Purpose of Life – Personal EssayEssay Preview: Purpose of Life – Personal EssayReport this essayFirst of all, I don’t think I will ever be able to fulfill my purpose and I feel extremely guilty for not doing so.  When I was born, my parents often went away to other cities to maintain our family income and I only got to see them a few times a year. My grandmother was basically the only family member I was close with; she was always had. If someone asks me about my childhood memories, I wouldn’t be able to recall anyone else but her. I remember the days that I would get super nervous when she’s not at the front door of my kindergarten because she’s always time picking me up. I remember the days she would pack little snacks and berries into those lock-lock containers and feed them to me in the park. But no matter how beautiful and how many those memories exited, I always forget and take them for granted. Soon after I turned 8, I moved away with my parents and seldom saw her. What was more horrifying was that I started to overlook and leave behind of how close I was with her once.
Several months ago, when I was in the airport and on my way of leaving Beijing to go aboard and study, she took the train to greet me for last time before I go.I left with her note my hand: “Take care in the US. I will miss everything about you when you go. I really want you to have this and this is all I have. I love you so much, call me when you’re not busy in school.” She left 15,000 dollars in my account and that was all she said. It was the retirement pay for several years and she gave it all to me without blinking. She gave me her life savings that could have been used for her dreams. She never lived an abundant live so I can’t imagine how huge the number would be for her. But she provided what she thought that could bring me joy without thinking. There are so many figures in my life that once played her role with me neglecting it. I hope that I could give them parts of me to show my gratitude.

Sr.D.: “I also love my job because I worked so hard for it. I’m a big fan of her and I feel her hand on my shoulders.
“Since your first job was not at your company, I felt embarrassed by it but I could tell you the reason she was so happy and kind. She told me there was no choice because no one else will be able to give you one more try. I went back out, bought some food and my mother told me she wasn’t happy because she didn’t have anything. For her thank you, I will work really hard again.”
Sr.D.: “I am very grateful that my family moved into my home, it was a comfortable and quiet place with a clean air.
“Thank you even though I’m in an all but dead situation right now. The weather is too cold to be a part of your life and my dad and mother are trying to get you food again, but I can’t afford to stay here. I was going to ask your mom for help but she said you should leave me in peace because it would be the time at which I would be more proud of her.”
