That is a question I asked myself after watching a featured video in our local news channel last night.
The news featured a orthopedic surgeon, who lives in Puerto Princessa Palawan, Philippines,studied in Europe and worked there but did not find satisfaction in his heart that he choose to be back in the Philippines for a community service.
He provides wheel chairs for those who do not have a proper one, surgery, check up, he gives them,support, and this is a very big help for his constituents who are not able to avail those kind of privileges because of money scarcity. He renew their lives, I mean those people maybe though it's the end of their world for being someone who are not able to walk or even stand, He gives them life, in a way He changed them, He inspired them.
I thank God for using this man, who is a big help to many people. With God all things are possible he is able to touch anyone whenever he wants just to help his sons and daughters who called Him.
As Korina Sanchez,the news anchor, threw her line "Who's life are you going to change?".
I asked myself too, In my own way I can't really remember If I have changed someone's life, I just helped other's through my connections, I send some pupils to get full scholarship in a university, through a government assistance, but through my own ability I honestly can't remember one, and I prayed to God, Lord who's life do you want me to change? And I remembered my devotion Jesus Said " you are salt of the earth...You are a light in the middle of darkness." I know that He means I should share His words and that's how He will change someone's Life through Me., and I am very willing to do it, to be used by Him, because, I do not have any extravagant skill like the orthopedic surgeon, I only have His words.
Now my answer to that question is, I wanted to change the lives of the people who are lost through Him.
We are not of the same belief and situation, I would like to ask you guys in your own way Who's life do you want to change?.:)

I change the life of students that have low self esteem, learning difficulties and a miserable time at school. When I was a student teacher the class teacher pointed out a boy and told me how bad he was. I gave him a chance to get better self esteem, more friends and get better with school work. I praised his work and got him to play with some kind children. I took notice of him and he did well. I have carried on doing this sort of thing in my teaching career.
My younger son is disabled. He has got spina bifida and hydrocephalus. He has got a shunt in his head and wears splits on his legs. He had a hip operation in March and a foot plus leg operation in June. He had his legs in plaster for a long period of time. We see surgeons and consultants on a regular basic. My son has a lovely looking wheelchair that he is able to self propel.

Being a teacher really changes ones life, I hope you were one of my teacher when i am in school, because sometimes teachers build characters that will be feared by students that's why instead of learning something about academics sometimes they learn fear
