You Inspire Me

  • Little girl, whose just 4 years old, young and innocent. You inspire me everyday when I see you standing by the road waving down a bus all by yourself. 
    • Although you are always drunk, hanging by the rum shop trying to sell produce to feed your habit, you inspire me sir. 
    • Young mother, your 5 children are beautiful. You always look so sad as you walk through my village holding one on each hip with no father in sight. You are doing the best you can. You inspire me.
    • Market woman, who sits in the sun all day to only get a few sales, you inspire me to continue pushing through adversity. 

    • Young man, who has taken the common entrance exam 3 times, failing each time, your continued dedication to passing this round inspires me. I believe in you. 
    • Abused, used and homeless, I see your pain. Keep fighting with everything you have. You inspire me. 
    • Exiled from society for your lifestyle, you continue to break the barriers for equality through determination and passion. Keep fighting young man, someday this world will understand. You inspire me. 
    • Mental illness has a grip on you ma'am, but you never fail to put a smile on everyone's face as you barge into our office daily. You inspire me with your humor. 
    • Sunset, if it weren't for you I wouldn't know what peace is. I look forward to seeing you nightly, and when you appear I know this is exactly where I should be. 
    • Miss, your passion to make our school successful inspires me to continue this journey. There is never a day when you lose sight of the ultimate goal...success for children. You inspire me. 

    • Gentlemen, educated and ready to work, I understand your frustration with the government and economy. Maintain your willingness to work, and you will succeed. You inspire me. 
    • Dedicated to fighting for women's rights, never married with no kids, you remind me of the goal ahead and the path we've already been down. Keep fighting, you inspire me. 
    • Local friends, with no sense of time and no worries in the world, you remind me to slow down and enjoy the moment. Thank you for inspiring me. 
    • Politics is your passion, willing to live and die for it. But I see through your public face, you just want an end to poverty. You inspire me. 
    • HIV is ravaging your body, yet you find the will power to come to work everyday, dedicated to the cause. You inspire me. 
    • Family, separated by time zones, never by love. You inspire me.
