A Royal Voyage
Sometimes
life brings to you the unexpected, something new and exciting. OYA to me
personally was a breath of fresh air. Something that inspired me to take a step
forward, help people and make them happy. I wanted to do something different
for a change and when the opportunity presented itself I took it.
OYA is more
than just an organisation; it is something the people enjoy being a part of,
helping people and making them smile is what makes us who we are. Being a part
of OYA has taught me a lot of things not just that there are people who need us
but that it is a whole new experience in itself. It has helped me open up to
people, meet new ones and strengthen the bonds of the old. Making new friends
was my worst trait but now I feel as if it were my best. Helping the kids is
what brings me joy as we all know that the children are our future so helping
them is helping our future.
Yes people do have problems in life but no one is
perfect and that’s what makes us human but solving the problems together is
what OYA strives to achieve. It is fun playing with the children. It brings
great joy and changes in my life and interacting with them I too know that I am
doing the same with theirs. A two way process where we both get the benefits
and learn from one another.
I hope to be
a good role model for the children and help them become the best so that they
may pass on the knowledge to the future generation. Even a small change in the
present can have the biggest impact on the children in the future just as a
small snow ball rolling down a snowy hill can cause an avalanche. I would like
to become that person that the children look up to and come to when in a sticky
situations.
Trust is something that is slowly and steadily built in OYA. Friendship
is one other thing we in OYA value a lot. Between the children, the interns,
the mentor trust and friendship is what binds us and holds us together. Joining
OYA has changed my perspective of life. It has taught me that opening your life
to new choices brings in new changes in life. I am glad I got the chance to
join and be a part of OYA because even though it is small I know my life has
changed for the better.
