I do believe the way you raise a child will shape how they act and who they will be in the future. If you don’t instill good hygiene, good social interaction skills, to be polite, to be kind, to help others, to draw close to Jehovah always, to say the truth no matter what, to take care of animals, to be gentle, to express themselves with their words and not with their fists, to help them understand who they are and to help them be proud of who they are then how are they going to learn all these things when they reach adulthood?
My mother did an amazing job! I will take all the parenting she did with me to my future kids. She always reminded me of where I came from and a proudly way that I am not ashamed of being Haitian or of the town I grew up in. When I did something wrong she didn’t yell at me in public, she took me home and disciplined me either by talking to me in a way that reached me to my core and other times she did use a belt but that was very rare. My mom didn’t have to beat me to get her point across, she had a way of talking to me that I even felt bad and apologized for my wrong doing. She didn’t put me down or call me names, she reminded me of my morals and she told me if I didn’t do better how I will end up! That scared me and I did my best to make her proud.
She’s a very hard worker, seeing her work so hard just so she could pay for my school, for my tutor because I was soo bad at math! She used to pay for someone to do my hair and nails weekly! She’s always upgrading my wardrobe… she spoiled me rotting! But there are things I only get if I had good grades in school. She was the best mom a girl could have. She bought me all the clothes I wanted, all the lipglosses, perfume a girl could ever want! She raised me like a rich woman but she was rich in knowledge and in kindness. I was her princess, she raised me to always take care of myself and my outer appearance because that’s the first thing people see. She’s a strong and phenomenal woman, I’ll be lucky if I become half of the woman she is. She’s literally the love of my life. She was the most beautiful woman in my life when I was little i used to sit and watched her in awe when she would get dressed and do her maker up! She’s amazing, I trust her 100%. Anyone who doesn’t like her which never happens because she’s so kind, I automatically don’t like them either.
