Sad

What would you feel when you toil hard to earn money to be able to send your child to school. 

As i’ve mentioned in some of my posts before, I conclude that Nursing is one of the expensive courses offered by schools today.  No matter how barat one school is, RLE tuition is not cheap.  Good for the rich. But what about those who hardly make both ends meet but with high hopes that their son or daughter will graduate in nursing and will be able to work abroad (that’s the number one motivator these days why there’s a nursing fever in our country), you have to sell properties if the family has and of no property, you have to let go of the domesticated animals, even the meoowws and the aw aws just to generate funds to pay the tution. whew! 

Now, one day, just few days off before graduation day, the school will tell you that your son or daughter can’t march because grave misconduct.  It does not concern the opposite sex nor fighting someone but it involves only your son or daughter’s decision to do something grevious.  You as a mom or parent have high hopes to see your child march down the aisle of success and now — darkness fell over after hearing such a bad news.

My heart ached for that mom.  She almost fainted.  She cried softly hard but in awhile had trouble breathing.  My hand was shaking as I was getting water for her.  I feel for her and I feel for the son.   It was like I wanna scream at my son blaming him for the heartache he caused his mom.  One mom cried loudly but one teacher hugged her.  She went out of the office quiet but with crying eyes.

I have so many why’s to be asked to the students — but it’s better to keep my mouth shut.  But surely, I would feel sad.  Really, my heart was heavy witnessing what happened.
