My vision=My dream=God's purpose FOR me.

Yesterday I had a talk with Uncle Mike over lunch. I shared him what I want to be in the future, that is, my vision from God. I have being seeking His purpose for years and finally I thought this is what God wants me to do.

First of all, I think every child with special need has different kinds of dreams for their future. Take the blind children I have been working with as an example. Though conversations we as volunteers knew that they are talented and not all of them want to be a massagist. Besides, we taught them and gave them chances to show their talent---instruments, poetry reading, singing, dancing etc. each week. They loved our lessons and had a lot of fun! From this example what I want to express is that children are young and they need someone to show them guidance. When we were young, our parents were the ones who taught us what we can be in the future. However, as for those blind children I worked with, no one has showed them way. All the people around them simply want to kindergarten them; let them survive instead of to live a life.

As for my vision, I want to pursuit my postgraduate in either special education or speech pathology. I want to make a difference, even if I can only influence one individual. I wish I can work in the U.S., learn more professional knowledge and gain experience. Most importantly, I will raise money for special need kids and invest a school in China that practice inclusive education. Besides, I wish I can organize a summer camp which not only provide children with interesting activities but also teach them how to play instruments and other kinds of arts, such as poetry reading, singing, dancing etc.

This dream would be hard, but as long as I am walking in His path, I will make it.

I began this article and finished it after 2 days; thus my idea is not as sequence. But I wish I have expressed it clearly and this is a record that I want to review in a few years.
