Your Dream Could'nt just Stop by One Obstacle.

July 11,2022

It's Monday again peeps , let's start it with a big sweet smile , positive thoughts , a little bit of stretching and exercise and let's get it on with our new week. Cheer up ! dance or sing your stress out. Shout if you want and psyche ourselves to a productive and better whole week.

Anyway , How's your weekend? Us by the way attended my nephews 7th birthday yesterday and it's really fun having free delicious meals as always ,right? lol! It's already 3:00 in the afternoon and once again a gloomy day. Glad though that my mood is the opposite. Still on the positive vibe . Though tired coz of some stuff but still in the mood to write.

===============================

In my article "State University , A Privilege for the poor, or for The Privileged?" https://read.cash/@grey23espartinas/state-university-a-privilege-for-the-poor-or-for-the-privileged-b0c24968

I've mentioned that my niece unfortunately was not included in the " List of Qualifiers" of the State University in our place even if she graduated " With High Honors" and have a general average of 96. We tried seeking for help but to no avail. She wants to take up Civil Engineering course but all the Colleges and Universities we inquired about such course is either too far and private schools with high tuition fees.

We stop ranting and stop asking our why's about the State Universities process of accepting students coz no one was answering our why's anyway. We have to do something for my niece to study and chase her dream. We can't stop her from putting her dream into reality though. Her dream could'nt just STOP by one obstacle.

Private Colleges and Universities are the only one who are still open for admissions. So my Sister which is the mom of my niece don't have a choice but to accept the fact that they are going to send my niece to a private school for college. My niece went to a private one during her Jr and Sr Highschools but still tuition fees in Colleges is far way different from highschool. Besides the Catholic School she attended was just a ride away from our place , convenient and safe . But now , it's totally different.

After almost a month of looking for a school to enroll , weighing the pros and cons , comparing tuition fees costs and the accessibility of the school. Finally , they found one . The school who has the lowest tuition fees among others they inquired at. But geez, the school is four ride away from our place. And the transportation costs was a stunning 300 pesos or 6$ back and forth. How sad when you don't have any other choice and limited funds.

Since face to face classes according to DepEd ( Department of Education) will start in full bloom this school year then my niece should atleast have 500php or 10$ everyday as for her daily allowance for meal and transportation. 5 days a week and it'll cost her 2500php or 50$ . Huhu! 10,000php (200$) just for transpo and meal allowance for a month.How about the materials needed for Civil Engineering course and other miscellaneous expenses? Goodness! why is it too expensive to reach your dreams.

After all the deliberation and planning what to do next.. Me and my sisters. We are three siblings anyway. Decided to help through our best way we can. We want to help our niece to reach her dream of becoming a Civil Engineer someday.

Our youngest sister decided to help with her tuition fees that will be paid by installment to atleast east the burden. I hand her an amount to help her with the initial expenses for enrollment and other stuff.

We are considering to look for a dormitory for her but not on her first sem. On her 2nd semester probably wherein she'll get familiar in the vicinity after one sem.

For the meantime , we are preparing her for her next journey. A wider world for her . A real world that is new to her . Are we apprehensive? Yes of course... but her DREAMS could'nt JUST STOP by ONE , two or even more OBSTACLE. So we are going to support her all the way. Fight!

That's all for now fighters , it's raining already. Come and let's have a cup of coffee.

Thanks for the read.
