It’s not even 7:30 am, the house is quiet its back to school day!
I check the phone making sure it’s not off the hook just in case the school call…you never know, being the first day of school.
I remembered in my elementary year few days before school started – I was crying because I didn’t finished my Chinese homework.
It was my big brother who helped me out. He was the one who tied my hair and got me out of the house…
I only have twelve years of school.
My brother Tai and sister Ruby were in college when I finished high school.
My two younger brothers were in middle/high school. Mom was the sole breadwinner.
I decided not to go to college.
I left home before I was 19 and I have no dream and no direction. I wanted to work so to ease mom’s burden.
My high school buddies, seven of them all went to college and are exceptional in their respective fields.
We still get together whenever I make a trip home.
All of them are proud parents now. (Somehow your high school friends stick with you for life.)
So whatever happened to me?
I did not go to college I have no paper qualification to show. I don’t even have good long working experience either.
Would my life turned out differently if I had chosen another path?
I can not imagine other wise and shudder to think what would become of me!
God never shortchange us.
In the world I have no credential whatsoever.
I only love people and God thinks that’s good enough for him.
