ISSUE #99 DECEMBER 2019 - JANUARY 2020 9 I would like to take this opportunity to share my thoughts regarding overseas workers and make this community understand the real life to enlighten their mind set towards leaving their job for unacceptable reasons. Overseas workers do not have it easy forced to be far from their loved ones.

So, if you ever feel like giving up, remember why you started.

Think about the that reason and remember what you felt as the airplane took off, leaving your country — what was that one reason that made you leave your country to chase your dreams? So, when you feel you’re about to give up, fight for your dreams and live your life to its fullest potential.

Everyone is pursuing their dreams, so don’t be judgmental and be kind; being a good human does costs nothing. Blood, sweat, and tremendous sacrifice are just a few of the burdens we carry being as overseas workers. But despite all the that, we still have the strength to smile when all is said and done, so do not underestimate yourself!

In essence, we are not workers, we are warriors — the heroes of and for our families. Edmund Cabaltica
