The joy…

Someone once said “it takes a whole village to raise a child”
I am a mother of three children with no family support, no cultural ties to any particular country and absolutely no religious belief,
I worry often if I am doing the right thing.
I don’t have a whole village to back me up in my role as a mother.. and I worry and I worry..
Have I made the right decisions?
How would the choices I make affects my children?

One of the major issue was my son’s tendency to read books during class. ( I have done it all through medical college, but not in grade 7).
A part of me feels what he is doing is wrong..He has been send to school to study, not to read story books during class.
There was absolutely no way I could stop him from reading.
He reads mostly during English class because he finds the lessons really boring.

He had to write an assignment on Ned Kelly last Friday.
This is what he wrote.

He showed it to me when I went to pick him up.
You know how it feels to read a brilliant piece work? My heart danced with joy when I read what he wrote..
Every day is a struggle raising my son.. but the fringe benefits are spectacular..
