When I was seventeen, I was a varsity in our school basketball team. I got a full scholarship since when I entered the basketball team. I tried to maintain good grades so I can maintain the scholarship as well. But things happen with reason but those reasons are sometimes unknown to us at first. My girlfriend got pregnant and I needed to marry her and give up school so I can provide for our child. Since I do not have a degree, I landed in different blue collar jobs while my wife continued her studies. She got a degree and she got a fine job in the city. Finding a nanny is difficult and with limited income, we could not afford to have a full time nanny. So I stayed at home and watch over our child while my wife goes to the office. It is in those silent times when I watch my child sleep that I realize, if I finish my studies, I could have gotten a better job and we could give our child a better future.

When I graduated in high school, I was still undecided what course I will take in college so I just enrolled in a university where my best friend enrolled and I took the same course he enrolled in. Before our first year ends, I realize, engineering is too complicated for me. So I shifted in a different course, I took up accountancy.  My father is a certified public accountant  and he earns a good sum of money from his profession. When I was in my second year, I had a hard time balancing the balance sheet. The statement of income was too much for me to handle so I have decided to drop the subject and take on a nursing course instead. Years passed, I always find something hard about a certain course. Until finally I stop and realize, I have been studying for the past twenty five years of my life and I still do not have a degree. May be there is nothing wrong with the courses I enrolled in, there is something wrong with my attitude towards education and career.
