I am still very young when I find things to be very complicated.You could just imagine ,that when my father go out to report for his work,I kept my eye on him,and ask so many questions why,what,when,and how he works.That is where I got an idea that life is really very complicated,that you should strive to work for your survival,not just for yourself ,but also for the family.When I was already a teenager,I was trained to take good care of a variety of personal accessories for sale in a small store,which is manageable to my age.I have learn the hard ways how to earn a living.I wish you can also share your experiences on living.

I think I experienced it when I was 17. I went away for college, I had to live on my own and take care of myself. It came to a point where my parents couldn't support me anymore financially so I had to take a job to pay for the rent, my studies, food, and other necessary things. I envied my friends who had the money and the time to enjoy college life. I was once like that too. That's when I knew life can be complicated.

Thank you very much for your response.You are right to your opinion,that you have to find your own destiny,by going to work to feed yourself and save money for your existence,studies,and expenses.Here in the Philippines,you do not have to worry about your studies because your parents are the ones,who shoulder all the expenses for your studies,but you should let them know that you are serious with your studies,or else they will stop you to proceed your goals in life.

You are true to your words that college life is very complicated,because you have to work to proceed your studies,so as to feed yourself,which is very different here in the Philippines.Once you are determined that you proceeding your carrier very well,then the parents,will be the ones who shoulder all the expenses incured during the studies,with all the requirements needed are given out by the parents,so are all his books and uniforms with allowances.
