Not only for all they have given us but also for their unwavering devotion, which has moulded who we are now, our parents deserve tears of happiness.
Since they were our first teachers, caregivers and protectors, parents and guardians are extremely important figures in our lives.
Even though their sacrifices and affection are frequently unseen, they are the cornerstone of our mental health.
Our development and perspective of ourselves are greatly influenced by the relationship we have with our parents and guardians.
Our parents committed to raising us from the minute we were born.
As we search for success, let us not forget that our parents deserve tears of joy.
Being a learned child doesn’t make you forget your parents.
Parents teach us essential life skills and their guidance shapes our understanding of the world and helps us develop a sense of identity.
And by that, they deserve tears of joy and as we pursue our academic journey let’s work towards achieving something to their joy.
This week, my focus is on how we can make our parents cry tears of joy as we pursue our academic success.
Every parent expects to celebrate their children’s success.
Last week, I was at a place where some parents were discussing the behaviour of their children.
I remained chilled-minding my own business but with my ears paying attention to the discussion.
A particular parent was claiming that, because his kids always caused him trouble and he had repeatedly attempted to interact with them, much to his dismay, he had given everything up to God.
Nobody can modify a child’s unwillingness to learn positive things, even if they are a child.
Another parent stated that although his children haven’t made him happy, he still prays for them to honour him in return.
During the conversation, not a single parent expressed satisfaction with their children’s behaviour.
They also talked about how, with all of their hard work, they expect to see them graduate from college and university with honours.
Fellow students, our parents, and guardians are one day expecting to shed tears of joy.
Recently thousands of students graduated and my heart was filled with joy to see parents celebrating with their children.
These are tears they expect from their children.
From a young age, it is evident that some students are born with greater potential and capabilities than others.
Every student has a set of strengths and weaknesses that will affect his or her ability to learn and the level at which they learn.
A focused student is aware of that perseverance, self-control, and hard work, which are prerequisites for success.
As you shift your targets, remember to make your parents and guardians shed tears of joy.
Be willing to make your parents shed tears of joy.
Parents always play a key role in our academic journey and they need our thanks in return.
Many times, some parents regret giving birth to children due to some shady characters out there.
In our quest for success, let’s also consider the tears of our parents who are also expecting good things from us.
I understand we all dream of greatness, and life at times does not give us what we expect and anticipate but the effort matters most.
One thing that matters the most is that our parents always pray for us to make it in life.
We may not be able to give them everything but seeing us doing well in our areas of interest, the parents can cry tears of joy.
Sadly, many parents have tears of shame and tears of sadness over the behaviours of their children outside the home.
I have read more about students being expelled from college or school due to bad behaviours.
The news is not always good for the parents.
As children grow, parents continue to support them emotionally and financially, often sacrificing their own needs for the sake of their children’s happiness.
We may not give them the best we can but let’s try and give some tears of joy.
The only tears we should see from our parents are tears of joy.
Many times, I have seen some parents crying and regretting ever giving birth to some children.
Our parents need tears of joy.
Many parents make significant sacrifices throughout their lives to ensure their children have better opportunities than they did.
These sacrifices stem from a deep-seated love that drives them to prioritise their children’s well-being above all else.
Children are biologically wired to seek approval and validation from their parents. When this approval is absent or conditional, it can lead to feelings of inadequacy or low self-worth.
Conversely, when parents express unconditional love and support, it fosters confidence and resilience in their children.
To honour the sacrifices made by parents, children need to recognise their efforts and show appreciation.
Students can simply act in kindness or expressing gratitude verbally.
By acknowledging what parents have done for you, you can contribute to a more joyful relationship that benefits both parties. Ultimately, recognising the love and sacrifices made by parents allows for a deeper connection between generations.
It creates an environment where both parents and children can experience joy together.
As we continue to grow into adulthood, let us strive to reciprocate this love by caring for our parents with respect and compassion.
Our parents deserve tears of joy, not just for what they have given us but also for the unconditional love that has shaped who we are today.
Until we meet for a toast
