Poverty is usually one of the things standing in the way of a kid dying to got o school. Even though they say "being poor is not an excuse in education", admit it or not it still is a problem. Why else would we still have parents cringing over the K-12 program the government recently implemented. Money can't buy happiness, sure, but come to think of it maybe going to school, as simple as it maybe, makes a child happy.
And I am not a happy child right now.
As of now, my sophomore journalism student status is on the ICU. The NO-Money Disease or NMD has taken its toll on my life and now I'm in danger of stopping. My parents broke the news one rainy night, and upon hearing that I felt numb. It was really big deal since I thought I could chill for a week, get a foot spa or something and step-by-step get over my vacation hang-over. But the moment first day of classes began and I woke up knowing I wasn't with them, my classmates- the loneliness slowly crept in. Next thing I knew I'm imagining my future without a college diploma in it. Crrraaazzzy paranoia!
My dad kept lecturing me to be strong about it and not lose hope at the same time since there's still a week before end of enrollment. I totally took it like a man. I mean BITCH PLEASE ofcourse I didn't want to put anymore weight on my parents' shoulders who I figured must be going nuts inside-out trying to make ends meet or how to make me feel like I wasn't missing out on life. They said I could enroll for classes/ workshops that are of interest to me (e.g fashion design, baking or dance) if I were not able to enroll this sem. They said it would keep me busy for the time being. I was like hell yeah! I liked it. My bi-polar self is kicking again but atleast it saved me from all the hassle of moping around like an idiot. Being busy would other stuff and merging it with writing would still come in handy. I still get to do my writing plus may baon pa ko- love it.
I'm still waiting for the final judgement- crossed-fingers and hands up to God that everything will work up for the better.
