Life is Great

I have a niece back home and she is 3 years old. Her parents were discussing about sending her to school. But, private schools are expensive for parents with minimum wage earnings. Probably they will wait for nursery. I talked to my mother last night that is why I know about it. Education is really important and I am happy that my cousins are considering the thought of early schooling for their daughter.My mother is a single parent working in one of the movie theaters in our city. As far as I remember, I grew up playing in the facade of the movie theater like the picture above. Since it was located along the busy streets, I would sit in one corner or at the bottom of the stairs with a book on my lap and just copy the plate number of the passing motor vehicles. That's how I learn Math LOL. I learn to count money when I helped my mother in the canteen of the movie theater. You know how busy it is when people buys snacks after every movie right? Well, during those years, the movie has a double.

Anyway, it's nice to remember the memories of our younger days. I enrolled for first grade skipping the nursery and kindergarten. I had no problem with writing and reading. I am an average student. Between my brother and I, he is the intelligent. He always got medals. My mother and I were laughing the whole time when we recall those days. She remember that I love wearing shorts and T-shirts, that I cry all the time when I have my haircut, and that I hated wearing dress. Our life is hard and we struggled to meet ends meet but, my mother managed to send us to school. In fact, to a university. Both my brother and I were able to finish college and we have a degree from a prestigious school in the country! Life is great because God is good to us and we rely on Him the whole time.
