Support Women-Owned Business

I have to admit that I come from a country where women didn't have many opportunities in many ways and education was one of them. My mum didn't get to go to school because she was a woman. In the last 45 years, most schools in Thailand were temples and monks were teachers. In our culture females and monks are supposed to have a safe distance and that reason why it made it even more difficult to have just a lesson. Furthermore, in the Thai old fashion style, they believed that men were a breadwinner so my mum lost the opportunity to study.

In her late 30's she started up her own business. Just 7 years old and my mum, both of us ran around selling beddings and we failed and we started up a new business selling bananas, we failed and we started up again selling fish cake and we failed and we started up again and again and again. We've eventually become a butcher and successful since 2006 up until now with my dad by her side. She is my huge influence and that makes me want to try my best to run my own business it may not be as good as her but I'll give it a shot.
