Growing up, we were not rich. When I was young, I used to envy my classmates who had nice homes. Their rooms were painted according to their favorite colors while I had to share one tiny room (in white) with my older sister, Janine. Most of them had tile flooring. We had black and white linoleum. They had French windows and nice cupboards. We didn't have that. I don't blame my parents. They worked very hard. In fact, they tried their very best juggling 2 to 3 jobs just so we can stay afloat.
I had an epiphany when my mom told me: "You have to finish college and earn a degree. That is the only way for you to be comfortable in life. Promise me that." And so, at 8, I promised her.
I was not able to finish college due to financial reasons and that made my mom very disappointed at herself. She said that because we were poor, she can't send me to school. I did try for a scholarship but then, it wasn't for me. I wasn't concerned though because I had a dream. To keep my mom from feeling guilty, I told her that one day - Janine and I will give her a beautiful home, just like the model houses seen on magazines complete with walk in closet, second floor bedrooms, astonishing master bathroom with tile flooring and everything else that she wanted.
The Dream
My sister and I have always been inclined to creative writing and one day we registered in this online outsourcing website. With our writing skills and artistic minds, we were able to form a company that provides writing services. In less than 3 months, we were renting a loft downtown as our office and had over 25 employees. Other than that, Janine expanded to website creation and I enrolled in an online school specializing in writing.
After a year of learning the ropes of our business, Janine and I had enough money to repair mom's home and so we did. We hired the best tile flooring company in town - we met them online because they too were our clients. We even had the best discount package knowing their capabilities and experience, the price was too cheap! They offered us a financing program and we took that chance. We just wanted to make our mom happy.
We managed to have hardwood floors for the living room area and dining space. Tile flooring was everywhere, from the kitchen to the bathroom. The same company also did the wonderful cabinets of the entire home. We also decided to give her carpet flooring for her bedroom, something she has always fancied.
After a few short weeks of installation, they finished ahead of schedule by the way; we brought our mom to her new home. She can't believe it. She was just speechless. She kept on asking, how much is this, how much is that? Janine told her not to worry because everything has been handled.
My mom sure seems like she hit the jackpot and I know that we did as well, hiring this amazing company. If you want something new for your home, hire this company and you will never regret doing so. They are the best!
