In English class, we are required to have 3 papers: Thesis, Response Paper, and a Research Paper. It was so stressful because we're all doing it at the same time. Multi-tasking is what our professor wants. We already finished drafting our thesis, and now our homework is to re-outline the response paper and draft it at the same time. We also had a brainstorming for our research paper a while go. EVERYTHING IS JUST CRAZY.
Okay, so I wanna tell you something about writing my thesis.
When we were told that we need to draft it already, I was a little hesitant because I was afraid that my sources aren't enough. Writing a draft while researching takes a lot of time. Oh yeah, my topic is Child Abuse: Life Sentence for Parents who had beaten up their child to death. I chose this topic because I've read cases of death from child abuse and the offenders get only less than 50 years in prison. I mean, c'mon, where is the justice for the precious kids??
If hopefully I will become a lawyer, I wanna fight for children. There's just so much life ahead of them, and I am sure most of them will be great leaders in the future.
Before I started to write my draft, I reviewed my researches and the cases I've got- the Kelsey Briggs and Nixzmary Brown stories. I chose these two stories because I think among the ones I've read, theirs was the most heartbreaking. (search the net for their stories) So yeah, after reading them, I got my paper and pen and started to write the forbidden essay. Thoughts, ideas, and feelings just formed into my mind and my hand just seems to write it automatically. It's really, really amazing. I'm not really that writer type of person, but everything just came out of me.
I know. I know I was inspired...by so many things. Inspired by the two stories I have, inspired by the people around me, inspired because I want to achieve my goals, inspired by JUST A LOT OF THINGS. Oh yeah, I was also inspired by what my professor said. One of the reasons why I was also hesitant to write the draft is because there's so many correction she did on my outline. During consultation, I asked her if I needed to re-write my outline and she said: "no, you can go on with the draft, I know you're capable of doing it." I don't know what has gotten into me, but I just felt so encouraged when she said that. :)
Also, I think I was inspired by my dreams. Yes, my dreams. My dream to be a public servant, to make a big change in the country, and to inspire a lot of people.
You? What makes you inspired the most? :)
