Working Student’s Heartfelt Goodbye to Family Touches Netizens
A working student moved many people after sharing a video of his farewell to his family before going back to Manila.
Recently, Mark Villamora, an Instagram user, shared the emotional video of his goodbye before heading back to Manila. The post quickly went viral and received many reactions from the social media users.
Mark Villamora, a student from Naga City, said he only gets to go home during Christmas and summer breaks due to his busy schedule as a working student. Despite the distance, his family remains his biggest source of strength, inspiring him to keep going even when life gets tough.
Villamora shared that every time he comes home, his mother immediately becomes busy preparing for his visit, while his father never fails to express how proud he is of him. He said he feels deeply loved in their home and finds comfort knowing that his family accepts him completely, regardless of his achievements.
The working student also expressed gratitude to the people who treat him like family when he is away from home. For him, these relationships remind him of the unconditional love his parents give and make him realize how much parents hurt when their children experience hardships or pain.
Mark ended his message by encouraging others to be kind to the people they meet in school, at work, and in different walks of life. For him, showing kindness and compassion can make someone’s journey a little lighter, especially for those who are far from their families.
Here is the full post:
“Lubos ang pasasalamat ko sa lahat ng taong itinuturing akong sariling anak, kapatid, o kadugo tuwing malayo ako sa aking pamilya.
Napagtanto ko na ang mga taong ito ay nakaranas din ng parehong pagmamahal na ibinabahagi nila—pagmamahal na nagbubunsod ng pag-iisip na mas higit na nasasaktan ang mga magulang sa tuwing ang kanilang anak ay nakararanas ng pananakit mula sa iba.
Maging mabuti tayo sa mga taong nakakasalamuha natin sa paaralan, sa trabaho, at saan man tayo dalhin ng buhay.”
