Chinese New Year edition: A Mother's Wake-Up Call
Dignity for Children Foundation
Breaking the cycle of poverty through quality education.
Dear friends of Dignity,
As we step into the Chinese New Year of the Snake - a symbol of wisdom and renewal - I'm reminded that every child has potential and deserves a chance. At Dignity for Children Foundation, we've seen lives transform, like a young boy who overcame his struggles and thrived, thanks to the support from caring hearts like yours.
A Mother's Wake-Up Call
Every child is born different and unique, and my child, Ken, is no exception. I had high expectations for my son to excel in Maths, but for him, it was pure torture. He struggled immensely, and each homework session was filled with pain and agony. Despite my best efforts to tutor him, he was not getting better. Our relationship began to suffer as I was frustrated and angry most of the time. I saw my son's inner light slowly dimmed. He lost all joy, not just in Maths but in life.
One day, my son looked at me and said,?
"What's easy for you might not be easy for me. Why must I get an A in Maths?"
It was a wake-up call for me. I realized that I had to change. It was not an easy decision, but we enrolled him in Dignity School. At Dignity, things started to turn around. Although he continued to struggle with Maths, he began to come alive again, like a desert soaking up the first rain. He blossomed into a confident, compassionate, considerate, and creative person with a remarkable ability to understand and connect with others.
With his renewed joy of learning, he eventually graduated and now at only 18, he is highly responsible, respectful and above all is excelling in a fine dining industry. If I had not listened to my son, I would have lost him forever. Dignity School changed his life and ours.
This Chinese New Year, I invite you to bless a child's journey and create more stories of hope and renewal. Wishing you and your loved ones joy, wisdom, and prosperity in the Year of the Snake!
