The Children
My mom and dad are from a Catholic family. It was here that she got educated in school and in her life was a good school teacher. She was very smart, very dedicated and had a passion that helped her to make things happen. She had a great passion as an artist and as a scientist.
My mom’s love of music and teaching made her my best teacher at college. She taught me a lot of books. She taught me a lot of subjects like the classics and even taught me her personal knowledge from reading a book she’d read over a lifetime. She loved teaching and I was not an exception. My dad would even tell them to leave their jobs in the office when they went to college to spend their time with their own families. He would give his mother the best of education. Every time she saw the kids in her work she would let him know the school needed more students and it was a good thing for their lives as far as education was concerned.
Our daughter, who’s in sixth grade, made some very great and unique teachers. She was very bright and smart. She thought big and was dedicated and could talk to the other kids about it. In the beginning of high school she had to go to the library everyday because she would often think we should not study. So she would leave her books in the library and she started to be more creative and that’s when she got involved in all the things that she was involved with.
Eventually my dad and I were married and we had a baby boy and she was a very strong mom.
I have always made sure that my family and I had the best family lives. She taught us all the great things about life that we did through hard work, selflessness, self-sufficiency, kindness and hard work. You can see it in this quote from my dad that said that if he needed one thing to help children they had to be in heaven and he had to take his dad in and teach them the “great things” such as doing something a little bit different than what you hear the kids saying. My dad taught my kids how much it means to be a mother and I also learned that there are good people in this world and they are doing great. When I have to have one thing to say a single day it comes with an enormous meaning to me. I pray that with each visit I see that that meaning can be brought to life.
My dad was a great and brave teacher. I hope that his legacy in high school could inspire others to have similar opportunities. That’s why I make sure to read these points because I truly believe I’ve found something good that you can use to motivate other children to learn to do the things that they love.
