Hi everyone,
Based on my previous discussion "I'm Such a Loser" I've told my responders that I've come up with a decision, if I'll go on with my studies or not.
Someone told me there I should try to talk to both of my parents. I did! I really don't know where did I get the courage to talk to them.
I told them I will just stop my studies AGAIN since we have big big problems. Yes, they know what our "problems" are! Its more on financial actually!
My Dad first objected. He said I've started it and I should finish it whatever happens. Then I answered that I want to help solving our problems but then my Mom answered and said;
"You should continue it! Whatever happen, you should! Even if I need to borrow money and surrounded by debt as long as you finished your studies. You're the eldest, you need to be the role model of your brothers and sisters!"
After what my mom have said, I didn't realize I'm already crying. She's right. Really right.. That's then I've decided I will continue it.. with God's guidance!
I'm very happy to know that there are people who really don't know me personally but willing to give their advices!! Thank you so much everyone!
Tomorrow; Monday.. We will start to wear our official uniform! Don't know how would I look like, but I'm kinda excited!!!
Thanks again everyone and may the Lord God bless you!

my lady,
I am also a mother and a parent.
I am also a daughter and the eldest.
I remember when I also give way for my siblings to pursue their studies and stopped my studies,but I never regretted about it.
As parent and a mother,I know that education is the best inheritance we can ever provide to our kids.
I know you know about this my lady.
Every parents always say this..."money and wealth can be robbed from you,but not education"
So,I wish you've really made up your mind and be firm with it.
As an eldest I know you want to help your parents,but you can help them more after you've finished your studies and have a good work.
Not to mention that the moment you've finished your studies and handed them your diploma is enough help and honor for your parents.
Study hard,focus with it and soon as you realized..you've already reached your dreams.
Keep smiling always

thanks a lot my lady
I also don't know why you have a soft spot in my heart.
Just reading the first topic that I've seen and read about depression.
I felt,you are too young to experienced such trauma...and I want to hug you and make you feel I fully understand about it.
From that moment,I come to understand you more...you such an honest young lady.
It's not easy to confess everything in public like what you are doing here in mylot with your photo.
I can see myself in you...that's one thing I am sure of...your honesty and being brave (thu i can still feel the child within you)

Honestly, I've forgot about that sickness I have before. I think it is not worth remembering, isn't it?

God bless you my lady!

Thank GOD. I have been thinking of you always lately since the time you've made your last discussion. I think it is because of my deep concern regarding your situation. That is a good decision edsss. Your parents did the right thing and that is to let you finish your studies and be a role model for your brothers and sisters.
Never give up on what you've started edsss. You're on your way now to reaching your goals in life. Always remember that GOD will always provide, just like what you've written in your profile. That is a powerful quote and I always believe on that.
I have read in Mathew chapter 6 verse 26 to 34 that our heavenly Father feeds the birds of the air, what more us people who are his children. You can try reading that verse edsss, it is really a very good verse.
I can't explain how happy I am right now to know that you've made the right decision to continue your studies but one thing that I really admired you most is that you are willing to sacrifice your studies for the sake of helping your parents in solving their problems. My heart really goes out to you. You're such a loving daughter. Your parents are really blessed to have you. They are really very lucky to have you.
You deserve something for your kindness and loving heart edsss. I really admire you for your selfless love you have showed to your family.
I will always pray for you and your family. GOD has a better plan for you and he will never leave you during your trying moments in life. Trials and challenges are not the reason for us to give up but to learn and move on with a great faith that GOD will always provide, guide, and help us no matter what.
Take care always edsss. I have been waiting for this discussion and GOD answered my prayers about your decision. You're such a loving person.
