Finally the long awaited day had come. I was going to start fresh joining high school as top scorer in the entrance exam. I waked up early in the morning. I helped my mom preparing meal for the family. After a while, the whole family gathered around the table to have breakfast as usual. Nonetheless, this one was with bad news. My dad diagnosed with leg muscle problem told us he won't be teaching in the weekends since the doctors advised him to get enough rest, leaving one of us to drop out of school. Passing through the big gate of my new school as if I paid the tuition, I headed straight to the notice board looking for solutions. Fortunately, I came across to two new posts, first is competition for scholarship funded by local bank, the other is job vacancy for students as chemistry lab assistant in a middle school. I succeeded in winning both of them. After two weeks I got a night job in tobacco cigarette factory as furnace feeder.
After all, one has to pass the hard times to eat the fruits of life. Although working these jobs and learning at the same time is so exasperating, it have paid off well. These jobs propelled me to become a caring, hardworking and dependable person. Getting out of my comfort zone, I got to expose myself into real professional world at a tender age of 15. Furthermore, I have been able to integrate what I demonstrate in chemistry labs to what I learn in my chemistry class and what I see in the cigarette factory. I have become passionate to know how the massive reactors are build, how a simple chemical reaction in the lab can be done in industrially, and to study how everything I see around is manufactured.
These experiences will only push me forward to my dream of pursuing chemical engineering and becoming an entrepreneur engaged in manufacturing new and improved products by environment friendly industries. I plan to do researches on traditional medicines used in my society and if possible to produce them industrially.
unluckily, my mom has been in hospital since last year diagnosed with liver cancer. Although, I couldn't join college since the most of our income goes to her treatment, I ensured myself I will fulfill my dreams no matter what.
