Section 10-2: The End: What motivates you?

So we are finally here. The End. The fruit of my labours. The final words inked. The crisis resolved. It's been quite the ride, and a week from now all of this will just be part of my memories. Fitting that the last chapter we studied was on motivation. If you think the next bit is off topic, it's not. In a very real way this is what this class has taught me.

What motivated me to come here and study? Why did I come back to school? I have reached the need for self-actualization. I've had higher paying jobs than I am in right now. I have lived in nicer homes than I currently reside. I have had more friends in the past. I have had less stress in my life by not attending school. I used to be someone else, I used to be dependant on someone else. I almost lost a family member while harboring hate towards them. I now live with that man, and I love him. I have watched a friend lose his mind. I have lost my own. I missed out on moments I will never get back. All of this because of paying too much attention to the other, and not myself. I had to have everything I knew ripped out from underneath me... and I had to survive that experience in order to grow and become who I am today.

My name is Paul Robin Kyle Wilson. I have learned. I am smarter than I ever gave myself credit for. I have great potential, that was previously unfulfilled. I owe myself more than I will ever owe anyone else. I will be all that I can be, and be a light for those around me. I believe in the power of the human spirit and its ability to get souls through their darkest hours. I am Paul Robin Kyle Wilson. I have finished growing up. I am now expanding my Horizons.

The End.


Thank you for sticking with me through this presentation.
I hope you have found it in some way practical in your own life,
and I hope that no matter where your journey takes you you find
success, love, joy, happiness, comfort, compassion and strength.
PRKW.
