When I was a little kid, I dreamt of becoming rich -- very very rich. It is not for me, I must tell you that. It is for my mother who deserves all the comfort in life. She has been an awesome mother to all of her children, a loving and dedicated wife to my father, a sincere public school teacher and an honest public servant. Because of this desire embedded deeply in me, I tried my very best to study hard. It even reached to the point where I had to forego some of the pleasures of growing up just so I would be well-educated. I believed that doing so would make me achieve my ultimate dream.
Time went by. I earned my bachelor's degree then my master's degree. I got employed as a College Dean. I opted to try to earn a doctorate degree in Philosophy. I was thinking I could one day become eligible for a directorship position in the government preferably in the Education department which I have developed too much passion due to the belief that giving the populace the right education is the key to self and the country's progress. This goal had grown the need for me to stay in the Philippines and never attempt to go abroad. This too made me realize that I am a simple person who never want to be very, very rich anymore. I only want a comfortable life. But call it the joke of nature, right now, I am here overseas.
