Of course it’s my mom ! Even
though she’s my single parent; my father was passed away when I was 9 years old;
but she could raise me and my sister well. How could a single mother, work as a
high school teacher, foster two children, one becomes nurse, one becomes
doctor, furthermore if the second one from a private university ? she had a
fascinating money calculation.
I remembered when I was a child,
I couldn’t eat fried chicken, it’s expensive food for us at that time. When all my friends had mobile phone, there’s
me who couldn’t afford that one. When our neighbor busy upgrading their house,
there were us who’s stand still the same building with required renovation. Sometimes
I felt ‘were us that pathetic ?’
Years later, I realized the
importance of financial, even I still bad at it, but at least my mind has been
opened a little. Everything I want doesn’t always mean that’s what I need. There’s
priority for everything since we can’t afford all and my mother’s priority was
clear : education.
As a teacher, she always said
about education and its importance. She wanted to give us provision of life and
education could lead as a compass, especially for a job. She embedded that
woman should stand on her feet. She told me, one day, she said that when I was
a toddler, my mother had a hard time to take care of two children, although she
had two babysitters at time; one for me and other for my sister. She felt
uncomfortable to give trust to our babysitters. Then the idea came up crossed
her mind to quit from her job, but after she thought it deeply, the idea ended
as an idea; she never quit as a high school teacher. Fortunately, that’s the
best move because years later, my father was passed away :’if she quit from her
job, then who will pay for our basic needs ? it’s scary to think though…
She’s very inspiring, strong,
have a good calculation, full of love, and loyal.. I knew that many men tried
to catch her up, but she always ignores them. I didn’t how but when God created
her, He must be in a very good mood to make a perfect women.
a screenshot of me and my mother had a video call two days ago :)
I hope I could take the good
sides of her and throw away the bad ones. Maybe that’s one of many reasons I want
to go out from my hometown. I want to be both strong and independent women as
if I have a child, I can raise him/her well. I don’t know is it good idea or
not, let God lead…
As my 27th writing, I have
been writing for three days. LOL. I try to make a financial note and it kinda
works.. I tried to more thrifty ^^ I hope I can constantly doing this and grow
up better.
