Joaquin

A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms
when his hands are empty.

~Reader's Digest

I have been through a lot of ups and downs...and the above quote says it all.

I have experienced emptiness - money, food, shelter but my child made me push for greatness.
I have experience excruciating pain - but my child holds my heart and wipe the pain away.
I have experienced rejection - but my child held my head up so I can look proud.
I have experienced sadness - but my child filled it up with laughter and joy.
I have cried buckets of tears - but my child kissed my eyes and dried all the tears away.

I will always be thankful of Joaquin....he's my angel and my protector.

Our First Parent Teacher Conference

Parent Teacher Conference are held so that parents can keep track of their child's Academic, Social, Psychological behavior in school. If the child needs special attention and needs to improve in certain area this is where the teacher inform the parents so that the parents would be able to help their child learn and guide them towards improvements.

Yesterday I attended my first One on One Parent Teacher Conference in Wacky's school. I was quite excited and nervous at the same time...Just like I said it's my First time...

When I entered the room I was greeted by Wacky's teacher and she address Wacky as the "American Boy" because of how Wacky's talks (he speaks fluent English with a decent accent), She said that they never really had any problem with Wacky, He can express himself properly and he knows how to follow instruction...all Praises for the Boy. Then they hand me their Assessment:



As you can see he's almost perfect on all of his subjects...I know that Wacky is trying to keep up with the deal that we have and that's to buy him his own PSP when he gets a honor in school...

I will always be proud of my boy...his achievement will always be my achievement! Keep it up Wacky and Thanks for being a good boy!
