period when I was questioning my own existence and wondering if I was just one person among many. My decision to choose a college major was directly related to what my guidance counselor stated. To this day the quote he made for me will forever be in my mind.
No need to put the word “TItle” into your title! Look at the other student posts to see example. AND no need to choose more than one category. JUST ONE CATEGORY!
These words from your counselor are wise. Who was this counselor? Name? Description? Did you have a special connection to this counselor. Where did this convo happen? This seems like a serious talk for a 10-year old. What kind of person was your guidance counselor?
Need a dialogue here: We had a long and fascinating discussion about my projected future. — Can you give me the exact words, show me what counselor said, what you said?
You: I didn’t give what he said at the time much thought, but as I became older and more mature — When was the first time you were older and you heard these words echoing in your mind? Did you find that notebook again? Did you come to a hardship and need those words? What was the situation and where were you as you thought back to those words?
You: the period when I was questioning my own existence and wondering if I was just one person among many — can you give details: When was this question time? Were you at a crossroads? What hardship were you facing?
