All of my aunts and uncles the brothers and sisters of my dad are all successful and living well in abroad. I can say they have the best life out there they deserved it they worked hard for it. Here comes my dad and my mom and our other relatives. They have this perspective that my aunts and uncles are not helping us knowing that my parents are unemployed. They always say they are selfish. But, for me I don't think so. They have this indescribable determination to achieve something out from their efforts to worked hard blood and sweat. Those are just the fruits of their labor. I blamed my parents of our situation right now. Me and my siblings are very eager to go to school though they can't afford. Luckily we have our aunts and uncles who just volunteered to finance in our needs monthly allowance and a priest who happens to be my dad's cousin who offered us to take an exam for scholarship in their university . We may be unfortunate that we are indeed financially very unstable but not to brag we are intellectual. I had finished my Bachelor of Science in Nursing,and now a registered nurse. Still searching for a job. My brother had recently graduated in Nursing too, and was one of the Dean's Lister for 2 consecutive years and now he is reviewing for his up coming License board exam. We've been so very thankful to those people whose been a part of our success right now. I know it's not their obligation at all but I had promised to my self that I would never forget it and to looked back always in them.

Wow how nice Christine that you have family members willingly helping. You are so right that when it comes to situations like this family should come together and help especially when there is a need.
Then later when we get on our two feet we never forget those who helped. It is what family, in my opinion should do.
How blessed you all are and I wish all of you continual blessings.

Wow Christine, at least you and your sibling are lucky to have relatives who are willing to help cause maybe they know you are responsible children and that whatever they would give won't be thrown away for nothing. Don't blame your parent, though it's not good to hear them complaining about your relatives, try to understand them cause you know well our culture here, we are obligated to at least share our blessing specially if we are already financially able.
Now don't give up on searching for jobs although I admit that you have chosen a profession that is quite unemployable cause of over supply of graduates in this field. While you are still searching for a job I recommend that you also may want to explore the possibilities in other areas like IT. Anyway you have already an internet
so you could learn some IT skill that are available online and are in demand in jobs like maybe web design and web programming. These are thing that you could learn for free just try.
