.:Life goes on....:.
Sharon got out of bed, like every morning.Dread to attend school.I was a Tuesday, sunny spring weather.After getting herself ready, she headed down for breakfast.Cuddles with mom and blows her a kiss.Dad come down a second later ,"morning sweetie!" he said.Morning dad! She replied.Breakfast was done with and soon she hop on to dad's sleek black Holden Commodore.Normally, it is just dad that drops Sharon to school, but today mum is tagging along as she had an appointment with a friend in the city.Dropping Sharon off at school she exchanged good bye with her parents.
The school bell rings which indicates that school is over.Sharon was delighted ,what more excited to show her parents that she has an A+ for her maths test.Packing her bag she said to herself, what a beautiful day! Dashing out the classroom, her were wide open scounting for dad's car.Suddenly, she was tapped on the shoulder.She looks back with a fright as it caught her off guard.It was her class teacher Ms. Mullen. Sharon was very surprised that Ms. Mullen tapped her on her back.Something was different, Ms.Mullen was sobbing as she hugs Sharon.Wondering what has happend, She asked what was wrong.All her teacher did was she pulled Sharon aside under a tree.
I could remember what Ms.Mullen told me that day, said Sharon. Looking at her , I could only guess what had happend.Sharon's parents died in a car accident while they were on their way to pick her up at school.She was 14 then.Now 23, pursuing a business degree.I ponder on that little tale that was shared to me.Gosh, she must have been through a lot.More than what I have been through.I could imagine me being in her shoes, I would have fell and never rise up again.14 is a very vulnerable age.She could have got herself into drugs and be the scum of the world.But she didnt,she push on.
Sharon told me, it has never been smooth going sinced her parents died.However, she also did say life goes on.After hearing what she had shared, I was amazed by her will to live.Not just live a life , but live it with a purpose.Remind me that I should be thankful that everyday that I live in is a better day than a thousands of people out there.Though I complain,but there is someone out there who want the life that I am having....
**The names are fictional, but the story is true....
