Yet
another week has passed and our plants are still a work in progress. Our plants
continue to grow taller, stem thickening as the days pass by. Its leaves
becoming more define, so much so, you are now able to see patterns on top of
them. But, with our salad day just a couple of weeks away I am starting to feel
doubtful that out plants will be mature enough for Wei and me to harvest any
vegetables from them at all. Which would be a disappointment, but it is still a
work in progress. Our plants will
one day bare fruit, it may not be on June 13th, the day of our salad
day, and it may not be on June 30th. But one day it will.
One day I will graduate
from college, one day I will walk across a stage, no matter where it may be,
and I will receive my degree. Though right now it may just be a dream of mine, I
know that one day all of the hard work that I am doing will pay off. Don’t get
me wrong, there are those days where I am not so confident, days that I feel
doubtful that my dream of achieving a degree will ever materialize. Those are
the days that I have to remind myself that I (like our plants) am a work in progress
and that one day the seeds of knowledge that were planted on April 2nd
2012 will indeed one day bare fruit in the form of a college degree. And on that day, I am going to enjoy one of the largest salads the world has ever seen.
One can not gain success with out doubt, use it to fuel your gains for success.
ReplyDeleteGreat description you just said. Your plants are growing but not as fast as they would be if they were growing outside. I recieved the feeling as though you were comparing your life with the plant. Even if the plant is in doubt and not growing with success, it will after a matter of time and patience. Just like a erson needs to be while taking courses in college, patience and confidence that you will achieve your goals and what you want to become. Just eep trying and enjoy what you are doing.
ReplyDeleteI think even if we can't enjoy the plant then at least we get the two of you and your guys great attitudes!! That almost got me teary eyed, haha! I think that since we planted inside it made a bit of a difference. On with your journey :)
