How Being Discriminated Changed Me

      According to Merriam Webster  discrimination is a noun that means the practice of unfairly

treating a person or group of people differently from other people or groups of people.What made me 

write this blog because there is a lot of buzz going around on how this society discriminates 

maids/nanny's and it affects me because I'm a nanny.  It makes me sad to hear stories like this.

 There's  exclusive Condo that's says maids and nanny's are not allowed to used the tenants elevator

and another story about this exclusive resort that offers "Yaya's Meal".  I think there's nothing wrong

with the meal the only  wrong there is how  they labeled it.  Its so discriminatory! For me they

shouldn't put it at all.  In my case  my employer would just order  a big size of food to share but most

of the time my employer let me choose what I want but if this is the case of course I would choose

the cheaper one and if there's kids meal I choose it.  Good food at the same time it's cheap.  Sadly not

all employer are like mine. Some of them treat their maids unfairly.  I believe God created us equal

and as I always said  in my previous blogs our work doesn't define us it's who we define.We may not

be punish here but Gods sees us!

   Let me share a story of mine how I felt discriminated and how I put it into new perspective. A guy

once told me that my job isn't respectable. Yeah, you heard me right and it's a big slap on my face!

It's like who the hell are you to tell me that.  Do you know what I earned every month is a damn hard

good money.  I felt pity for myself.  I can't sleep that night thinking of  what he said. Is my job isn't

that respectable in what way? I'm good at it and I'm honest. What he said gotten into my nerve and

I started to realize it is the truth, people will look at you differently even if you finished college as

long as your are maid they will look at you as a lower class.  We can't change how people

think but it's up to us how we deal with it.  Are we gonna cling to it or we gonna move on?  For me

whatever  your job is as long as you're doing it for the glory of God and you are honest and good at

it.  Its respectable besides its not the job who gets respected its you who gets respect.  Maybe the 

word respectable that he used is not the right word.  I'm not angry at him in fact  he made me realize 

I can be bigger than what I'm doing right now. He made me see the reality and challenge me that 

even if I'm a maid I can be whatever I want to be. I need to  set goals and turn it into actions.  I 

believe someday I can make a difference and be an inspiration to others.
