Had to sprint this little piece for my niece at the request of my doting mother-in-law. This piece is supposed to be an "example" for a requirement. Shortcut if you will. Sure it would have been great if the kid did this on her own, no doubt about that, but that's not my point. What I'm driving at is this. It never fails to put a smile to my face whenever I see ates, kuyas, parents, grandparents and other relatives personally supervising the "learning process" of the children in the family. I remember my mom literally breathing down my neck in the early evening, as soon as she gets home from work, to check if I did my homeworks correctly-- of course to explain things if i did not, and to cheer me on if I did. I miss those pat on the backs, as most times in our adult life, we have to pat our backs ourselves.
For Riz
Being with my classmates and friends is fun,
I enjoy stories, snacks and playing under the sun.
But everyday that I'm in school,
I'm always learning things, which I think is cool.
I learn about words, numbers, and reasons,
Including manners and christian values for all seasons.
My teachers are all helpful and nice,
Teaching me about God and Jesus Christ.
Here, I'm happy and content as a kid can be,
And this is why the Our Lady of Sorrows School is special to me...
