“How can you persevere in a world of unending sorrow? I grew up knowing that I have to prove myself because it seems like I am a freight to my family. I am the youngest of two and the most despised son. But it’s my life so I have to move forward and stay alive as long as I can. At the age of 10, I set my goals broader for me to reach the finish line. I graduated as a class valedictorian back in elementary. However, my achievement is not yet enough to pay for their financial expenses by sending me to school. As I struggle beyond my turn my parents enrolled me in a public secondary school in which I am grateful enough. I met good teachers and motivators. I even share my life story with them and I am grateful enough because their insights moved me to do my best. To the point that I have to earn money to carry my daily finances. I worked with my classmates’ assignments and asked for some food to fill my day; sometimes they gave me a small amount of money. My parents never failed to give me wages but it’s only enough to send me to school and return. Somewhat I have to take care of my food.
But how about my sister? My sister is living a happy and comfortable life. She has all the love and attention she needs. She even graduated with honors in elementary and high school and yet she received all the praise from our parents.
Moving forward I graduated as a class valedictorian in high school. I am so happy because there are schools with a high standard of education awarded me to study for free. During my tertiary days, I moved out to my parents’ house together with my biscuit can and rent a small apartment near my school. I have to manage my time to sustain myself financially; doing school during the day and worked at night.
After 4 years of being a psychology student, I am now a registered psychiatrist. Having this kind of job is a dream come true. This job gives me the authority to speak and inspire people especially with the same story as mine. After the long journey of my career, I got to talk with my old schoolmate and now a medical geneticist. She encourages me to do DNA testing for free. Of course, since I was young it was a question for me if am I their son. After several days of thinking, I said yes. I secretly get a sample of my parent’s hair when I had the chance to visit them. I may be wrong to question my biological profile but they’re raising me not in the way I thought it would be.
When I had the DNA result I left it in the clinic office for about 2 days because I am not certain to know the reality. Until eventually my medical geneticist friend told me that all the testing is positive that they are my biological parents.” Alexander Greyford once said in Good Morning with Jessica Clemen.
“To all the parents who are watching the show right now please don’t be so mean. Treat your children fairly and not like a total stranger. You have to educate yourself about the consequences of treating your child unfairly. Favoritism is mental abuse to some unfavored children out there. Do not replicate your weakness unto your child. They should be guided despite all the shortcomings. You are the parents, therefore, it’s your responsibility not to create outgrowths of favoritism.
I am calling the attention of Mr. & Mrs. Greyford if you are watching to please come over your son left an old biscuit can here for you.” Jessica Clemen said on her show “Good Morning with Jessica"
Two days later after the burial, Alexander’s parents grab the old biscuit can at the office of the said morning show. When they finally reached home they instantly open it. They were surprised to find out that there’s a lot of old paper bills inside. And when they flipped it down they saw an envelope.
"This is all the money that you gave to me since I was 10. I did not spend it because I am worried if I cannot pay you back. And I feel guilty to buy something for myself using your money. But I am thankful enough for giving me the reason to give it a try to live.” Alexander’s note to his parents.
Afterwhile they received a postal from Alexander containing all the legal documents of all his belongings. A house and lot, car, condominium unit, bank savings and all his school diplomas and achievements as psychiatrist.
