Hello everyone! I'm @eijnuj06, and I'm excited to share my latest blog post about my family's passion for prioritizing education as a stepping stone to achieving success. Join me as I share our story and the importance of valuing knowledge and learning.
Me and My Sister:
Our parents and grandparents always say, They have nothing to inherit but education. This is what they always say, especially from families that aren't rich. We come from a poor family, our Grandfather and Grandmother are street vendors, selling coffee on the streets next to the church.
Our grandparents were blessed with many children and All of them were nine.And there were many grandchildren and I'm one of them. Almost all of our parents did not finish their education, their jobs were construction workers and security guards and the rest were housewives.And because of that, we became aware of poverty, and even though it was difficult, they worked hard to get us a good education so that we wouldn't be like them.Because we wanted to repay every hardship they endured, we improved our studies until we finished college.
On my parents' side, there are only two of us. I graduated as a Customs Broker, and my sister graduated as an Education major in TLE. Almost of Our cousins are graduated, some becoming Engineers and Teachers.
Every time someone passes and graduates, Grandma will stick our graduation pictures on the wall. It's just nice to look at each photo that's stuck on the wall and see that our parents and grandparents are proud of what we've achieved.
Grandpa and Grandma have 40 plus grandchildren, and some of them have graduated. I can't imagine that when the day comes, it will be filled with photos of my cousins who will also graduate from their chosen courses.
I just want to convey a lesson that poverty is not an obstacle to graduating, as long as you study hard and always follow your parents' advice. Yes, they didn't graduate before, but because of their children's achievements, they feel like they have graduated too, not in school but in their responsibilities to their children. They are literally saying, "We are poor and we have nothing to leave you except for you to finish your studies."

These are photos from when I attended the Oath Taking Ceremony when I passed the Board Exam as an Customs Broker and I claimed my Professional ID issued by the Professional Regulatory Commission or PRC.
This blog is not about bragging, it is about inspiring young people to value education and not waste the sacrifices of their parents.As I look around, I see many young people taking their education for granted. They're unaware of the sacrifices their parents make to give them a better life.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to those who've stayed with me through this blog. I am hoping to receive support by reblogging and upvoting my blogs in this Hive platform, and I am thankful for all the support I have received so far 💖.
