Caminando a recibir su Menci贸n

Being a mom is a beautiful gift, I understand if you don't want to be one. But for me, it is the gift called life.
I was once asked what my dream was before having children and my answer was sure and clear: To have children and specifically, three. Well, my dream was always to be a mom and even, as I said before, I had the name "Ammy Elizabeth" written in my notebooks since I was a teenager, because I said that if one day I had a girl, I would name her that.
The school where Ammy, my eldest daughter, studies celebrated its 90th anniversary. Therefore, they organized a solemn ceremony, where in addition to recognizing the work and effort of former teachers and teachers present, they would give honorable mention to the most outstanding students of the institution and to our pride, Ammy received a letter as a special guest at the event, to receive this mention.
For us as parents, with no mention, we are proud of Ammy, she is an intelligent, participative child with a big heart. However, this letter filled us with great joy and pride, so much so that immediately the whole family and friends knew the news.
The event was held at the school and not in another more cozy place where it had been previewed. But how nice that it will be held right there. There were many children, parents, teachers and authorities present as representatives of the Government and the Mayor of the city and also the local press. Between greetings, applauses, poems, recognitions, it was time to call the children and everyone was very happy to see them.
When they called Ammy Elizabeth Monterola Pacheco 馃ス my heart jumped with joy, she walked smiling to the front while receiving her applause. She received the honorable mention for being the student in her grade with the best average, obtaining a 10 out of 10 in her grade for the last elective year. Her father, grandfather and I were present. Her grandmother couldn't be there because she was helping me take care of the kids. But we are all proud of her.
In the evening we celebrated the honoree with Hot Dogs and she enjoyed her day with hugs, ice cream and a nice dinner.
Ser mam谩 es un regalo hermoso, entiendo si no quieres serlo. Pero para m铆 , es el regalo llamado vida.
En una ocasi贸n me preguntaron qu茅 cu谩l hab铆a sido mi sue帽o antes de tener hijos y mi respuesta fue segura y clara: Tener hijos y espec铆ficamente, tres. Pues mi sue帽o siempre fue ser mam谩 e incluso, como he dicho antes, el nombre "Ammy Elizabeth" lo ten铆a escrito en mis cuadernos desde que era adolescente, pues dec铆a que si un d铆a ten铆a una ni帽a, le pondr铆a as铆.
La Escuela d贸nde estudia Ammy, mi hija mayor, cumpli贸 90 a帽os de su creaci贸n. Por ello, organizaron un acto solemne, donde adem谩s de reconocer el trabajo y esfuerzo de los ex maestros y maestros presentes, dar铆an menci贸n de honor a los estudiantes m谩s destacados de la instituci贸n y para nuestro orgullo, Ammy recibi贸 una carta como invitada especial al evento, para recibir est谩 menci贸n.
Para nosotros como padres, con sin menci贸n, estamos orgullosos de Ammy, es una ni帽a inteligente, participativa y adem谩s con un gran coraz贸n. Sin embargo est谩 carta nos llen贸 de mucha alegr铆a y orgullo del bueno, tanto que inmediatamente toda la familia y amigos, supieron la noticia.
El evento se realiz贸 en la escuela y no en otro lugar m谩s acogedor donde se ten铆a pre visto. Pero que bonito que se realizar谩 all铆 mismo. Hubieron muchos ni帽os, padres, maestros y autoridades presentes como representantes de la Gobernaci贸n y el Alcalde de la ciudad y tambi茅n la prensa local. Entre saludos, aplausos, poemas, reconocimientos, lleg贸 el turno de llamar a los ni帽os y todos muy alegres al verlos.
Cuando llaman a Ammy Elizabeth Monterola Pacheco 馃ス mi coraz贸n salt贸 de alegr铆a, ella camin贸 sonriente al frente mientras recib铆a sus aplausos. Recibi贸 la menci贸n de honor por ser la Alumna de su grado con mejor promedio, obteniendo un 10 de 10 en su calificaci贸n del a帽o electivo pasado. Estuvimos presentes, su pap谩, su abuelo y yo. Su abuela no pudo estar porque me ayudaba a cuidar a los ni帽os. Pero todos estamos orgullosos de ella.
En la noche celebramos a la homenajeada con unos Hot Dogs (Perros Calientes) y as铆 ella disfrut贸 su d铆a, entre abrazos, helados y una rica cena.
