Hey @jessicaossom, thanks for joining the contest and for your fast response. We all have different approaches to the questions and I agree with all your thoughts.
I will take any kind of burden on myself and make sure to protect him from the difficulties of life. I will be there for him whenever he needs me and ensure that he has a bright and successful future.
If I were a parent, I would do the same. The future of our kids lies in our hands, not in anyone else. With the right guidance and support, the children will have a better future. It's not necessary whether we were born with a silver spoon, it's a matter of hard work and the right guidance. Many poor children grew up into successful individuals. That's because of the sacrifices of their parents.
There's an adage that says, "It's not our fault that we were born poor, but it is our fault if we die poor."
The reason I'm doing this is because I don't know how my parents will meet their basic needs if I don't do anything.
Same reason here why I support my parents in any way I can. It may not be our responsibility to pay back their laborious effort, but as a good child, it would be in our conscience to do the right thing without expecting something in return.
By the way, it's glad to know that you go back to study. It isn't too late yet anyway. Besides, your success is for your son as well. May I ask something, are you a single parent? I admire those single parents who manage to support the family while raising their own.
May your God bless you with a healthy body and mind so you could do things you needed to and guide your son until he learns to stand on his own ☺️.
Good luck lady!
