My dad used to support the entire family with his income, including our school fees. However, after he got heart disease, most of our money has gone to treat his illness. The saddest part is that despite spending a lot of money on treatments, his situation is worsening day. Instead of thinking of our father's illness, we need to pick it up and move on. Education is the only way to lift my family out of poverty. My older sister and I decided to study hard, to achieve our dreams. However, my brother has accumulated a large amount of debt for the family. Even the savings are used to pay off the debt. My grandmother and my mom had cries countless times because of this problem, and they go to relatives to borrow more money. To this day, no one knows how much my brother owes, as he won't tell anyone.

After this incident, my grandmother and my mom work tirelessly. My grandma is already 70 and has to work in the field every day. I bet other elderly's grandson would let her enjoy her retirement! Our house has understandably deteriorated greatly. Now that I think of it, as long as my brother does not get into any additional trouble and listens to mom and grandma, everything will be fine. All I want now for my family is a normal life without tragic periods.
Now, my mom supports my sister's and my tuition and living costs while my grandmother's income solely goes to paying off my brother's debt. I have realized now that love really is more important than anything else, only my love is not complete.

Iam greatly influenced by my teachers, especally their behavior. It makes me admire them and motivates me to work hard to become a secondary teacher. The way they speak to us and other people in a gental and humble way is something i aspire to emulate when i grow up. A person can not prosper if they dont pass through the guidence of teachers.

Thank you for reading my story.
