Being At University Has Allowed Me To Spend More Time With My Extended Family, And Honestly, It's Been

Being at university has allowed me to spend more time with my extended family, and honestly, it's been the highlight of my year.

Seeing the loving environment my mom grew up in, I now understand what she means when she says she didn’t feel poor growing up.

My birthday was three weeks ago, but I couldn’t see my extended family that weekend. I went last week instead, and my aunts and cousins surprised me with a small get-together. It was so sweet. I felt so loved.

My time here has really changed my mindset. I’ve always believed that money was everything and that you could be happy alone. But now, I’m starting to realize that no amount of money compares to having a loving family or community to share life with.
