Hey there! Let me tell you about a joyous moment we
celebrated of late. My older sister (ate) officially passed her Thesis subject,
making her eligible for graduation! Whohooo! She can now cross off “obtain masters”
in her bucket list. My parents and I couldn’t be any happier for her!
In retrospect, we all had to pitch in for her to finish
her thesis if not financially, physically and mentally at least. It was no
joke, I tell you! We had to go over pages and pages and compute for the result.
Heck, my father even stayed up at 1 in the morning to finish his share. He
never stayed that late, it was way past his bedtime! I guess, we all made
certain concessions then. I mean, my mother was usually out and about with her
church affairs but she refrained from doing so in order to help sis. Two of my
cousins also put in hours checking their share of the questionnaire. I had to
do without the late night TV that was as vital as any of this generation’s
social life! But then again, my sister was the one who had to do without with
many things.
