Proud Dad & Mom

(Above : Sean while reciting the poem)

After the 3 days Quarterly exam of Sean (my son), his teacher told my mother that they choose Sean to participate in their up coming celebration of "Buwan ng Wika". His teacher asked him to recite a poem entitled " Sa Iyo Aking Bayan"

When I heard the news sabi ko, "wow, talaga!" (na excite ang mommy). Biglang nag-flashback yung highschool days ko. Kasi during those times, I also represent our class. Declamation naman ang linya ko. Kaya lang medyo nag-alangan din kami, kasi knowing my son, medyo may pagkamahiyain lalo pa pag marami ng tao sa paligid nya. Pero I know my son can do it. So I first memorized the poem then tinutula ko sa kanya until sumasabay na sya.

Syempre si Jay todo encourage din and its good to know na ok din magmotivate yung teacher na nagturo sa kanya. Nagulat na lang kami mga 2 days b4 the celebration, when we asked him again to recite his poem, "aba sobrang confident na ng anak ko".

Then i day prior to the Buwan ng Wika, we heard that it's a contest pala, hindi lang basta magpeperform ang anak ko. Medyo nag panicked ako, pero looking at my son's confidence, I said " tuloy na 'to, wala ng atrasan".

So the night b4 the contest, I asked him to pray, na i-guide sya ni God, para matapos nya yung tula nya.

We're not after the prizena, knowing that my son was the only one who got to memorize the poemand the only representative in Nursery, was good enough to say that we're "proud of him".
