cosas tiernas
I’ve always wondered how I get to where I am..
& just like a penny fall and hit onto my head, I realised.
I did not get here by myself.
Almost everyone I’ve known got me here.
First of all, my mum. Without her constant support, none of me would happen.
My aunt, uncle, granny all played a part. From giving me fifty quid pocket money to driving me to the airport.
A and his mum. I don’t know why.. but the amount of support I receive from him and her its something you’d give to your own blood and not to an outsider like me. I worry sometimes, do I look like a thirsty dog, panting for water, but I ask God if his intention or her’s are sincere and I think, it is. I must trust Him and welcome their support. Gratitude I have is for their help is unmeasurable.
My first full time job. Lessons and money earned taught me, the L in life. My photo copying job to pay for my braces. My reception job that taught me sorting out letters is tough job and papercuts.
Friends who check up on me when I go silent, who offer me a meal when they know I haven’t eaten since morning, print my notes when my credit goes blank, wake me up to make sure I haven’t died in bed, endless.
I really owe all of this to a lot of people.
I hope I can come back here in September and finally, start law school.
