this movie came out last wk in Singapore but it was already shown in US since Nov last year. When I first saw the trailer, it was pretty exciting and the scenes really showed the extraordinary life-changing experience of a man named Michael Oher, from a boy nearly recruited into street gangs and poor GPAs in schools, to a man who graduates from college, earning places in universities with scholarships and a sportsman in american football.
it really touches the heart and it's not because of the person or the whole experience, but a simple gesture of extending help and reaching out to a helpless man, raising him up to be one of good worth. it simply rocks.
ever imagined how a simple gesture of help and thanks can actually change a life of a person, for the better? talk about impacting lives!
it never requires alot to give. just compassion, love from the heart and passion.
i once dreamt myself doing community services, social work and organising those kind of events.
but that was during poly times when i was already doing those. then later the dream just died. i no longer thought about it, nor talked about it. things didn't seem to go the way i wanted it to be. this probably continued for about 2 years?
then came 2010 when the Haiti earthquake came, the movie 'The Blind Side', CG is planning on some community outreaches, these caught my attention. then this dream somehow got revived and i started to think about it, all over again. how it came about, how it was brought forth and other significant events.
how should i go about doing it? doors seem to close on certain ends, i don't know how to go on from where i am now. friday marks the last day of my work here in NIE. a short break i'll be taking, but time passes very fast.
I need to decide how I want to go on.
