My mother immigrated here, to Canada, when I was only 6. At a young age, I understood why my mother left; she needed to work for me. Being middle class wasn't enough to succeed in the Philippines, and for that she flew to Canada. My mother became the pedestal of my dad and i's life.
After 4 years of waiting, my dad and I can finally move to Canada. My parents have 2-3 jobs from the beginning till now. This is what my parents do everyday to keep a roof above our heads. They never really finished college since the tuition is like buying a Ferari. No parents wants their children to struggle in the future, that is why my parents want me to work and study hard. They always tell me that if I want something, I need to work hard for it. My parents do not want me to repeat what they did and have to work 2 jobs. I know I am not the smartest person and this worries me and often leave me wondering, "where would I be in 5-10 years later?"
Honestly, no one know what tomorrow or 10 years from now would be like. I, for one, would love to travel the countries I dream to visit. My goal is to finish university and have a stable job. Even though birth scares me, I would like to have 2 children maximum and a relationship like my parents. I will always be appreciative of my mother for shaping the way I am now and in the future.
