This was an essay included in my Take Home Exam. I don't really have the idea why, no relevance at all. Oh well, we were tasked to choose between these options - My Most Embarrassing Moment, The Day I Hated Myself, and My Most Defining Moment. Obviously, i chose the latter. Whatever! =p
When I was still in college, earning my degree, I had this intuition and fear about the future. I was afraid to end up unemployed and be a burden instead of support to my parents. I was a CAP scholar – a privilege I had through the sweats of my parents. My dad died when I was still 9 years old, and I grew up with my mom alone. To give back my gratitude to my mom (in behalf of my dad) for the good things they’ve done to me, I make it sure to top in my course. I hit the second honor spot several times, and I received 50% tuition fee reimbursement and refund. A little as it was before yet it felt so good every time I gave the reward to my mom.
