City Lights

Ticket to Life

    People say life starts at 40 but for Kris, life starts everyday. She is a medical student in a private school in the city, wakes up early in the morning to ride a bus and stays up late to find a job. "Friendly and jolly" that is how her friend describe her, well she really is but behind those laugh and smile are the sadness and pressure that she feel every time she open her eyes.

    "Wake up Kris it's 5 o'clock in the morning and you need to prepare, your carpool will arrive soon" my mom shouted outside my room. Yes that's what I always hear every time I visit my parents here in the province. 

    I'm those one of typical girl who came from a province and started a life in the city for no reason just to know what it feels to live in a city full of lights. It's always the saddest part of the day leaving your own spacious room for a room that you do not own and has narrow space like a match box. 

    Too much for drama and let me introduce myself to you. I'm Kris youngest and only daughter of my mom and dad, taking up Medical Technology I'm on my last year for this course and congrats to myself because I made it through this season. If you are wondering what am I doing in the province, well I'm here to visit my parents because I haven't seen them for a long time and it's school break. 

   While I'm on my way to the city and I'm thinking of something that will make me happy in my boarding house which is a dog. I'm wondering am I the only person who is not that rich but has the courage to be impulsive. I still have 5 more hours to reach my boarding house so I'm going to sleep first. 

After 5 hours Kris reached her boarding house. While entering she stepped on a rag that is full of dust and accidentally slipped.

 "oh what a lucky day" Kris murmured. She stood up and cleaned her room. Its been a while since she got time to clean her room so it needs a long day of cleaning, scrubbing and wiping.

"sometimes I just really want to be a corn, or hotdog in fridge so its cold" she said

She is having a hard time to clean her room since it was a storage room and even though she clean it for days and nights it will just be the same dirty, dusty, and smelly room. 

Kris was a daughter of the former Vice Mayor and a teacher in her province but she decided to study in the city and live in a place like this because for Kris it is impractical to live in a glamorous place where her parents are responsible for the monthly bills. 

"its almost 12 in the midnight and I'm not yet eating" Kris uttered in hunger.

" ah I really cant finish this, i will sleep and will continue this tomorrow" and laid in her bed.
