THE ONLY WAY
Sunday, December 28th, 2008I was raised in a remote area.Our family is living in a simple and and mountainous area.When i was in elementary i used to go to school barefooted because my parents could not afford to buy a new pair of shoes for us.Both of my parents used to worked in a farm and their earnings is just enough to buy for our food.Me and my siblings go to school without allowances.Although it was really a hard time for us lacking for financial needs it did not stop us from dreaming that someday we can be one of the professionals in our town.We value education even at a very young age.We believe that good education is the only way for us to have a good life someday.
I am telling this story to everyone who wants to better their life and think they cannot because of problems and situations around them.Just focus on your dream. I knew it was going to be hard, but I said to myself, If others can be able to finish despite of the hardship in life why cant I? It was a sacrifice, but I won. It was hard because I had to work and go to school at the same time. But now I can look back and say I made it through, and I tell people, the same way that brought me through what i am now.
I thought I couldn’t do it but I managed to be successful. Now I look at myself differently I succeed.
