When love is a solid foundation

There was a time when I wanted to put everything aside to help my parents, but then, I was not alone on the new path.

The day I received my university acceptance letter, I was overwhelmed with emotion, but mixed with joy was a heavy burden of worry. My family was struggling financially, and the weight of tuition and living expenses seemed to stand in the way of my dreams. There were times when I considered putting everything aside to help my parents, but then I realized I wasn't alone on this new path.

I still vividly remember the radiant, proud look in my parents' eyes when they heard the news that I had been accepted into university. Tears streamed down my weathered cheeks as my mother choked out, "Just focus on your studies, son. Even if we have to sell our land, we will still provide for you." That wasn't just encouragement; it was the unconditional sacrifice of my parents. That love gave me immense strength, making me realize that I could never let them down.

On my first day of school, I also received help from the teachers and senior students. The teachers not only guided me through the procedures but also showed concern for my circumstances. The kind eyes of the teachers and the gentle smiles of the professors dispelled the awkwardness and anxiety of a new student from a rural area like me. The senior students also enthusiastically recommended suitable part-time jobs. All of that made me feel not alone, but welcomed into a large, loving family.

The most surprising and touching thing was receiving a scholarship from generous benefactors. For me, that money was not just financial support, but also a symbol of trust and invaluable encouragement. I understand that behind each scholarship lies a noble heart, a desire to help fulfill unfulfilled dreams.

All that help, from my parents and teachers to generous benefactors, has become my strongest asset. The road ahead may be full of challenges, but with the support of love, I believe I will overcome them all!
