I can’t forget when I was still a kid; I usually go out on the streets and glimpse upon each moving car.  I told myself that I’ll get one someday.  I’m not from a very affluent family, we never watched movie together nor did we eat in fancy and expensive restaurants.  True, I don’t remember doing any of those.

When I entered and started schooling, I was always in the star or top section; this is the section wherein my Mom told me that only the gifted, clever and intelligent students belong.  And deep inside me, I was really proud of myself.  And when high school life ended, I was still among the honor students in the pilot section.

During college, I was admitted in my first choice of course and that really made me overwhelmed and overjoyed.  “I’m nearing my dreams”, I told myself. But indeed, college is never easy and at times very costly.  There are times when I don’t have enough allowance to cover up some school expenses.  I survived because I got real, good friends. They backed me up and supported me all the way, from selling goods to putting up my own online dissertation editing services. I don’t know what I have done through my life to deserve every blessing from God. I was really blessed.

And now, while riding in my new car, my cousin on the passenger’s seat asked the best advice I could give to him as he’s starting his college journey.  Without a wink of an eye, I told him, “Study and Pray!”
