The Quest for Greener Pastures

***Here's an essay that got me 2K (unedited):
                          

The attraction of greener pastures abroad once so consumed me that I finally decided to give it a try. What with a sea-faring father and a number of uncles and aunties who are OFWs themselves, it seemed natural for friends and family members that I should be working outside of the country as well. In fact, they have prodded me on to apply abroad even while I was still in college because it is a sure way to earn big compared to the meager income that is typical of an average employee in the Philippines. As proof, I have enjoyed their “pasalubongs” and dollar souvenirs whenever they went home while I was growing up. My father was able to send us to good schools, bought us “stateside” stuff, and generally made the whole family’s welfare better because his income was in dollars. However, deep inside of me is a dread that I find hard to explain because I know how difficult it is to be away from the familiar surroundings of which I am accustomed. I know how hard it is to adjust to a different culture, to deal with various types of people and to move with a different working environment. I can’t help feeling wary of having to be alone because I know it is so hard without any friends to share feelings with, without family to help me with problems and without anybody to turn to especially when sickness strikes.
