Being the Special One Who Matters

"You could still want something that is very unlikely to happen." 

- Christopher John Francis Boone (a special child gifted with a great logical brain)

"I just want to do something that matters. Or be something that matters. I just want to matter." 

- Colin Singleton (a prodigy who has been in love with same name for 19 times)

Two different authors and totally different plots, but both with special characters who just want to mean to the world. But don't we all want to matter? 

In our own little ways, we can be SOMEONE. 

I'm lucky enough to be part of a company who unite for generosity, compassion, and goodwill. Every year, as part of Mediacom's tradition, we celebrate our Christmas/Thanksgiving party at Cottolengo Filipino --- a home for abandoned children with disabilities and also a haven for other kids with special needs. Genuine happiness is seeing them wave hello, smile, dance, laugh, and say thank you <3 

My buddy John :)

priceless :)

Thanks to you :D

We do not have to be Mr./Ms. Genius or Mr./Ms. Popular to be relevant. We just got to have the heart, and the sincerity of reaching out to our brothers and sisters.
