What a sacrifice!
People of the middle and lower middle class are born with a lot of responsibility on their shoulders. They have to pass most part of their lives struggling for earning two square meals a day. From the very beginning of their childhood they have to engage themselves in working with their parents in all household affairs. For doing the tasks imposed upon them by their parents, they cannot enjoy games and sports along with their classmates or peers. At the same time, they are also deprived of all recreational and entertainment facilities like watching TV, listening radio, handling computer, sending e-mail etc., on account of the insolvency of their parents. Thus the childhood of the middle class children become uninteresting and detrimental to their mental growth. Besides, they have to carry out their studies through so many thick and thins. Most of the middle class parents defray their children's educational expenses through various difficult means.
Despite being poor, some of the parents are seen trying heart and soul to educate their kids by keeping themselves half-fed or un-fed. They supply good foods and new clothes to their school, college or university going children. What a sacrifice it is for their children!
