Aspiration

I like to think of myself an optimistic realist. But seldom reality kicks in and I start to doubt my capability to actually achieve these seemingly over my head goals. That is exactly why I have not, so far, fully shared my aspirations with virtually anyone. Today, I have, off the top of my head, decided to do just that with anyone that might end up reading this. But before I do and you end up knocking down my theories, you need to know some basic things about me. So, who is Saron? I was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I am the sixth child of my parents, who were fairly poor at that time. I was diagnosed with high myopia, which is kind of a fancy word for near nearsightedness. I had a ‘normal’ childhood.

That is the greatest achievement I could ever imagine and the more lives I change the better. Will I make it there? Even though every part of my body believes so, I’m not sure and that uncertainty is the beauty of life. So, it doesn't matter who you are or where you’re from, you can always throw your ball to the highest. Even if you might not get it, you will at least reach a better level than you would have if you aimed for less.
