My loving daughters (Part 2) : Caroline, our older daughter
Caroline, our older child, had an introverted personality, but also an amazingly strong sense of responsibility, loyalty to family and a high degree of patience. Even when she was only 5 or 6 years old, she knew how to care and look after her younger sister, Alice. Even when they were quite young, we occasionally left both kids at home while we ran errands because we trusted and depended on Caroline¡¯s dutiful character. Looking back, I myself also had to carry a lot of responsibility as an oldest son during my childhood.
Caroline enjoyed water sports such as swimming and surfing. She was a strong swimmer and competed on her high school¡¯s swim team. She also took her own time working as a volunteer supervisor at a community swimming pool. When she had spare time, she used to volunteer her service at the Canadian Red Cross, blood doner clinic. Although I didn¡¯t notice until later, Caroline had excellent skills in writing and presenting herself to her peers and superiors.
Caroline finished high school with honorable achievement, and began university. Despite four years of undergraduate studies with high marks, she did not get accepted into medical school on her first attempt. But she was determined and studied one more year to make it into medicine at the University of Alberta.
Tuition and school expenses for medical school were much higher than other faculties. Although we had enough resources to support her university education, she voluntarily took out student loans and had summer jobs in order to finance her own education and living expenses. Though Caroline lived at home while attending university, she occasionally paid us money in appreciation for the home accommodation.
When Caroline was in her first year of university, she wanted to own a car to drive to school. Knowing that we wouldn¡¯t buy a brand new car for her, she said she would be happy with a used car as long as it was in reasonable condition. So, searching the used vehicle market, we bought her a 6 year old 1988 blue Chevy Sprint for $3000. From what I recall, Caroline was the world¡¯s happiest girl when she got her first car. She drove that car for over 12 years until its engine finally quit. She was working as a resident medical doctor at UBC hospital in 2004 at the time.
When Alice moved to New York City for work, Caroline had taken over Alice¡¯s car (1989 Toyota Tercel) and is still happily driving it while working as a psychiatrist in Vancouver hospitals. Caroline lives in a beautiful, newly built high-rise condo that she recently purchased in downtown Vancouver. However, her philosophy of owning a car hasn¡¯t changed, and she doesn¡¯t care what kind of vehicle she is driving as long as it runs.
