âWhen the first time I decided to go to Japan, my father slapped me on the face and said âStop dreaming!â because they think I canât do it. But I always want to go abroad, I need to do something more, do what I want to do. This is my first time to go abroad and I want to go. I did everything and I asked my mom, would you let me go if I got 80% scholarship and I can cover tuition fee by myself? And my mom said yes but my father remain silent.  But actually when I did apply for the IELTS, visa, or admission fee my father paid for me and even my father picked me up after the interview. I always think that he didnât want me to go, but actually he was the one who supported me in different way. I remember after the interview he asked how I was doing and how did it go, and it felt good to see him finally care about me even he didnât want to show it. But I got only 65% scholarship, my family considered a lot about that. They didnât want me to have any problem here and they canât help me in case of paying money. I made them believe I would be fine and will try to find some jobs to cover my living cost and even tuition fee..I worked during the break and finally I could paid my tuition by my own last semester. I couldnât describe the feeling when the first I got my first salary by my own, and it motivated me to do more so my parent donât have to spend money on me anymore. But i still put my studying on the first because i realised by any reason I came to here for studying. Itâs hard to balance between studying and working but again you have no choice. Studying abroad is my choice, even my parents said they are willing to pay for me but i feel i have to take responsibility by my own. I donât want to take all of money from my parents because it means my brother and my sister will have less. You now what? The first time I told to my grandma that I am taking part time job in Japan, she cried. When I was in Vietnam i didnât even wash my own dishes, but now here I can and she cried. She feels so sad to see me work hard and asked me to go back to study in Vietnam so I will have good life , but I said I am fine and this is my choice. In the next 10 years or after finishing my study here, I want to go back in Vietnam. People always think about more money when they work but I realised what I need is only love from my family. I donât have choice, when I grow up my family is also growing older. Thatâs why I want to stay close with my family. If by any chance I can stay in another country I want to take whole of my family and send my sister and brother to a good school. I will pay for everything for them, for them to have a better life and education than in Vietnam. I will always remember the money that my parents has spent on me to pay the admission fee actually can buy a new house for us but they spent all of it for my education  so i feel i have a responsibility to guarantee my brother and sister education in the futureâ
