Within a span of 1 month, many things had happened and as usual and sometimes all you need is just… a nice place to sit down, clear your thoughts in your mind and re-start the whole process properly again. However, our thoughts always require to react on the spot and sometimes, we get affected by the decisions we made is good or bad.

I guess, one of the most recent cases had deeply affected me and caused me to think a lot about the thoughts of a young person mind. Apparently, I had this case, B, and he repeatedly made mistakes and with the short 3 months of conversation with him, I thought to myself, with the big mess he created, the complications in the family, who’s in place to be responsible? Is it necessary for someone to be responsible? …or like many say, the boy’s decision and I guess, I’m also one of them who say, it’s definitely the boy’s choice. But really it is? If we draw back to the starting point, was it us, was it him? We all do not know, but can we do anything to prevent it?

From then onwards, I questioned myself what a future social worker I want to be like? How would my thoughts and feelings affect my judgement as a social worker? Would my position now be the same as a social worker in future? Am I able to bear the turmoil that is going through both parties? How confident and decisive I am with my decisions?

Once again, I instilled fear in the things I really want to do. I don't know how much motivation I need to move on but I'm thankful for the great amount of motivation and inspiration from the people I meet around everyday. I guess, in the first 20s of my life, I'm truly thankful and super grateful of the people I need and give me opportunities to shine the way I should, at my own expertise. The confidence people gave me made me felt that I'm able to make all im-possiblities to I-M-possible to do it again. :)

Sharing with the schoolmates 

Had a group activity with the team and we were told to write a quote each, and I received "this too shall pass." It's amazing how God sent messages in such a manner, with the power of your friends encouragement.

My first session with the mentees

Another team I'm thankful for, being in EA, I see hope, dreams alive in the youths of many. It's no big rara event, but I guess, it's the times together it matters. If I am able to make a little tiny impact in their life, I guess, that's what keep me moving as well?

With the old schoomate on a community service trip

I guess being thankful for another thing is that the old schoolmate had come together to join me onboard for a good cause. I'm grateful for people who are willingly to give a try, take the step out of comfort zone. They can, I can, you can, we can do it together :)

A cause helping another cause

MINDS MYG was doing their flag day and I'm thankful to be able to contribute that little bit with a smile and thank you for the good job done. Even the smallest act of caring can made a difference to a person's day.

Fatin and Hadi

Fatin and Hadi were my mentees in East Timor Trip and I'm truly thankful to be part of their lives and they being part of my life, had allowed to be confident and grow stronger to help the youths today.

If you could list down the things you're thankful for the day, what will it be?
