When I was a kid, I drooled over laptops alot. My parents weren't rich folks, so they can't afford to buy me one. And I didn't demand from them. One day, my Dad (or Mom, not sure) made a promise that if I graduate with honors in college, they'll buy me one.
Long story short, they didn't keep their promise, but it wasn't their fault - it was mine. I got married before graduation, and I didn't make it to the cum laude list.
Years passed and eventually, I got a job and my life started shifting towards where I wanted it to go. And boom! Here I am, sitting in front of this desk that has those two lappies on top. I landed in a company that was smart enough to figure out that MIS people should have laptops. I got lucky.
Never, not even once, did I ever imagine myself in this situation. Thank God.
