a stab of conscience

greetings loves,
i was requisitioned to write an essay on the topic,
A Person Who Had Greatly Influenced Me
With her soft and demure look, she looks like any other human being, a mother, a teacher. that is exactly what she is. I have had a fair share of people who occasionally leaves a big impact in my life. Howbeit, never in my seventeen years of life had i ever met a person who prevailed me as she did. I was a girl who had no clue on how to straighten out her priorities, a girl who takes for granted in everything life bestowed her, a girl who never learns to be appreciative towards the wonders of life, a girl so young and naive as to how significant the future is. She had the patience that many people don't, that many people crave for. She perpetually keeps her composure without fail, albeit my being a very stubborn learner and apathetic as to what she was teaching.
She once asked me whether i see myself going to work in an elegant attire or a casual attire, exactly ten years from now. At first, i was at a loss by her intention of asking such a question. Her answer on the other hand, surprised me. She told me that if i dream of going to work in an elegant and expensive attire, thus i should start striving for it. It got me thinking, how nice it would be to go to work in an elegant attire and being looked up by others. I am pretty sure everyone would love to be looked up by others, simply considering that its the nature of human minds. Inside everyone, there is a yearning to be the best, yet only some strive for it. Up till the moment i first met her, i was one of the many people that only yearns, yet never indubitably strive for it.
I claim myself to be one of the many people who are blessed enough to enunciate myself as her learner. Knowing her, had me realized how one's future is equally significant to his or her present life. Thus in life, we need to work hard for both our present life and our future life. What's more, she taught me both the proper way in keeping my priorities straight and also the need to always keep them intact. i am not implying that i have my priorities impeccably straighten out . I am still a learner thus, i am still learning. Not to mention, she has taught me to be more appreciative towards the wonders of life as well as to never take what life bestows me for granted.
Truth be told, there had been quite a number of moments when i secretly felt like breaking down and letting my tears flow down onto her open arms. Be that as it may, never had i showed her any sign of being defeated, not even once. I blame this big ego on the promise that i had once made to myself, to never let myself be so weak and fragile to another's eyes. Come to think of it, she would be one of the person besides my mother that i would disregard if i were ever to break that promise. Throughout the time that i had known her, she has prevailed me to become a better person as well as changing my perception towards life. For that, i am thankful.
Frankly, she is not only my teacher but also, my friend.
love,
aniss :)
