A Life Long Calling

I am not one to write about how I feel or how I view the world, so when this all seems so jumbled, bare with me.  Through my 2 years at Utah State I have learned that not all Superheroes have wings or can knock over buildings. Rather they are the ones who face the most difficult times and yet find a way to see the good of it all. For the longest time I always wanted to be in the military or hold a career where people saw me out there fighting for a cause. But not all people are cut out for that and I am one of them. I have found a calling. A calling in my life where I can change a life. A calling that wont make me rich or famous by any means, a calling that not many people would ever consider. My calling: To become a Social Worker. It may not be the brightest job around or maybe even the most fun. But, lately I have had this inner feeling that everybody is need of some help in some way, shape or form. My life as hard as it seems sometimes is so blessed and full or opportunities. I just wish people could see the good in each and every person because, as my professor says daily never judge a person whether you know them or not because, "you never know what battles a person may be fighting". My goal in life: To give everyone a fair shot at what they deserve, to give them a chance at a life worth living. How did all of this come about, how did I realize there is always good? Well, as I have grown close to my 9 year old cousin with Down Syndrome, I have learned that he may have more medical problems than me or other things he has to deal with, but he IS the happiest person I know. He is the best big brother around. He judges no one, no matter what they look like or how they act. He just runs around with a smile across his face being friends to anyone that is willing to give him a chance. He is my Superhero. So as you go on with your day, take a second to smile at a stranger, tell someone you love them or just be a friend. Because one day, you will be the stranger who needs a little sign of hope. 

Well, there you have it.
