Disability (This ability)

For today's assembly, a Paralympian came to talk to us. His name is Mr Jovin Tan, and the talk, it was really quite something. He had a Disability, but This Ability made him accomplish so much, so greatly.

He was on a wheel chair, and he gave a great talk, with so much personality and humour. Well he came from not the most idealistic background, and because of that, he came an even longer way than others with the same situation as him, not to even mention how much more he has achieved as compared to the able-bodied like us. 

Well I know God created all of us equal, and special. We may not have something that others have, but God will make sure that we'll have something else that others don't have, to balance everything out. 

Sometimes, I wonder whether or not we were programmed to go through what we go through. Did God make all these plans when he created each one of us? Did he deliberately plan for every one of us to go through different things? Like when Lizzie died, or when I had chicken pox, and hand-foot-mouth disease, did He make that happen for a reason? I would like to think so... I would like to think that God made everything happen for a reason, but to be honest, sometimes I can't seem to find that reason. 

Mr Jovin Tan found that reason, and made full use of it. He took up sailing, and excelled in it. His personality shines through his talk, and I felt he was so admirable. Sitting in that wheel chair on the stage, looking at a few hundred students, with his mom sitting there, listening to his talk for the first time...

He seemed so small, and yet so big. 

Maybe some day, I'll find the reasons why I am here in the first place. Did God plan for me to do something better than drag myself through everyday? I think He did. And it's really comforting to know that God has planned out something great for you, cuz I do believe that He made every one of us because He Knew that we are meant for something really awesome. I would like to think that God has paved the road for me already, with all the obstacles and the adventures. All I need to do now, is find that road. It's somewhere out there in this land where Dreams Come True, and the Best part is, that land is Here, in This World. I've just gotta find it.
