Recalling a past - A strong personal experience

This happened during a period when I least expected. Along with my 3 siblings, we were only attending primary schools and fun was all we can think of. Money was the last thing on our minds. The fun continue everyday, we didn’t realised what was soon to follow.

Both my parents are working, earning salaries that would support us. But somehow, there is always quarrels between my father and mother over money and it is apparent that my family’s financial status is hitting the danger zone. We began to live by with simple and tasteless foods, they even begin to borrow money from relatives. They never told us why because they thought we wouldn’t understand. I could only ask “how long do we need to eat plain food? I cant take it anymore”. Its an experience I will never forget for relatives begin to avoid us; even our grandmother look down on us. What must we do to change everything?

Sometimes people forge a great bond in times of crisis but I deeply regret it was the complete opposite for my family.
