Parenthood

Happiness mother and son on the street at sunny day.

The role of parents in our lives is always different and precious than others involved in our life. Nothing in this world can compare with the true love and care of parents. Having a family is not a simple responsibility and one should take it seriously. Having kids is something that changes a person’s life forever.

One thing that appeals to me the most in becoming a parent is watching my children grow and become somebody that people need. I believe that raising children takes both parents’ effort and responsibility. A wife and husband should work together as a team in raising children. At this point, I am just beginning to recall how hard it is to raise a family. I was only 20 years when my son was born. I had mixed emotions which cannot be explained in words. I have loved watching him learn, create and grow into a beautiful little boy.

Now he is 4 years old and ready to experience a new phase of his life. September 8th was his first day at school. He was very excited and curious, but being a mother I was very nervous and emotional as it was the very first time that I had to leave my son for almost 6 hours. At the same time, I was happy that my son was going to explore a new world. After my son, my life is much more meaningful because I have the privilege of being a mother.
