Chasing Dreams
Eddie E. Bigueras
According to Sal Fortuno, the greatest gift a parent could
give to their child is education. Each and everyone deserves to own a diploma and create a better future for ourselves and loved ones. One must not deprive to education because it was already infusing in our personality. It is not an elective rather it is necessary for us to save our future and the dying future of our nation. Our very own hero Gat. Jose Rizal once said, “youth are the hopes of our nation.” But this quotation has been neglected because of the continuous increasing demand of our society. Education plays a vital role in the development of our society. It will always become the greatest aspect to consider for the development of our nation.
Deo Dacara a Humanities and Social Sciences Student from
Naga College Foundation. He was from a not wealthy but not so poor family in a local town of Pili. According to him education is the powerful weapon to defeat all the uncertainties and obstacles in life. His mother work as a sales representative at a private company and also works as a therapist as a part-time job. When he was in 4th grade his dad murdered by an unknown murderer. That moment starts the fall off of their family. As they started to experience challenges that brought them to suffer. He has seven other siblings wherein her mom needs to support 4 of them. He said that he is felt sympathy to her mother as he observes that his mother is getting exhausted every time as she sustains their needs. That is why he was determined to finish his study. Indeed, problems could really affect all of the family members. Deo at an early age he was already challenged as he helps his mother to pay his tuition he must save a single penny on his pocket just to acquire money to pay his tuition and projects. To lessen her mother’s burden, he decided to help her grandmother and aunt in their store to sustain his daily allowance. After he arrived from school he will work for his responsibility in the store.
But after a while he confessed that at the apparent moment
he is been suffering from anxiety wherein he overthinks, he is getting out of focus and getting lazy. On the other hand, he said that his mother can no longer support him from his study. Well apparently according to him even before, her mother doesn’t have any care to him at all. But he is very determined to show to her mother that he is deserving. That is why he faced his problem alone it may be financially, mentally, socially, spiritually and physically. That is why currently he is experiencing with anxiety extreme loneliness and distress. For him it is difficult to address this kind of issue especially when there is no guidance of a parent.
According to Catriona Gray Miss Universe 2018, lack of
child is the primary cause why youth today are incompetent. It is not the poverty that kills an individual dream. We must stand not for ourselves but rather let help every child to be the hope of our future. We must empower education for it will make a child’s dream a reality. Home is the primary place where a child must learn, a parent should act like a teacher, a persuader, and an inspiration to their child. They must also believe to the capabilities of their children. To all the parents, don’t let your child suffer and eventually kill their dreams just because you were busy making money. Child’s dream always matters.
