Brilio.net - Sometimes, there are relatives who underestimate someone's future. This can happen because of differences in views or expectations regarding life, career or education choices. This dismissive attitude can appear in the form of negative comments and also unsupportive attitudes.
That's what this woman and her family felt. He is often underestimated by his siblings because he has a paralyzed father. The story can be seen via the TikTok video posted by the @inikestory account.

"Your father is paralyzed and a poor person doesn't have anything and he can be successful," wrote the woman.
The father had an accident when he was in the 3rd grade of junior high school. This incident made his father lose his ability to walk. So as the first child, he immediately took on the role of being the backbone of the family.
But instead of being humble because he had been ridiculed, he didn't want to stay silent. Not to react with violence, but rather to prove that his brother's words were completely wrong. Because of that, he was willing to migrate far away to become a migrant worker so that he could make his younger siblings successful.

Indeed, there are always sacrifices amidst the excitement of success. That's how this woman felt. Away from his homeland for 8 years. In order to change the fate of the family.
"For their sake I have eaten rice with salt, been economical, worked day and night and this is the result," wrote the woman.
As the saying goes, what is planted is what is reaped. This woman was finally able to send her 6 younger siblings to graduate school. This is also a form of silencing that he cannot be underestimated. No one can ever know a person's fate.
"How are you, brother? There is an older sister who is willing to work as a migrant worker to support her younger siblings even though my school dropped out in the middle," he said.
"Seeing your younger siblings successfully wear togas and get university degrees one by one. That is the payment for the sacrifice of your older siblings who never came home," he wrote.

The 6 younger siblings graduated with their own interests and dreams. 3 of them have degrees in nursing, 1 is a midwife, 1 is a civil engineer and 1 is an economics graduate.
This story went viral and attracted the attention of netizens. Many praised the woman's sacrifice as an older sister. Netizens flocked to congratulate the family on what they had achieved.
"My brother is great, if it weren't for his struggle I wouldn't have reached this point. Now it's my turn to help my brother pay for his child," commented a younger sibling.
"Sis, the greatest among those who are graduates is you. Yes, you are great, love you sis, your sister must be proud to have a brother like you," wrote the account @balinesetherapis.
"Sis, don't forget to be happy. Thank you for being great," said the account @gendhis
