this is my story from my first year at college. I get a free college scholarship and money every month from the government. But the money was disbursed at the end of the semester. unfortunately when I started college my parents had money difficulties, as a result they only gave me money for about 15 dollars. so I tried to downsize. the way is that every time I return home, I bring a bag of rice and some food to eat. Now I use the 15 dollars when my food run out. I try to use money sparingly, I only spend 0.8 dollars to 1 dollar for one day. what did i bought? I bought omelette and "fried potatoes". I divided the food into 3 parts for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And when I get money from scholarship, I can eat fried chicken and fried fish. After I started working in town. Every i get salary, I usually bought food that I had never eaten in college

Even with your hardships you still found a way to get past it. Nothing comes easy but if you work hard for what you want i’m pretty sure you’ll do well.

Your sacrifice didn't go in vain. Now you are earning on your own so you can eat better food now.

not too easy. After graduating from college, I worked as a tutor for a few months in Padang and several months in an institution in Bekasi until July. then at the end of August 2017 I got a permanent job as a teacher in a school in Bekasi. I worked there until now.
