FREEDOM

I have always been free ever since I was born. My parents never hindered my dreams and my ambition even though they wanted me to be something more than what I wanted to be, they never failed to support my dreams. Freedom differs because there are three levels of it: freedom from, to and for. In my younger years, I did not have much experience on what it is to be free from. Whenever there are parties of my friends, or school trips, I am not usually allowed, and if I am permitted, there is always a condition that I have to bring a nanny. Even just to play outside our very house is a no-no for me. Nevertheless, I am thankful that my parents deprived me of not doing those things and I understand and appreciate their most noble reason of keeping me safe. There was a time when I thought the world would crumble down if I am not allowed to go, but I was wrong…. There was a school field trip in grade five or six. My mother told me to ask for daddy’s permission. My dad is not at all that strict, he just worries much. Anyways, we had a conflict about some matter. And I, being quite stubborn, would not talk to him until he approaches me first. However, I was so desperate to ask his permission that night because the next day, he and mom will go to Dipolog. Yet, I have no guts to talk to him so I decided to write a note and I placed it in his pillow. The next day, I never expected his reply and I somehow felt guilty about our little argument. He checked the underline, which said “yes” and not only that, he left me a note too! It said, “I love you”. The time when I found out that he allowed me, I was so happy, I felt so free that finally my fear of not being able to go with my friends finally subsided but my conscience did bother me because I got mad at him and all he did was to forgive and love me! My freedom from experiences are the things that I ask my parents and they will provide me with what I want like the experience, they let me go to the trip without a nanny.

Freedom to is later practiced in my life; when I grew up and developed a more responsible character. I experienced freedom to when my parents gave me the right to at least choose some things I am capable of handling at my age. There was an experience wherein I felt freedom to…. I was never hindered from choosing my own course. I often ask my mother what course I should take, she just tells me whatever course I am happy with. With those simple words, she is giving me the freedom to be someone I want to be. Freedom ...
