PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF JANCY

Yesterday , having a BEL class and yet my group was given an article to read off and yet i could summarize it as follow:

There is a girl named Jancy that has faced a very challenging life due to their family's poverty . During the age of 4 , she was wondering why that their family never own a car like she saw their neighborhood who's owning a new toyota the pass few days . Yet , she asked her mom. Her mom just answered " i have u , ur sister , ur father and this house , it is enough . "

Her family had just owned an old rusty bicycle to commute to anywhere until the day it had been stolen . Then , they just have to walk on feet . That time she was eight . As the family grew , there were even more bills to pay . Her mother always reminded her not to troublesome others even their neighbor did offered a lift or other help . So.. they continued their daily life as usual . They walk and walk and walk even it is tiring . One day , her father did told her that " God sees that you are walking for him . He will reward you . "

Times passed by.. and yet they managed to experince journey in a train or commuter to go to work but not often as using the public trnsports and enjoying a flight when she was offered to study biotechnology in a university in Sabah . Until one day her mother said that her sister is going to buy a car . Unfortunately , that time she was not that excited to own a car anymore . She would be thankful to God that she already have her family and house , that is more than enough .


From the story , i could say that poverty is not the reason for us to stop living our life happily . Happiness is not just about wealth but the love bonds between all of us and the way we treat ourself to be happy at all times.. Money is not everything..
