“Strive hard and you’ll succeed”.
“Good things come to those who wait”.
Nah, being born and raised to follow those who have authority and the elderly; I have learned to endure a lot of obstacles throughout my life, hurdling through to get the inked parchment paper that would become my passport to what they said as a greener pasture.
I have been patient. I never became a problem child. I got my college degree with the least effort I could give. I was attending class just to avoid flunking my subjects or repeating the same course all over.
