Children of Good Report
My daughter gave me a text message, informing me that I need to go to their school and meet with the teacher of my younger son. She explained a bit about the situation and I was a bit worried for a while.
We tend to blame ourselves when something is amiss in the lives of our children. We think that we should have been there more or we should have done something earlier to avoid such situations. What we forget however, is that we are only human, and we can only do so much.
My daughter is in her third year, a consistent honor student and graduated Salutatorian in her Elementary Grade. She is usually in the top five of her class (even now in High School) and have managed to join many interesting activities in the process. She is a good writer, very articulate and could very well memorize her lessons because of her photographic memory. She rarely studies, yet constantly gets good grades in Chemistry, and even tops her exams.
My son is generous, helpful and very demonstrative. He loves people and admires them a lot - from the plumber to the great artist, my son simply loves to socialize with people from all walks of life. I used to bring him to Church when he was a baby and he would simply sleep through the service (amidst loud music from the praise and worship band with drums and all!). He loves to play all kinds of sports and have joined some junior leagues in and out of our small town.
He's not as brilliant as my daughter, but he is quite good in Math and definitely exceptional in tinkering with things. I dedicated him as a Pastor and surrendered everything to the Lord's care. In fact, he has undergone many testings and trials, while my daughter has been spared.
I love my kids and I really thank and praise the Lord for giving me such lovely and loving children. They are my true treasures in life. Knowing that they love me too and still enjoy my company is a great blessing. It's rare to have children these days who would go with their parents, especially when they have other friends to be with.
"Teach a child in the way he should go, when he is old, he will not depart from it."

8:11 PMI adore you as a teacher because you really are a good one, an inspiration and the one we look up to when we need advices and the like. I know, too, that you're a good mom to your kids coz I can see it the way you handle us, your students. I really appreciate your patience, and disciplining on us Ma'am. Those things really made me become a better person; and, I came to my realization that things don't work overnight, and one should really work hard to achieve what he wants to achieve in life. Thank you Ma'am!
