This was only the time that I knew my daughter fully well, every inch of it. She had ambition that was looming inside herself. She was determined to finish what she just started. I admire her because of her perseverance, skills, determination and willingness to sacrifice just to reach her dream.
MY DEAR DAUGHTER
When I married in 1980, I thought I cannot manage to build up a family because of the nature of my work. I was employed in a mining company dealing with manganese materials. It took me to realized that I may not last long in working there because of peace and order situation which is very risky for me.
When I employed to another company dealing with physical distribution of consumer products - my life changes, my expectation is great. I was transferred in several cities in our country with experience and training as my weapon to further my desire to reach my dream. I have my own ambition not for me but for my kids, a son and daughter whom I love most. I gave all my knowledge to the company I am working, with dedication even if I have to work longer hours. I am willing to do just for them. Sometimes, I am too emotional but by being a father always has that desire to put everything into a proper place. With the help of my wife and her dedication as a good mother to continue her function using all her efforts to bring our kids into the world of obedience, self-respect and with the love of GOD.
I am disciplinarian, but being strict to them does not mean that I did not care for them. My only desire is to put respect first and foremost to their lives. This will be their guide and the living example that when the time come that they wanted a family of their own they will do the same.
When my daughter went to primary level, she was very attentive about her studies. Her mind was focused on how to improve her knowledge. When my 2 kids were in high school, it started to worry me on how can I manage to support their schooling together. We knew tuition fees are increasing every year without increasing my salary. But with determination and courage to face all the hardship that sometimes tested our resolve we succeeded.
When she let me helped her in solving a problem in a homework that she don't understand, she listened and weigh if what I taught to her is correct. She measured my knowledge in teaching her. If she believe that I am not right in what I have teach her, she keep on insisting and questioned me, until I realized that I was wrong. then I know now that she has the intelligence hiding only in herself ready to be used when needed. Her academic excellence was good based on her report card. I feel satisfied until she graduated in high school and entered college.
This is the time that I knew my daughter fully well, every inch of it She has ambition that is looming inside herself. I can see her most of the time in our room opening the pages of her book and notebook, memorizing, understanding and taking notes. My dear daughter is very determine to finish her studies with flying colors. I admired her perseverance, determination, dedication and sacrifice which is not easy especially she was in a university where standard of learning is very high and high expectation from the school to their students is needed otherwise they will fail. But my daughter continue facing all the challenges, trials, test of faith, sleeping overnight just to put everything in preparation of next days activities.
At school she win many friends because she is easy to deal with. Her group are willing to share their time together in a certain occasion to rest from the rigor of thinking and pressure from school.
When my only daughter finished her college years with good scholastic records and passed the last requirements for graduation, I cannot understand what I really felt. There were mixed feeling of happiness and relief that my daughter able to pass the test of time and test of will. Our support, money and time were not wasted.
I graduation day, I felt proud seeing her walking in the aisle receiving her diploma, smiling, showing her face with complete satisfaction and fulfillment of her achievements in school in four years of struggle.
Our happiness cannot be measured in terms of money. We rejoice that giving our children a better future is the happiest moment of our lives showing that we did not fail them of our obligation as parents for their welfare and well-being.
