Sacrifice Your Dreams Just to Have Someone Fill in Your Dream

This morning,
I was on board on a jeepney going to school, the jeepney stopped by at 3 young
kids. They were also going to school like what I did. Sadly, Only two of them be able to
study/go to school.
It was the eldest child who's only job is to accompany her two siblings on their way to school.
See how great sacrifice the Eldest child is doing?

On a modern day scenario here in our country, it is common to people in the poverty line to
drop out to school due to inflation and other stuffs.

I was really touched and somehow pitied the eldest child because imagine accompanying your younger siblings in going to school while she cannot study.
Yes I know that Public School Education is free for all students.
But why does the little girl cannot go to school?
Maybe there's an internal problem within the family.
But personally I cannot tell that.

So does everyone of us.

It seems like such a common problem there. I was watching something on TFC like a week ago and the eldest child was told by her parents to make sure that her siblings make it through school but they showed no interest in sending HER to school. Sad. I wish everyone had a chance.
