mother's best: In the Heart of a Mother

Kids nowadays!

My daughter Alyanna, one day, asked permission to go out on Saturday 'cause they are going to rehearse a dance for the upcoming program. I asked her who among their teachers will be with them during the practice and she couldn't give me an answer. So, I texted the adviser and asked. According to her, she didn't tell her Grade 5 pupils to come to school and practice on a Saturday.

I am glad that my daughter is very active in school, whether with the academic or extra curricular activities. But what I want her to understand is that she cannot make any decisions for herself at this time. She is still very young to decide for something that might not keep her safe. (She's just 10 years old.)

The other week, she was practicing her lines. Actually, I had no idea what she was doing until she showed her paper to me. She had a two-liner which according to her will be her short introduction of herself. When I asked her what it was for, she simply said that she'll be one of the two representatives of their school for the election of District SPG (Supreme Pupils Government) officers. I was delighted by the news. OH! I said, with this kind of activities she's doing, I will be very supportive.

In the heart of a mother, there are so many things going on,so many thoughts agonizing her, and so many wishes she wants for her children. At the end of it all, what a mother wants is for her children to understand that everything she does and tells are for their own good.
