I'm superbly happy and my husband was absolutely overjoyed when our
eldest son Tyrel called to greet his Dad a "Happy Birthday!" That was
last Sunday afternoon, my son was at work and can't join us for the
celebration. At least he didn't forgot and found time to make that
important call.
If only am the wealthiest woman in the
world he doesn't need to work as a line cook. He is smart! He is
intelligent. He can study without working his way to College. He is
working and at the same time studying, dreaming to become an
environmental scientist someday. I know he loves Science right from the
start. I noticed and observed that when he was in Elementary and when he
was in High School holding unto that "make believe guinea pig." (Don't
know for sure if I want to post that photo here. That's one thing that
you have to ask with Canadian people, you have to ask their permission
first. It's not because I'm the mother and I have the right to post
their pictures. Maybe when they are still young then maybe it's just
okay. Courtesy always plays a part. Unlike with Asian people...nvm. lol.
Some other entities or other races would be happy or happier when their
names are mentioned and or being posted for bragging rights or for
purposes that will land them in better light of days).
Anyway...
I
first thought he would pursue a career in golfing because he started so
young in golfing. He likes golfing at the age of 4. His Dad brought him
to the golf course and golfed with him. Before he graduated from High
School he was fortunately found a job at the local golf club and I
thought that would be his vehicle. However, his role model Tiger Woods
suddenly was involved in a scandal and that was it... he lose his
ambition. I think he got upset and disappointed. I was disappointed that
also happened. We have high expectation to think that role models (so
many of these role models) will do that to young generations of
millennials who looked up to for inspirations. His Dad employed him in his business. He worked in "construction: carpentry works and painting houses. Anyway, teachers are role
models too. Maybe there are higher expectations and golfing as a sport
is not the only options because there are many different options to
take. Working and finishing a university degree is one of those options
and the expectations to make, only time will tell.
I
once asked my son to just have the ambition to become a teacher. Be a
teacher. There is nothing wrong with being an educator. Educators are
well respected and honored for their exemplary work in educating the
younger generations and thus help propagate knowledge. He told me that
the workplace for teachers are somewhat hostile and dangerous. Well,
it's true as we are aware of that stormy situations that happened in the
United States where radical students took matters into their hands and
the schools become a hostile environment. It must change. Children
around the world needs changes that will lead them to better
understanding of a great education. Education as an enlightenment is a
must see and that's how a certain race becomes the guiding force to
eliminate racism and other obstacles to growth.
My
son just happened to have liking for work and having more work
experiences lead to better understanding of what knowledge should be
distributed and how it should be shared and how to learn from those
experiences. Why finish University education when you already have a
job? You probably had asked that every time when you see these College
dropouts who are millionaires and billionaires. Truth be told that
having a valid certification set the trends and thus will help you
attain higher goals in life. Certifications from university lead to
better understanding that you persevere and you become a role model and
inspiration in acquiring higher knowledge. It is the theoretical aspect
to finding better employment and it's the company who will be pursuing
your input into the workplace. You have more options and you get to
choose better quality job when you are a graduate of college and
university. It's you who will choose your salary and you can make other
demands such as valuable benefits. You always have the choice.
It
will be a choice not chance. I wish my dear son to choose whatever he
likes. He is a young man, he is a good man who knows what he is doing.
He can drive his own car, he is employed and if he is happy with his
choices then so be it let him achieve what he dreamed of to success.
