The meaningful event that affected my life was when I decided to work overseas and sacrifice college. I was seventeen years old when I made that decision. My father had a decent job at a company, he was the head Chef. He makes decent money at that time and we are pretty much doing well financially.

My father saved money for our future, he wanted us to go to school because he always says that education is the only treasure he can give for us.

I don’t know anybody, it was new people, environment, and language. I had nights that I cried because I missed my family but I stayed strong because I did it for them.

Honestly, it will make the situation worst because instead of my dad debts was only for my mom’s medication it will be tripled. I am not the only child, I will see my siblings starve more because of me. Although I will have a part time job, it is not going to be enough because I have needs for school too. Instead of me helping the family, I am also going to be my dad’s extra baggage to carry. It is nice because I can go to college but my mom needed medical attention first. I rather sacrifice my education and save my mom’s life. It was really hard to decide at that moment but it really made me think
