~The real thing I want to say~



I do remember when I was a child, my family was so poor and my parents couldn’t be able to send me go to school. 2 years later, they were able to send me to school like the other children and my parents encourage me to study so hard to avoid of being uneducated. Even I could go to school but most teachers liked to commute with the rich students and they never cared me that I could come up with the lesson or not. Luckily, when I got in grade 9 I met one teacher, he was so good and kind to me and he always helped & encouraged me to study until I became an out-standing student in school. He’s my second parent who always encourages me to become a good child.



In High School life, it seemed not so good like I was in Secondary School because I had no friends. Maybe they minded to make friend with a poor person like me but I never cared about them and I just tried to study hard. Unfortunately, I couldn’t study English as my parents didn’t have enough money to pay for the private school for me so I could be able to study English only 2 hours a week and most time teacher was absent. Anyways, I tried to read and write English by myself at home and I did promise to myself in that time that I must try to learn so hard until I become a Teacher when I grow up and help the poor children & women in my country to get higher education. Though, my English is not good yet so I have to learn much more to improve myself.



As my family is poor so everyone in my house is illiterate. My father is a worker and mother is having an illness and others family members run a small business. Only me who can get higher education among of my family and they always encourage me to study for my future more and I’m so happy that my life is being changed. Even my English is still an obstacle for my work nowadays but i have tried so much to improve it. My father has never stopped me to study even he earns money so difficult alone, he only says one sentence “Try to study hard daughter, it’s a real wealth that you need to find and none can steal it from you.” I promise him I will try to study so hard even we are poor and have no money to pay for teacher. Everything is corrupt!



Since I joined PulseWire, I found that my English has been improved. I can learn new things, new ideas; especially, all journals here are so useful for me to learn. I really thanks to PulseWire and other women & men here in this community that you all have changed my life. I’m not so confident to apply for a global correspondent but it’s what that I really interest so I just follow my heart and try to learn new things from The Voices of Our Future from Empowerment People worldwide and I hope in one day, I will become a part of global correspondent.
