When I was still a student I always thought of ways to earn extra money aside from my school allowance so I could go visit my cousins during summer with extra pocket money. It was also my way of learning how to be self-reliant early on.    When I was in junior high I decided to make quick handmade gifts made of beads and sell it to friends and classmates. It was an instant hit. Even some of my teachers and my mom’s co-workers ordered sets of bracelets and necklaces. I even displayed some of my designs online through my blogging site and received several orders. There were times I would stay really late at night and asked assistance from my younger sister just to accommodate requests.     Needless to say I made a huge profit out of it and looked forward to a grand vacation.
