                    Being the oldest child is also a responsibility, as being a parent

I was 12 years old when every school vacation I have to find a job to make money and help my father to pay my school supplies when school starts, because I knew my dad spent a lot for our school me and my  After college, I started  working and as the oldest of my family It was for me a responsibility  to help the family because at that time, my father was retired and my mother was fully  active in her business because she felt now old. Every single months I have to divide my pay check in three parts, one part for my own need, other part for my father and another part for my mother because the both are separated. The money  I made at my job was not enough anymore to support my parents, so I had the idea to open a business. By the help of a bank which financed me, I opened  a computer business for which I hired my friend who after his associate degree was in the need of job. My friend and I, made a good team, goods collaborators, Because when I was I my Job my friend managed the business, and when I came back from my work, I have to take care of the business until close.

At the beginning of that business, it was very hard because it was not working well , so on the top of helping my parents, I had also to pay back to the bank the money I borrowed, thing which was very stressful.

So I have to work harder and harder to have that business work, and  for that I start spending a lot of money on the commercial of the business. Finally after couple months everything went well and allowed me to be more responsibility by helping my sisters and brothers for their school. For me,  it was a duty of the oldest of a family , so I had to keep helping until they did not need it anymore. It  was my experience as the oldest in my family.
