I remember one of my relative who started their family from scratch. The woman gave birth while she’s still studying and the man is working as a rooster caretaker of a rich man who owned a business. Until, that rich man knew that the man is a college graduate and then he is being asked if he wants to work as a salesman selling medicines and other medical products. So, the man said yes to the offer. That time, they were just living in a small place that the teacher of the woman offered to them for the meantime. The man is good in sales though he is a graduate of a course related to agriculture things (that’s why his first work is taking care of animals). Until he is promoted to a higher position and this time he is assigned to other province. That means woman, man and their baby needs to go there. They were just renting a place. Until the man is promoted to a supervisor and then the company offered a car plan for them and that’s it. They are now a bit rich. Like, they have their own concrete house in a subdivision, have lots with mango plantation, the eldest child is a graduate from Cebu Doctors college and is now a registered nurse, and the youngest is studying in an exclusive Chinese school.

See how life goes? Nobody is sure that those low profiled people and those who are called poor by those rich might also become rich in the future. As I can recall, during their wedding, they are just riding a jeepney which their friend offered them to use and their guests use a dump truck to ride from the mountain to the church and back.

But right now, their life is so comfy with them helping those relatives who are in need. I do appreciate this couple. They are one of my idols in life since their life is from rugs to riches! And now that they rich, they didn’t look down to people who are lower than them. Instead, they are helping them out!
