a PRODIGAL cousin of mine

Tweet

i was totally freaked out with my cousin because her name is like a synonym for "prodigal daughter". She went to a university to study college. Her parents send her money for her allowance, tuition, and rent for her apartment. Later on i learned from another cousin of mine, who's living with her, that she didn't enroll and that she was just wasting her money in treating her friends with liquors, cigarettes, and she could also be using drugs! who knows? she spent her tuition in just days and she did not buy anything expensive. where could the money go? later on, my other cousins new about the truth and we were so disturbed! we were very hesitant to tell her parents yet eager to let the parents know because their money will just be wasted! but to our relief, i was contacted by her mother and she told me to verify the university on whether her daughter has enrolled and if she pays the tuition. maybe the mother heard rumors about her daughter and doubted. so, i did what she told me and to my surprise, she has a balance of 12700 pesos(Philippine money) or around US$300! i can't believe it! when her parents knew, they send her back to their hometown and there she is; undergraduate, jobless,a burden to her family, and a parasite to the society. what a shame! however, i still pray that she would someday change for good. how about you? do you share the same problem too?
