I’d like to share about a personal decision I had to make five years ago. The decision was about leaving my hometown for work outside the country. I decided to make this move because of the lucrative offer the job had. I was looking forward. It really reflected on how it will improve my life and that of my family. At first I was hesitant but my sister helped me in coming to this agreement of having to leave my home. Making this decision really helped me because looking back we are way ahead on how we were before. If you compare our past lives at now there’s a very big change because currently we are fine. I can say we are financially stable as compared to how it was a few years back. We can afford anything that we want without the struggles. For example, I recently built my mum a three bedroom apartment from the income that I’m getting from my current job. So I would say this was a great deal for me and I don’t regret making this choice ever in my life.

I'd like to share a personal decision I had to make five years ago. The decision was about leaving my hometown for work outside the country. I decided to make this move because of the lucrative job offer. I was looking forward to how it would improve my life and that of my family. At first, I was hesitant, but my sister helped me come to the agreement of leaving my home. Making this decision really helped me because, looking back, we are way ahead of where we were before. If you compare our past lives to now, there's a significant change because currently, we are fine. I can say we are financially stable compared to how it was a few years back. We can afford anything we want without the struggles. For example, I recently built my mum a three-bedroom apartment from the income I'm getting from my current job. So, I would say this was a great deal for me, and I don't regret making this choice ever in my life.
