Family and family and family.........

When I was a little girl , I envy that I got married one day and have a happy family. I dreamed that I am having a few kids and live happily ever after.Then I go to secondary school . Life was tough. There was little money. My dream then was to study hard and earn a living by myself. I dream of going to university and become someone useful. Life was not as what I think. We are very poor. We were penniless.Going to school was not a luxury. It was a fighting experience. Every time when the new term starts, it was our big challenge. We have to beg , and beg from our parents to let us go for another term. Then another term starts and ends, the story goes on till we were in form 5. Then the story ends there, because we have to find our own living. Than come nursing. It was my 1st job applied and I got it. If not ,I don't know who I am today. I start training on 3/5/1972 in School of Nursing in Kuching. The training was 3 years 4 months( I don't know why 4 months extra) I think we follow England program last time. Life was tough that time. We were always scolded by our seniors , bullied by them and quietly cried in the corner and start work again. We never dare to grumble or say a word of unhappiness. We are in the world of scare. Scared of people expelled us, scared of no job, scared of parents scold us......many scares. That was our life.

Nowadays it is very different. Go to school as they preferences. Come out from school, don't want to work. Some still want to study, thinking their parents can feed them for ever and ever. When they earn money, they know how to keep for them self. They forget how their parents strungle so hard to survive them. Some of the parents , more pitiful. I heard my friends tell me, one thread of mee also didn't see. Why are life like that nowadays? we don't know.Is it a ill ed society's? Only GOD know. I don't mean all kids are like that, some are very good also. But the percentage is few. When I do counseling, I always have to tell my staff , have to remember to send money home for your parents.Gtg
