Born from poor family, I encountered/experienced lot of hardships in life. When I was in grade school I used to sell handmade or DIY bookmarks that created by my brother (since he knows how to draw such as cutie cartoon character), and Im glad that most of my classmates support it. That's the time I made up my mind that I want to finish my school in order to change my life. When Im about to finish my secondary school, I felt that I need to choose wether to continue my studies or not. Although my parents did their very best to provide all the things that we needed to survive, I know within myself that they are already having a hard time. After high school graduation I already decided to stop, but theres an oppurtunity came for me to study in one of the well known state university in the country and I grab that opportunity despite of the course that I need to take since thats the majority of what they are offering. After 2 years I felt that I need to do something in order for me to pursue what I really wanted. And that's the time I decided to work and stop my studies due to financial crisis that my family faced. My first job was in a small grocery in town where I only earned 50/day where my perseverance was tested. After almost a year working to that small grocery store I decided to continue my studies but this time I took up the course that I wanted. While studying that time I see an opportunity to earn on my free schedule, that's the time I decided to be a working student. I worked in one of the Best QSR or fast food chain restaurant in the country. Despite of the hardship of integrating my work and my studies, I made it. Well although not same as the other student with regular class who finished their studies for just 4 years, mine was took 5 years.
All of us have trials in life that we need to face. But it always up to us on how we will handle those things. At the end of the day... its always OUR CHOICE.... it's YOUR CHOICE.... so always think before choosing your choice 🙂
Sometimes it's a bit funny when people said they have no choice but infact they have a choice. You choose to stop your study because of financial problem then you said you have no choice. But in reality we have all freewill and we have choice. And you're right. Let's choose our choice.
