So we’ve been here for almost a
month and my outlook on life has already begun to change. I decided to take part of this program
because of the amazing things past participants have said and the way they
mentioned this program changed their lives. I knew I wasn’t going to come back
as the same person I was, but I wasn’t expecting to start seeing the changes so
quickly. Just by seeing the way people of the townships live makes me realize
how fortunate I am and it has made me see my life in another way. During
Marita’s class we’ve discussed the tendencies we have of comparing “up” or
always looking at things other people have and compare them to the things we
lack. By doing so, we end up not feeling content with our own lives and wish we
could have the luxuries of other people. This whole outlook is completely
flawed in my opinion; we need to start comparing “down” and seeing how
fortunate and lucky we are to have what we have.
