Why Be an Adamsonian... Why Not?

My parent used to say, Education is best legacy that we could you give you. Education can’t take away by any  man nor can disappear.

Now that I become a parent, this too has been my philosophy. WE parents give and do all that we can to be able to make sure that our children will have the best education there is.

I may say, that I am lucky enough that my children were able to be enrolled in the top universities in the country because of their talent and academic excellence but not all parents are blessed as I am.

I am saying this because, I am now starting all over again with my foster child who someday will get a college degree as well

As a parent there, there are thing that I need to consider when helping my child to discover which university best suits her need.

Recently, I was able to go back to the university that once in my time is my aim college university to go to; Adamson University.

When I graduated in high school, Adamson University was one of the two university that I wanted to be enrolled in and now I am happy to be able to visit it again.

A brief history about Adamson

Moms Little Big Helper: What Household Chores Can a Seven Year Old Do?

I thought that I am done with kids, hahahaha; what a joke?

I’m not complaining, I miss kids running around the house or there would be someone who will greet you upon arriving home or someone who will accompany me  when I  go out.

Originally, I have 5 kids of my own.  yes, my flesh and blood but since they have a life of their own; I decided to become a foster parent.

Dhandrew come into my life when he was just five years old and even though he was not related to me in any way; I become so fond of him.

Fast forward; Dhandrew is now seven years old. Just like any other kids, he wants to play; watch TV and other stuff a kid would love to do.

Dhandew is the first boy that we had and then came Gabriel and then we got a twin boy several months ago.

It’s a happy house but a ramble as well since there are more things to do and take care of

Dhandrew being the eldest at seven , need to learn a few tricks on his sleeves.

While children now a day becomes more and more bound to internet, social media and phones and uses a sense of entitlement instead of responsibility; I as a foster parent has a responsibility to guide him

As much as we love our children , we also need to teach them to become responsible adults as well. Our goal is not just them learning something but to have them learn important life skills  while learning as well to be responsible,  perseverance, patience.

What’s nice about Dhandrew is , he is now the little big helper in the house. At seven years old, Dhandrew  has his own task at home.
