Relationship with Place

My relationship with "place"? When i see that question, I see it as asking what is your position in this world? This is a very good question to ask everyone and not just one person, because I believe that everyone has a "place" in this world and has a purpose or a job to do while they are here. But more specifically, I believe my "place" or relationship to it is to help others in this world. I was raised by my parents to be selfless, humble, and to always know that someone else has it worse than you. My parents used to say when I was younger, "If life was all about you, then God wouldnt have created everyone else". I have always kept that thought in my mind whenever I come into contact with other people. I also would say what determines your "place" in this world, is all the problems, situations, hard times, and struggles that one person goes through. Every day that you live, you get to learn more about yourself and how much you are capable of getting things accomplished.

You can probably already see what Im going to say about the importance of having a sense of "place". Having a sense of who you are, what you want to do with your life, and who you want to become later in life can give you an identity to yourself. Like I said earlier, you go through life figuring out who you are by living life and facing problems as well as getting past them. So having a "place" here is not something that can be rewarded or earned, but only realized and recognized. And once you do figure out who you are, you get to spend the rest of your life working hard to make it perfect or as close to perfect as you can.
