When I was still reviewing for the board exams after graduating in college, I only had two pairs of jeans. I alternately use these jeans going to review school. One of it was already shredded in some parts near the thighs but I had no choice but to use it because I had nothing else to use as an alternate pair.
I knew that my friend, whom I was with the whole time we’re reviewing, saw the state of my jeans. One was really faded, and the other torn one. But she never said anything about it because she knew that I had no other option but to go to review school and wear those jeans.
Looking back, I realized that those pairs of jeans became a tool for me to reach for my goal. To pass the board and then get work right away. I did get both. My license and a good job.
