hard to believe that it's been less than a month.
if there's anything that i'm really thankful for, it's that the experience there has taught me to be more appreciative of my parents and my family. after learning about the family backgrounds and histories of so many of them, i am extremely grateful for the family that i was born into and for all the material comforts that i have enjoyed these past two decades and more.
i have two parents who care for me and work hard to provide for me.
i have more than enough food to eat every day.
i have never had to worry about not having enough money for recess.
i have a comfortable bed to sleep on and air-conditioning in my room every night.
i have a mother who buys the type of bread that i like.
i have parents who supported me through my schooling years by either driving me to/fro school or paying for my cab fares.
i have sisters who share their clothes with me.
i have had maids to cook my meals and clean my house all through my life.
sometimes, it really takes the bad to help you appreciate the good. and even if this place brings fresh sorrow every day, i celebrate that it is breaking this once-unconquerable part of me down.
i love my family.
