People come in and out of our lives every day. Some stay for awhile and others stay a short time but leave a lasting impression. I truly believe in fate and that things happen for a reason. I guess as I get older I realize how unpredictable life can be. I have known some great people who's stories were cut short for unfair reasons. These people have left lasting impressions on me and my outlook on life. I have no clue what my fate has in store nor do I care to find out. But I do know that I want to live my life with no regrets. I want to leave a lasting impression on every person I come in contact with. I want my life to mean something.
I look at the people I have met who fit into my story. Besides the obvious ones like my friends and family, there are others that I think of often and the reason I do is because they have moulded who I am today. For instance, Dr. Engel. I met Dr. Engel on a pretty bad day and he was a bearer of bad news. But I don't remember him for that.. I remember him because of the relationship he built with me and my family over the years. He was an amazing man and doctor. I don't think there is one person in my life that has ever made me feel so comfortable and just at ease. I could try to explain him but I know I could not do him justice. About 5 years ago, he took a position in Kingston and I haven't seen him since. I don't know if I will ever have the opportunity to thank him but I am so glad to have met him. He will always be in my heart and I will always be forever thankful that he came into my life.
Dr. Engel is just one of many people who have affected my outlook. These people have made me want to be a better person and lead a better life. I want to be a Dr. Engel to someone. I want to leave a lasting impression...
Life is unpredictable but that's what makes it so exciting. Instead of wasting your time worrying about what could happen, start living... Be that person who people look up to and admire... Leave a lasting impression!
