Sounds emo, but this is not emo (I think.. let me re-read again this post 2 years later :P If im still remember). During my childhood my mom usually advise me to strive hard for my education. 'If you do well in your elementary, you will find easy to get good high school!' 'If you manage to get top 10, I bet you will accept by good University!' 'Good grade will lead you to scholarship and its a plus point for your employer later!' Actually my mom its not a typical tiger mom or helicopter parent, as you know they will 'make sure' you will take the path for success. 'Take that internship its a great opportunity to take higher career!' Being raised for working class parent, who gather every pennies for my education fund. Middle class family that we need some second thought if we want to purchase something. Drive me to learn more, study hard, and grab any opportunity or possibility to have a decent life / good life. Thank God, I'm full...
