Investing in the Future

By Lam Te
            My parents gave birth to me, knowing that they were going to raise me differently from other Khmer children. They wanted a life for me that they themselves could never have because their parents could not provide for them through the hardships that come from living in rural Khmer Kampuchea Krom. My father had escaped South Vietnam in fear that he would be forced to become a soldier and had entered the Thailand border and came to the United States as a refugee. My mother and her family consisting of my grandmother, four brothers, and a younger sister fled to the Philippines and were afforded the opportunity to come to the United States through the help of a Catholic American family who sponsored them. Both my parents came to the United States on different conditions, but both had hopes that their lives would be better in the United States.
            After my parents met and shortly after had me, their outlook and what they wanted for their children differed greatly from the traditional Khmer person. My parents had a vision that I would be someone important in life, and so would my other three siblings who would grow up to be equally as intelligent and innovative in their unique ways. My father once went to a palm reader who foretold that all of his children would grow up to be intelligent and to make some kind of difference in the world. As a child, I always had the thirst to learn something new every day. Ever since I could remember, I enjoyed writing. My mother told me as soon as I was able to hold a pen and paper, I would follow her asking how to write my name, how to write the name of family members, and other things I often wondered about. My mother when she got to the United States was immediately put into high school, although she spoke no English. School was difficult to bear when there are no foundations, and so she never finished high school because she had me, but she never gave up the will to learn. As I grew up, my mother learned to speak English through me, through interactions and through the cartoons that I watched every morning before I went to school. Even though she never graduated high school, she still managed to teach me most of what I know today. My father was more educated than my mother, finishing high school in South Vietnam, and went to a community college in the United States. After obtaining his associate's degree in political science, he continued on for his Bachelor's degree at a university. He too helped to form my intellect and my perception of the world. At the same time, I helped myself. I was not a child who was idle but always did something productive, and it showed when I attended school. I always received top marks, did well in all subjects, and was fairly likable. When the other children enjoyed recess, I sat alone and read books of all sorts. I saw no benefit in an idle time when something better could always be done.
            My parents showed me love and kindness but were also strict and stern when it was appropriate. They told themselves that they would do what they could to boost their children up, to have things that they could never have. What little money my parents saved up was invested into my siblings and I. They saw no point in saving up money or buying material items that would do us no good. At the age of 9, my parents put my two siblings and me into taekwondo. Taekwondo did not come cheap, especially for 3 children and 1 adult (my mother joined too). In taekwondo, I was taught to be more disciplined, be braver, and to be strong. I am strong today because of taekwondo as well as the support and sacrifice given to me by my parents. Because of both things, I have strong ambition and more will power to make a difference in the world even if it is small. Today, my 3 younger siblings, both parents and I still do taekwondo. It makes me happy and comforted to know that my parents are still healthy and active for their age and that a long life is ahead of them even though I am getting older. My parents taught me important and powerful messages in life. In life, there is more to working and making a lot of money, but if you do make money,  make sure to put that money to good use. My parents never had much, but all of their money was put into us. No amount of money can buy health or happiness. They invested in our health and education. Education is always an investment no matter how you look at it. Knowledge is priceless.
            When I grow older, I will always put future generations into mind. I will invest in my childrens education like my parents did and be around to teach them. Not everyone is as lucky as me to have such opportunities but it is important not only to look into the present, but also into the far future. We are here to pave a wave for our families and the future generations and if we dont give them a strong foundation and support system to start off with, who will?
