As a child i was naughty to the core and very expressive of whom i liked and disliked. Grew up into a teen who was shy and silent and yet a rebel, doing what i liked and doing what i thought was right. Starting a job at early age supporting family while still studying was a roller-coaster ride for me. When i should have had fun with friends and enjoy teens, i was working away and learning things which i thought were impossible.That's a little background of my past; now happily married to a Software Professional in Senior Management and a mother of a 6 year old, i find life more exciting than others do.Life wouldn't have been easy if not for those mentors and friends who came along to support me at every corner of confusion and chaos of life.
Back then, when my family was going through financial crisis and had no money for even food; continuing studies was a pressure, i was heart broken. Being good at studies and having no means to continue, i was suddenly lost!! One of my School Teachers who took notice, sponsored me for the rest of the school and even college. He continues to be my mentor till date and the fatherly figure i still depend on.I saw what studying means to a kid and a teen, and today am glad we(me and my husband) are in a position to sponsor 2 kids for the further studies at WorldVision.in . Though we haven't met the kids yet personally we do get every detail about them regularly from the Organisation. And one of them is a Girl Child. For me, i feel every girl needs equal opportunity to study and take care of herself in life!!What i got in Life, am just trying to pass on!!
And I had a dysfunctional family, as much as i hate to admit that; its fact of life and i wish it was different. But it made me who i am today. Like any other couple, me and my husband have lots of differences. As much as there's fun and happiness in life, there are arguments and tears too. What we make sure of is our child doesn't perceive any of it and when he does, we make sure to explain that its perfectly fine to fight with each other at times and it doesn't change our love for him anyday.Children grow into rebels when they have to hide something, runaway from something. I know i was!!I realized life just taught me how i don't want to be with my child. And as parents what we need to do to ensure he is a happy child always and grows into a good human being!!
Like so, there are many more instances and situations in life which are small and yet teach us something (they taught me). All we need to do is SEE, LEARN.Life is not a single lesson, once you learnt its done. Its a never ending story with twists and turns, throwing puzzles and blocks at you, to solve and unblock at every mode. What you SEE and LEARN, makes all the difference!!
This is my real story and I am sharing what 'I Saw and I Learnt' at BlogAdda.com in association with DoRight.in
