I remember the first time I step in to that building. The building is old and has been repainted several times. I went alone. I am man enough  to be there my self when later on, I heard from my other friends that they went to that building with their parents. It was January 2004. I lost my dad 2 years before due to ischeamic heart disease. I believe that it was the complication of his long standing type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Yeah, I still have my mom. But I do not have this heart to make things difficult for her. She was 64 at that time. I can do it my self. After all, it just about meeting the right person, take some forms, and that’s it. I wonder why my other friends need to do that with their parents. I do not remember the date exactly. But it is the day when I apply for the government student loan.

I introduced my self to the person in charge. She was this little and sweet lady and she’s helpful. I get the form, it is yellow in colour. It’s a pretty simple form for half a million government student loan that I am going to ask from them. But, the things that you need to complete was not that simple. They need this and that. They even need my dad’s death certificate. Perhaps there cases where students fake their dad’s death just to get the government student loan. LOL.

That form can’t be completed on the day itself. As I said, they need several document the clarify certain things, mainly about income of the house. I know that I am very much eligible if that is the case. My mom was a teacher, and she’s retired. I had 4 sisters, and I can’t depend on them. They have their own family to take care of. Additionally, among my 4 sisters, only 1 working permanently. 1 is still studying and doing her masters. The other 2, they are professional housewives.

My family helps me a lot in the way of completion of this form. But, what do I meant by the “Letter for The Government Student Loan“. I didn’t tell this earlier but one of the other requirement that I need to fulfill was; I need to write a letter and tell them about “Why I want to be a doctor and what is my future plan once I manage to be one?”.

I heard about the title of the letter before. But I do not know why it’s sounds so cliche.
