I have decided to sponsor a child. I have been thinking about it for a while now. Seems like a big commitment, really. If I were to start, I would like it to be a commitment on my part in order that the particular child I sponsor will be provided adequately with the best opportunity for education until he can fend for himself, which is normally 18 years old.
Why I said HE? Well, it is because I have enquired to be a sponsor and have been allocated a boy, from Cambodia. He will turn 11 years old this year, and his birthday is 3 days after mine. I don't really mind if it is a girl or a boy that I sponsor, really.
I know that sponsoring a child is hardly like having one. But it scares me! It got me thinking that having a child requires such BIG responsibilities! Can you imagine how it feels like to have the life of a little one that depends on you? Scary!!! Big responsibilities!! You will worry daily about everything of the child!! All the worries will probably drive me mad!! I always thought that I will make a good mother, due to the fact that I always have the 'chemistry' with little kids and I love to play with them so much! But playing with one can hardly be compared with raising one! I think I hardly qualify as a mum!
Ok, ok, so I have let my imagination run wild again! But still, it sort of give me an idea as to what being a mother is like! Really scary..and I am probably not ready for it, YET. Will I ever be ready? I don't know.
Well, anyway, sponsoring a child is different. Right? Right?? Right??? Yes..
