Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers in the world! I was sad because I wasn't able to be with my mom today. I have done a lot of thinking about moms over the past year. I have met an awful lot of moms during my time in Honduras. I have met some moms who care so deeply about their children, and some who do not seem to care as much. I have talked to moms who are overly concerned, and I have talked to moms who simply don't seem concerned at all. I have met with moms who are already worried that their seven-year-olds might not make it to university if they mess up second grade. I have encountered a lot of moms.

During this year, I thought a lot about how lucky I was to be born into my family. My parents are simply amazing; they give me absolutely everything they can. They love me unconditionally. They make me feel of worth. When I was in school, they always supported me and did everything they could to help me. It's at times like these when English fails me; I have no words that can truly convey the emotion I feel towards my parents. I am really blessed. To my mom- Happy Mother's Day, mom. I'll take you out for dinner when I get home. :)

In my class this week, we made Mother's Day cards. I have included just a couple of excerpts from some of my students' cards. Many of the cards were almost the same, some were a little different. I have just included a few that stood out to me, for whatever reason.

Happy Mother's day!!!!
