Our family (Santos) had gone through a lot of difficulties. If our aunts and uncles are going to tell a story about what they have gone through during their childhood up to their college life, tears sometimes fall from their eyes. They even thought that they will not going to survive life because they can barely eat three times a day. The Santos comprises of 12 members, 10 siblings and their parents. And in order to have food be prepared in the table, they sell cans, plastics and anything that can be turned into money. But despite of that, they only have ONE GOAL - TO FINISH COLLEGE. Unfortunately, only few where able to receive their
degrees, because the older siblings must support their younger ones. They have to work as a construction worker, as a janitor and as a messenger in order to support the family and themselves. Despite of all those challenges and difficulties, it made a strong, long and lasting relationship between members of the family. And because of their determination and hardwork to change their lives, I'm proud to say that - once they were just a messenger, a construction worker, a janitor and all of those trials have paid off. All of them are now enjoying a fruitful life with a good family of their own. Some of them is now a bank manager, a teacher, a supervisor and the rest were being supported by their professional sons and daughters. To mention some, they are now programmers, systems analysts, finance senior manager, level 5 system engineer, accountants and engineers (I wish one of my cousins or siblings will engage in medical courses. (",) ).
The trials that the Santos' have experienced have made them what they are today. And more importantly, they have established an intact, strong relationship between members of the Santos clan. And the "story" once guided them, will now be shared with the next generation of the Santoses to come.
