I'm Proud

I used to hear my mother said this when I was small: You have to study hard in order to get a good job, and earn a lot of money. Then only people will not look down on you. Like mommy, don't have a high education and now let your aunty and your ah ma look down on me.

At that age, I do not really understand what she said. Till I grown up and think back those days, then only I know what mom tried to tell me. The hidden meaning of her advice.

As for today, I'm not an extraordinary person. I'm just a normal person which got a degree cert, which is the minimum entry level for all job vacancies. I'm just a normal person which have a stable job, and used to keep myself at low profile.

Though, my parents are proud of me. Sometimes, I do not know what to be proud of. But one thing I am very sure is that, I have to keep working whenever I am capable. I do not want to ask money from people and I am very proud of myself because I am able to use my own money to get whatever things I like without begging from people! Even when others said that I used to waste money buying this and that, I will tell them: I earn my OWN money, I spend my OWN money!
