Lotus Flower

   A lotus flower grows just to reach the top surface of the water, and blooms. I am a flower who struggles to reach the top, and hasn't bloomed yet. The deep water consumes me whole, and strengthens me further. I am a child growing to become a beautiful flower.

   In this dark and lonely world, I encountered different problems, but I faced them to learn and grow stronger. I am not always strong, that's why I also rely on my peer. My parents are not always there for me, that's why I need to be independent. I wish that my parents would always support me like  a pot. In school, I always try my best to reach my goals. I have so many ambitions in life that it makes me want to bloom faster. I want to explore what's above the water. I know that there is a limit to everything, that's why I wanted to reach my limit and break it to open the doors of the impossible, and make it possible.

   In the end  I realized that, even though I don't have a pot supporting me, I can always just float in the water and bathe under the sunlight. I should know how to be independent. I should work hard and give effort to everything I would do. I know that all of my hard work will be paid off in the future.
