Day #20: Write about someone who inspires you (30 Day Writing Challenge)

About what I think about myself, I think I lack a lot of things, like a lack of personal talents and a lack of a good attitude and mannerism. When I am walking alone and I happened to be behind a person who was walking as slow as a snail, I would reflectively roll my eyes. The action happens naturally. I probably do that because in my mind, I have to amuse myself about the situation but to other people's POV, they may view me as rude and impatient. Obviously they can't tell that that small action meant nothing. 

Whenever I look at the people around me, I think that they are much better than me, in terms of accomplishments, talents and attitudes. At the same time, they are merely strangers to me and even after numerous conversations, I would still not know them inside and out. Maybe they were only projecting themselves as the way they want others to view them. I've known some people for years. I consider myself close with them and vice versa. Still, it does not mean I know everything about them. They are the same age as me after all so I guess I can't really choose someone from my age group to be inspired by. I'm not implying that they lack maturity. It's just maybe they probably have similar experiences with me because we are born in the same generation and have similar education.

SO, the person who inspires me is someone who I've known since quite young. She isn't taught formally in school like me. Actually she has no education certifications. She actually learnt her native language from the way people use around her and she built her vocabulary from there. I find that truly amazing. According to some stories, she was quite strict to her three children, giving them harsh punishments so that they would learnt their lessons. It is quite hard to believe she used to be so strict since she is now quite composed and calm. Of course, she nags from time to time but she only does that because she cares. She is an incredibly helpful person - she takes care of others really well and they feel indebted towards her when they have grown older. She has an incredibly pure heart - full of good intentions for others and without asking for conditions and rewards in return. I strive to be like her. To be so unconditionally caring and concerned for others.
