In small and large ways, we are all inspired. We draw our inspiration from people, pictures, art, music, behavior, nature, etc. Consider something that inspires you and write a blog post of 300-350 words about it. Here are some things you may touch on:
- Describe the source of your inspiration- be specific and detailed.
- What feelings or emotions do you experience?
- Are you alone or do you share this inspiration with others? Are you aware of others having an alternate reaction to your source of inspiration?
- Forecast how long you think this inspiration will last- does it inspire you in the moment or something that you will derive inspiration from for the years to come?
The source of my inspiration is struggle. When I say struggle, I mean the struggle that my family that my family and I has endured. The same struggle that I will not allow my daughter to come in contact with. All through my life I have had to watch my mother do things and work jobs that she didn’t want to, In order to make ends meet. Sometimes we went without because all she enough money for was the rent and sometimes she could not come up with that. The struggle had gotten so bad that we had to move from where we were staying. We stayed in motels and shelters because she had lost her job and that was our only option. She finally found a low end job that allowed us the opportunity to gain housing once again but still the struggling came with it. Which meant some days going without food, having to eat leftovers for days? This is pushes me to do better because never in a million years would I want my daughter to live the life I was deprived to. The struggle that inspires me also inspires my little brother big brother and my mother. As a family we strive to make our future brighter than our past. Today we are not struggling like we once were but we are not where we need to be in life, so that does not change that fact this will forever be my inspiration. Through life as I am trying to accomplish all my goals the things that I have been through will always push me forward. I even believe that once get to where I am trying to go I will still hold on to this inspiration. I have many other inspirations but this one here drives me the most.
