Hi guys. I was quite for a while because I ran out of ideas again. I must say that I'm deeply amazed of how you guys create contents from time to time and never miss a day of publishing one.

I finally have something to share and this is based on a true to a life situation.

Claire is someone I used to know since childhood because we share the same neighborhood. Her mom is also a teacher so we kind of have known each other since then. She's an only child so she gets the full attention of her parents all the time.

However, her parents were unaware of how Claire behaved at school. She didn't go to school as scheduled, she used her tuition fee to put up a small business but unfortunately did not succeeded. So, she has to stop going to school as a consequence of what she did.

After a year, her mom gave her another chance to pursue her course as she's in her 4th year already and is up for an internship.

Unfortunately, warnings don't change one's behavior right away. Not unless they experience worse cases than they've been. Devil-may-care, she did the same thing. Not going to school, and recklessly spends money on useless pieces of stuff.

Her mother was in emotional distress when she found out what Claire did. She's not getting any younger and she's supposed to retire this year. So, she has to extend her service in teaching to sustain the needs of the family. Can you imagine how difficult it is to go through all of this?

Things got worse when Claire's father was diagnosed with diabetes so he needs to undergo dialysis on schedules. That's how the family is going through right now.

Question:

If Claire took responsibility of her wrongdoings, would things turn out differently?

A stitch in time saves nine. This certainly means to solve the problem before it gets worse.

Claire has given so much suffering to the family. She made things worse and it's now getting out of hand. She was warned but she neglected her chance and took it for granted.

Clair had poor decision making in there but I really do hope that she will own up her mistakes and make it up for the better.

It is my first time to know about that amazing phrase. Before something gets big (ultimately create trouble) we have to stitch it up in order to minimize the damage. I believe that we all have our shortcomings like Claire but it is also our responsibility to hold up to it so the people around us won't get hurt, in this story, she didn't learn from her mistakes. She just kept and kept going until the damage is already hard to fix. :< Just like a nice piece of clothing with a small but visible damage or tear to it, we have a hard time wearing it. So we can only fix it or let it be and slowly the damage will be permanently visible. It is our choice. Just like you said, A stitch in time saves nine so why not fix it instead? :>

Exactly my point. Claire had a poor decision making. In situations like that, our future relies based on the choices we make and so it is imperative to fix the issue and learn from it before the situation gets worse.

However, it's never too late to get back to your senses and make things right.

I really hope so. Well, her mom never gave up on her so I guess that's gonna be her ultimate reason to stand up and make amends of her mistakes.

Did she ever get to graduate and all? I've met a few people who actually spent their tuition money on concert tickets or on gadgets so i wouldn't be surprised

That's worse. As for now, she stopped schooling because of the situation. However, I saw that she's sorting things in order so she can help her mom by selling stuff online. Hoping for the best. It's not too late for redemption and change.

I know 😂😂😂 that's good. She needs to at least help out in a way that makes the load lighter for her mom. It would've been easier if she had already graduated

Yeah, it would have been. But it's no use of crying over spilled milk so she must work her ass off. 😅

A stitch in time saves nine. I heard it for the first time. Thank you for this term hehe

As for Claire, there's a filipino saying nasa huli talaga ang pagsisisi. We never noticed our wrong doing until it got worst and ruin our life but there's always room for change and I believed that Claire will gping to realized all her poor decisions and starts to be better for helself ad for her parents.

Sometimes people go on that kind of situation because we are stubborn and selfish. Not thinking the consequences of our actions and didnt care on the people around you.

True. Regrets always come last. The damage has been done but she can still make things right slowly so she can redeem herself somehow.
