I woke up at the sound of the alarm clock. I turned it off quickly thinking that my parents may wake up from my annoying alarm. I let a deep sigh. This would be another tiring day for me. My everyday work is really sucking up all my energy. I should be used to it since this has been going on for a year now. I have two part time jobs everyday while I'm studying. Isn't it tiring? Good thing its summer but opening of classes is fast approaching.

I let out another sigh and slowly slide down from my bed.Ugh. The alarm clock says it's 6 in the morning. My head is aching because of lack of sleep. I forced myself to stand up. I know what will happen if I won't, I would be sleeping the entire day and probably wake up tomorrow. My bed is really tempting. I immediately took my towel and go directly to the bathroom before I give in.

I'm working at Beans Date, it is a well known coffee shop in town. My shift there starts at 7 am to 11am, and my school hours starts at 1:00 until 5 pm, so I have more than an hour to rest before I go to the university. I also work as a part-time waitress in a bar/club for wealthy and famous people. It's only a few blocks away from Beans Date and I was very happy for the opportunity. Aside from it's very convenient for me to go there from the coffee shop, the compensation is really good.

My schedule at the bar is 7 pm to 11 pm so I only get 6 hours to sleep every day. Its been going okay with me but I just don't knowwhy this past two weeks I've been having a hardtime sleeping. The first week was okay but having without enough sleep for 10 consecutive days is a nightmare. When your body is so tired but you just can't give up because you really don't have any choice but to work your ass hard. It's very tiring sometimes, however, each time I wanted to give up I always remember why I'm doing this. I want to have a better life for me and my family. I have dreams, and I want to achieve them.

My mother earns very little in her work from a laundry shop every weekdays. My father, on the other hand, is working as a truck driver which he is being paid well, however, his salary is just enough for our groceries, payment for our house, electricity bill and all the other bills to pay. I want them to have savings that's why I don't want to burden them with my tuition fees.I know they can't afford to send me to school. Good thing I was given a full scholarship at school sponsored by the owner of the school itself, Mr. Frank. I met Frank when I was in my senior year in highschool. He visited each and every school to find brilliant and hardworking students to be given a scholarship and be part of the most prestigious and well-known university. It's a great honor to be studying at the State of Washington University. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever thought that I can have my degree in one of the best universities in the entire US. I've thanked Mr. Stymest so much for the oppurtunity. I owe him a lot that I've studied harder to excel in school to show him how much I value the opportunity he has given me. He saw all my efforts and hardworks, he offered me a partime job to be his assistant and he's paying me well for it. I have five subjects per day to take. After I've done with my subjects, I automatically go to his office to arrange his schedule and all meetings and things he needs to do the next morning.The man is so kind and as I spent my first year in college, he became closer to me and I treated him as my second father. I care for him and I know he cares for me like his own daughter. He's a very good man and very helpful to those who are needy.
