Ladies of Hive
Welcome to my blog.
If you could get a second chance at something, what would it be?
If I should get a second chance, I will like to go back and finish my studies to the university level and get a good grade.
Today, in this week’s prompt, I want to take you back to my past a little bit so you can get my point.
Back then, when I was a secondary school student, I always had the dream of furthering my education to the university level and coming out with a good mark. I had the passion of becoming a medical doctor or a mid-wife and helping people’s lives and myself. Yes, I said myself, because of my fear of certain deadly diseases—diseases like breast cancer and infections—are something I wish to know more about due to my past experiences.
Now, talking about infection, I was a victim. I suffered from infection so much at my little age—so much that I would miss classes—and my experience of a neighbor who died of cancer sickness always made me wish I became a doctor who can help people and at the same time help herself in a medical way.
But unfortunately for me, my parents were not able to sponsor me even if they wished to, due to their financial capacity. They couldn't.
There is this trend in my family that if you are through with your secondary school, that is it. We don’t get to further more, and if you want to further your academics, then I guess you have to do it all by yourself. This is why my dream got stuck.
But now I am happily married with a lovely daughter, and I am still hoping that I will go back and continue with my education. Even if I don’t become a doctor, I will surely be a good pharmacist and have a pharmacy of my own. This way, together with my husband, we can be able to support and train our kids to any level they desire. One thing I will never be is to not be able to train my kids to a great height, Inshallah.
I will make sure I give them my best as a mother and give them a proper education for them to be their best. I want to be a supportive mother to my kids, stand by them at the time they need me the most. And don’t get me wrong with my words—I am not saying that my parents didn’t stand by me when I needed them the most. Actually, they did try their best for every one of us; it’s just that we are too many, and they couldn’t sponsor us to the level we wanted.
