As The Tree of Life Grows

    To me, emotions are the roots to our actions. I compare both our thoughts and emotions to a tree. Think of it as the tree of life. As you grow, you attain more knowledge of who you are and what you do. Today my emotions were again, quite scattered. Srey May and Srey Nyet, two little girls at the orphanage asked me to be their sister.When they asked me, I was more than ecstatic and quite speechless with both of them at first. That was only because I was incredibly astonished by them. Those little girls knowing me for as short of a time as they have, and trusting me enough to allow me to take on that sister role, was surprising. I was so overjoyed and of course I said yes. If that experience was a part of the tree, I would call it a supportive branch because I can look back and remember it after I leave and look to it whenever I need support or even a little slice of happiness. 

    The children, to me, are like sunshine. They have nothing, yet they give everything and anything they can. They have given three bracelets and one necklace so far, all hand made, which means a lot to me.They're additionally like the sun in that even when they give and aren't treated with the respect they deserve, or are even noticed, they just continue to give. They never cease to give as the sun never ceases to shine.
    The boys' house is being built incredibly fast. I am so glad that I could be a part of something so important that it will be utilized to it's last stand. Just as I have now decided to actually live until my tree of life finally falls.
