“Keep Going Towards Your Precious Dreams”
Say Bwei Paw lived in Phop, which is far from Mae Sot, before she decided to move to Mae Sot to join the Rays of Youth Vocational Education Training Program. She wanted to follow her dreams, so she moved alone despite her fears. She had no relatives in Mae Sot, which made the decision even more difficult. When she first arrived, she had nothing and had to stay with a friend for support. She later moved to a place near Robinson because it was closer to her workplace.
Before joining the program, she supported herself by doing sewing work at home. Her biggest dream has always been to open her own bakery and coffee shop. During the training, she faced many challenges such as accommodation, transportation, and financial problems. Even with these difficulties, she stayed committed to her goals. Her perseverance helped her overcome obstacles step by step.
After completing the training, she received a job offer at a bakery shop as both a baker and a barista. She now earns an income using the skills she gained from the program. Working at the bakery has helped her grow more confident and independent. This experience brought her closer to her dream of owning a café and bakery shop. She learned that staying determined is essential when working toward long-term goals.
Living away from her parents is still challenging, and she often feels homesick. Sometimes she becomes very tired, but she continues pushing forward because she is focused on her dream. She is truly grateful to the Rays of Youth program for giving her this opportunity. Her journey has shown her the importance of perseverance and self-belief. She hopes to inspire other young people to keep chasing their dreams, no matter how difficult the path may be.
