THE LIGHT THROUGH THE CRACK
<p>Maybe you've heard words like "you are a failure", "you will amount to nothing". These are just English words, but to you, they might feel like a thousand arrows piercing a heart too fragile to take the hit.</p><p><br/></p><p>I haven't travelled the world, or lived for centuries. I am in short, a child, with very little experience of life. Maybe I shouldn't be writing this then, maybe I know nothing about what people go through - or maybe not.</p><p><br/></p><p>Everyone knows what verbal abuse is, but in our generation, too many people assume that only the older ones truly understand its weight. Sadly, the silence we're forced to keep, mixed with the trauma of harsh words, weighs on us young people like a building on a weak pillar.</p><p><br/></p><p>Being a nursing student means juggling academics with the emotional burden of caring for yourself, your colleagues, patients and families. Yet while trying to balance these, students still get abused - sometimes for the languages they speak, sometimes for the schools they come from. Worse, these comments often come from fellow students and even staff nurses.</p><p><br/></p><p>Outside the school setting, the internet and even people close to us, have successfully ignited and fueled a dangerous obsession with wealth, so much that many young people now begin to feel like failures if they've not made their first million by 20.</p><p><br/></p><p>Just like I mentioned earlier, I am a child, I may not know much, but I know this for sure, you are not a failure, all roads lead to this point - a reminder that you've come a long way to get to where you are. </p><p><br/></p><p>You didn't just materialize as this version of you.</p><p> You grew.</p><p>You metamorphosed.</p><p>You transformed.</p><p>You journeyed.</p><p>Look at yourself, you've come a long way, and you should be proud of you.</p>
