A disciplined mom
Age 15
This not one of my favorite incident, probably because this was the first time I felt that I had disappointed you. It was back when I was in my 10th grade and I failed in chemistry for my half-yearly exam. That was the first time we had a heated argument and you didn't talk to me for over 3 days. It was probably the most painful experience of my life. I know after all the sacrifices you made, you didn't expect this from me. But now I understand why you behaved the way you did, you knew if I failed then I would never be able to achieve anything in life, and perhaps the way you handled it that day made me take my studies seriously and I actually score good marks for my boards that year. I know how certain parents restrict their kids from any kind of entertainment they could get during their boards, but you did no such thing. All you said was that it's my life and I had to set the right priorities for it to be successful, and that's what I've been doing ever since. You were neither lenient nor strict, you raised me to be disciplined and not to over work myself. You knew my caliber and never asked for anything more than I could give. You never compared my grades with anyone else's, you were always happy with the results that I got, you are more than what any child could ask for in a parent. I pray every day that I don't ever disappoint you ever again.
