There was once a little boy named Jimin that was always picked on by the older kids in his class. He was already in 6th grade but only 4 foot 6 and needed to get taller fast. However, sooner or later he started not to care about his height and focus more on his parent's financial state and how poor that were. The moment he realized they were poor was when he asked for some shoes that were only $20 at the nearby market. His parents said that they needed the money to go and buy food so they couldn't pay for the shoes. At this point Jimin was basically just running around with his feet naked and his parents felt bad but knew they couldn't help because of all the bills to pay. Everyday the boy has nothing to eat and has to beg the lunch lady's to give him the food for free even though it's mandatory to pay 40 cents.

The amount of bullying that Jimin was going through was unbearable and he didn't even feel like going to school anymore. But his only motivation was knowing that in order to make money and help his parents he needed to work hard and study for a good paying job. As Jimin got older his parents were really starting to get sick and couldn't feed him anymore. Jimin needed to work at least 3 jobs to pay for the medicine, food, and small little house that they were living in. One day, his mother died peacefully but wrote her will two days before asking Jimin to take all of the money that she saved up and to work hard in school. Jimin had forgot about school because of all the jobs he worked and realized education was the only way to success. So he used that money to get books for high school and hire someone to take care of his father. 

Unfortunately, time had come and his father died from cancer. The woman who was taking care of him said that he wanted her to tell Jimin to keep working hard and never forget what his mother had told him. So Jimin worked even harder than ever before and that was when his graduation came. He was voted valedictorian and knew his parents would've been happy for him. The man (now) wanted to thank his parents and teachers for bringing him up to this moment. They wouldn't need to worry about whether he could take care of himself because he had a good paying job and a wife. Jimin will never forget his mom's words, "To work hard in school and take care of yourself".
