Life

We had a lot of sacrifices in our lives before and we've been through a lot of heartache. My parents suffered a lot financially. Me and my brother went to college at the same time so my parents were struggling hard also just to sustained our needs in school. We studied hard to proved to our parents that we really appreciated their hard works. A year after my graduation I got married and left Philippines to be with my husband but even though, being married is not a hindrances to continue helping my parents perhaps by the help of my husband also, we helped our brother to achieved his dream, he was really dreaming to work abroad and he is now working in a ship route Europe as an electrician. Now, both of us helping our parents for our other siblings to finished college and by God's grace our other sister finished her college as an English teacher. We still have siblings who are in college right now and hopefully they will continue doing good in their studies. I know our parents are very proud of us. Our parents now are not worrying so much anymore about what to eat everyday because my brother give them $500 every month for their everyday needs and before it was so hard to buy even sardines or egg because we didn't have money for it. We experienced going to school without breakfast and stayed in school during lunch time because we can't pay for the tricycle. Our relatives before who were rich are now the one who are struggling and we, who suffered before are now have enough to provide our needs. I am just so proud of my brother because he is a very good brother to us, a good son and a good individual. He is so concerned about our parents and now he bought them a lands and planning to build apartments for them to have extra income. We are very lucky to have a parents like them, they sacrificed everything for us to have a better life in the future. It is good to experienced hardship in life first because you can handle all the challenges in the future. Our past experiences makes us strong everyday and now we are facing the future and hopefully our kids also will grow as a well- mannered individual and with good health.
