The call came sooner than expected. I was elated when I was told that if I'm accepted I would receive a call and now that elation cup was overflowed.
I was scheduled to start working by next week Monday. I didn't have many working outfits but I'll wear what I have until I can afford to buy more outfits for work. I pressed the few outfits that I had and packed my handbag for the first day of work.
My mom was more excited than me when she heard I got the job. She felt her sacrifices as a single mother who works as a maid was finally paying off.
My mom works as a maid for the Bernard family who was the 2nd richest family of our country. She didn't get much pay but what she got she made to work for her. She spend wisely and tried to save more in order for me to get a good education.
It was her saving so hard that I was able to go through university and study to become an architect. Though it was hard as sometimes she couldn't find lunch money or busfare for me to go, she still tried. She made so much sacrifices to give me the best life without a father.
