my cousins and I went to Numancia (a town here in Aklan) to attend an Inter-Youth Fellowship. The Fellowship ended early so we decided to pass by the bridge and walk in the streets on the way to Kalibo Pastrana Park. There we bought street foods from a teen vendor (male). It was already passed 9PM so one of my cousins asked the boy how old is he and he answered fifteen so another cousin of mine threw another question to the boy, "why are you working, aren't you schooling?" the boy replied, "tumigil ako kasi walang pera eh" (i stopped because we lack money)... After that short conversation that I heard, I was reminded AGAIN that fortunately I am blessed and I should not be discouraged whenever I think of my personal problems... I felt sorry for myself because I've been too fool. Fool because I thought I was in the MOST hopeless case. I've been too self-pity for minding about my situation alone not thinking about others. So for now I am looking forward not to waste the blessings and opportunities given to me .......................................... to that boy vendor, having the knowledge about selling street foods, for me is not enough so I pray that he will return to school and pursue his study because I believe and testify that education is very important.
