Mary is from a little province, having a shortage of everything in life she tells herself no boyfriend unless she graduated from college, so she studied well in college and never entertained any suitors.
" Just court me after I finish college she tells her suitors. After four years of schooling she graduated with a fair grade then she tells herself I will go to Manila where the big bucks are, where dreams do come true. Then after resting for months she decides to make her dreams a reality, "Mom, Dad I will go to Manila to work Mary said to her adopted parents, "why you need to go there?" replied her dad, "you can work here so that we are close to you" he added.
"Dad there is no enough opportunity here and the salary is too low, I want to repay you and mom for all your sacrifices" she replied. "Ok, then when are you planning to leave? ask her dad, " after 2 days dad" she replied. After 2 days her parents come to send her off to Manila, "You take care there" her mom saying as the tears start to fall "don't worry mom I will call you every day" she replied as she enters the boarding area.
