Prompt: Write about advice you have received before coming to the Access Academy.
When I was selected for the Access Academy, all my family members, all my relatives, became very happy. Many people gave various advices. My mother, my father, my brother, my aunts gave many precious advice.
Among the advices, the most precious advice that I received was given by my grandmother. Though she is an old lady with ancient thoughts, she said to me, “Everybody will tell you to get married. But never listen to them. First, you have to achieve your higher education. You have to be a successful woman first and then you can think about marriage. Don’t do the mistake which I did in my life by not receiving higher education. I want to see you highly educated.”
I will never forget this precious advice. I will follow the advice with all my efforts.

Comment by maggie/seberu April 21, 2008 @ 4:29 amYup, pretty amazing. It’s a rare ancient grandmother who would say such things!
Comment by amyadoyzie April 22, 2008 @ 12:06 amSometimes, grandmas surprise you. I get similar things when I go to México. Not from everyone, but enough that I don’t feel all super self-conscious about being my age and not married.
Oh, did you hear about the drama at Wilson?
Comment by cindylu April 22, 2008 @ 3:16 pmWoah! That Wilson drama is intense.
Comment by amyadoyzie April 23, 2008 @ 11:35 pmIs it totally inappropriate that I snickered at the “fob” line?
