DEAR PARENTS/GUIDANCE....
In every child, there is a specific assignment which we call PURPOSE. This purpose can be achieved or not achieved depending on how you understand your children, tolerate them, treat them and finally how close and welcoming you are to their ideas and suggestions. It pains me to figure out that some people are WAYWARD today just because of how they were raised and some people are bright today also because of how they were raised too. Sometimes it's important to quietly look into your child, figure out what he/she loves doing most, figure out what he/she detests, figure out what makes him/her happy, and figure out how active he/she is in the field of play, study, craft etc And you'll understand him/her more better.
In Africa, our parents tends to be forceful when it comes to DECISION MAKING(CHOOSING A CAREER) and this particular case have made so many people to loose their path and purpose unachieved. Our African parents should please understand that EVERYBODY WON'T BE A DOCTOR, ENGINEER, PILOT, ETC. They should understand that in a class of 50 students, there is a MUSICIAN who won't have time for mathematics, there is a PILOT who won't like chemistry or even do well in chemistry, a FOOTBALLER who won't understand anything you're teaching in the class but preparing his/her mind on the exploits he/she will do in the football pitch whenever it's break time.DON'T kill the passion in your child towards what he/she wants to BE by ABUSING him/her VERBALLY just because you want him/her to be like his classmate/her classmate.
Please dear parents and guidance, you have a BIG ROLE to play in our lives as your children, Don't push us into WASTING our major time PURSUING SHADOWS, TRYING TO BE SOMEONE WE AREN'T AND ENDING UP FOLLOWING A PATH WHICH IS NOT OURS.
Remember, EVERYONE HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY DIFFERENTLY,
A DIFFERENT LEGACY ,
AND A DIFFERENT FOOTPRINT TO LEAVE BEHIND.
THANKS;
