I came across the image (see below) below in Facebook and just totally resonated with it. I remember how my dad had to work shifts just to put food on the table. I will consider ourselves a low-income family back then. We (siblings and I) could not have any "luxury items" our classmates were having. Those times, it was just merely a cool pencil box or the latest cartoon bag pack or even the latest mechanical pencil from Pilot. At that time, I felt my dad was so calculative. Counting every cent; counting every expense.
We did not have the best food on the table. I remember being so afraid of eating canned sardine. We just had it too frequently. I also remember not being able to afford a McDonald meal / burger after class in secondary school. My peers could easily just buy a meal. At that very young age, I told myself I had to earn the money. Money could bring me certain comfort and happiness.
Earning money was not easy at all
I did not really understand how difficult it was to earn money until I got my first job in a fast food chain at 14 years old. I begin to understand how tough it was for my dad to support the whole family; forgoing things for himself. Always trying to get the essential stuffs for us and at the same time also supporting his aging parents (till today).
Thank you, Daddy
My dad struggled to earn the money but he still managed to put all of us through University. "In your own ways, you taught me the value of money. You got me the best thing and that was education."
