ate's journey to riyadh

today, my oldest sister, went to riyadh, saudi arabia to work as a nurse. it was finally her wish come true to have a job related to the course she took up. she first worked at a call center company then did reviews and trainings. finally, she's now off to a foreign land to give service to others as a nurse.
the whole family went to the airport for support. my mom won't stop crying especially the day before my sister left up until the moment we got back home. we waited until she and her other companions checked-in in the airlines. while waiting, we ate at kfc at the naia international airport. there, we got to chat with each other.
its sad to have one member leave but of course, that day will definitely come since the economy in the philippines is not so good especially when it comes to the salary of workers. my sister was so glad that she was able to find a job. i think she will come back after two years. my mom was the most depressed when ate left. ate's twin was sad but of course she know that she will follow ate because she also wants to work abroad. three of us in the family took up nursing. two are already nurses. and as for me, i still have a long way to go.
who wouldn't miss ate? out of the four siblings, she is the most responsible. of course, i'm gonna miss her but that's just part of life. i hope she stays well and take care of herself while she's away from us. i wish her well with her job. au revoir!!!
