Where do you want to be in five years?

When I first came to America I wanted a huge big house and the neighborhood that has a pool and lets not forget all the right connections, or so I thought. Yet today as I sat in an interview been asked where I wanted to be in five years I found myself changed, yes I want financial security but where I want to be in five years is now very different than five years all those years ago. My brothers death and my divorce has changed me. I want to see water piped into places which do not have it, I want to see children feel water running down their hands instead of muddy dirty water, I want to see women unit and be changed and empower each other. That is why I started a group to help women empower each other.
There is so many words out there to discourage us and tear us down, yet leaving something in this world that brings hope, empowers me to believe that all this is not for nothing.
I maybe a person who sees life in a different way now, but I am just one person and one person that person being you can make a difference. So what are you going to do?
Please have a cup of tea with me today.
