Being parents, we are always hoping to see independent children who can survive in today’s world.
My husband took his degree in London and at the same time engaged himself in part time jobs. Looking for jobs in London was common among students as it is not very difficult for students to find London jobs. It’s actually good as they learn how to spend money that they earn instead of asking from their parents.
Now, when it comes to our children, both hubby and I hope that our children can further their studies overseas especially in London. If they can make it into one of the top universities there, we would definitely send them even if we cannot afford the entire tuition fees. Hubby told me: “Whatever I do, I will get an air ticket for them to go over and they have to find a way. In London, they will not go hungry as they can hunt for part time jobs in London like I did. Your duty now is to train our children to be independent and to excel in their studies.”
Oh, what a heavy responsibility he gave me. I just hope I can train our children well.

I worked my way through college. It wasn't always easy working and studying at the same time, but it was a life experience.
I'm tagging you with the Crazy 8 meme.
I hope I can go to London for work too.. BUT do not have chances..
Tammy,
I agree that it's not easy but after you experience that, you'll be a different YOU.
I'll check the meme. Thanks.
Keeyit,
Me too!
wow no small task!!!
Why London over where you are? just wondering, are there not good Universities where you are?
International experience is very good too! I want that for my daughters too!
Also, haven't forgotten of your tag from a few days ago, I will do it promise!! ;-)
It's not ez to work part-time while studying. I really salute ppl who managed to do that.
Sabinem,
We have universities in Malaysia but they are all not well recognized worldwide which means a local university graduate will find it difficult to look for jobs outside Malaysia.
Thanks for remembering the tag. I will look out for it.
Ginnie,
Yup, it's not easy but it's a wonderful experience.
