Harvest

I remember back then about the quote by my supervisor: "Sow and Reap". This is her favorite words and quote from the bible. She always told me to plant where I stand. To plant goodness every chance I have and I will automatically reply: "when will I reap what I sow?" then she will automatically reply: "basta! Sow lang ng Sow" (its just... just do your sowing!). Now, these words of wisdom are the words that are ringing in my head :). You see I am a bread winner and I help in the studies of my sister and brother. I know that this is my responsibility as an elder. Its how we are brought up and I don't mind it anyways because even if it is hard I still enjoy being helpful to my siblings. I am proud that I could give help.

Years, pass by so fast my sister graduated then the last one to finance is my brother. He is the youngest of us four. Me and my sister help each other to ease the burden of financing his studies. This is how we are taught about the sense of responsibility. I am happy that this was ingrained to my head even when I am a kid, today, I would proudly say that I am very stable in my choice of field.

When we are kids we lack of every material things. We are to some extent deprive as we don't have extra money to buy luxuries. Though, our primary needs are met. From there, we dream that someday we would conquer the world and bring our parents to different destinations that we long for. From there dreams are made.

Today, right this very minute our dreams are finally coming true. My sister have graduated and is working in a stable company. My youngest brother is graduating. Not only that, his team won as the National Best Thesis of their school.

Now, I really could feel that this is the harvest. This is the moment where I would get a hold of my life and start from scratch. I have no qualms in doing this but actually I am so happy that this was actually the start of my future. Now, all I could mutter is "THANK YOU LORD!!!"
