I lose Focus In September!

September and July seem the same to me, the only month that I seen good progress in my journey here was August. With the online class started I got busy and seldom visit the site, I feel bad about it. But as a college student, I find it very exhausted sometimes with our activities that visiting here was limited anymore.

Within this month I only write few articles, I still read other articles from time to time just taking it easy but I am trying my best. September has been distractive to me since I was still adjusting to our setup.

I lose focus because I prioritize my studies

Studies should be prioritized in everything for me because my parents are doing their best to provide for our needs and providing my educational needs.

I always remember what my mom said,

“Prioritize your studies, don't focus on other stuff focus on your academics. It will help you build your future if you have a good educational background. Also, put in mind that not all are privileged to finish their studies because of financial matters and lack of moral support.”

My mom's lecturing was from her experience, she always told me that I was fortunate enough that my needs and educational needs are being provided unlike her. She came from a broken family causing her lack of moral support in pursuing her dreams.

My mom is kinda brainy too but she was unfortunate to finish her studies, she was an undergraduate because she cannot provide the financial needs of her studies anymore. She was a scholar before but nobody give her allowance for food and lodging, so she ended up finding works to feed herself instead of pursuing her studies. Her mother also needs financial help with her little siblings way back.

I always do my best to remember my mom's lecturing, because if I was on her side it must've been hard living wanting to pursue your dreams but you can't because of lacking moral support and financial needs.

She also said that completing education cannot guarantee that you'll have a brighter future right away, it will all depend on our perseverance and skills how we create our future but it is one of the solid foundations and a stepping stone in making our future brighter.

She also said if you have flying colours achievements in academics but you lack skills and perseverance in reality you will still end up with the list of unemployed graduates.

Endnotes:

I always respect my mom's wisdom even if she didn't finish a degree, if there is a degree in life experiences I bet my mom would be a PhD already.

She's more skilled than my dad when it comes to finding money, extra income and side gigs when my dad doesn't have a job before. She's well trained in battling reality and does not rely on anyone as she was independent already when she was still young at the age of 16 years old.

That made her unique, even her batch mates in college before do not belittle her because they know her capabilities when they were still students, she was one of the deans lister way back.

I even asked her why won't she pursue studying to have her degree and she said,

“I think my time is already up in studying although studying doesn't require age, I find it too late. I am already satisfied with what I have, I can find money and I can be a full-time mother and wife and that's all that matters to me. I don't need to be a career woman anymore, just pursue your dreams and that would be my success as well.”

She chose to be a full-time mom and wife instead of chasing a career.

I actually help mom with her little business as well that is why I cannot write every day.

I don't know why my title losing focus and I end up writing like this, haha sorry. I was carried away by my mother's lecturing lol.

Until next time, thank you for reading.
