Education is a lifetime process of learning. It is one way of feeding the mind with information that could transform one's life into success and overcome failures. Through educating oneself, it is only the main important thing that one finds security of his future.
I was impressed by my friend named Janice who works hard in order to go to school. She told me that they are many of them in the family, about 13 of them and she is the 4th from the eldest. Her parents could not sustain them in sending to school because her parents don't have better jobs that could help finance their expenses in school. Her mother is just a housewife and her father is just a carpenter. Her father just only have a work when there is someone who wants to ask him to repair something and that is the only way he could have money.
She further told me that her elder brothers (2) and her eldest sister already got married at an early age. Her brothers were 18 and 19 and her sister is just 16 years old when they get married. Her father let give them the consent to settle at an early age, because he and his wife couldn't afford to send them to school. But this is not Janice wanted her life to be. She is jealous seeing her other friends (their neighbors) going to school everyday. That is why, she decided to go to school and work as a working student in the campus. I find her sweeping the school ground, assisting in the Library, granting teacher's run-errands and cleaning the comfort room during her free time.
I am really impressed with what spirit and determination she has just to be in school to learn and get a better education for her future. Poverty is not a hindrance for her to quit learning. Now, I often see her working in the Principal's office during her vacant time.
Janice is a person with dreams and ambition. She is really working very hard just to be in school and to fulfill her dreams in the future.
She is a good example of a student who always find ways and will never surrender striving very hard for the fulfillment of her dreams.
