Giving smiles
★★★
I am 40 years old and I must say that perhaps I have lived too many things for the age I am, however, I have engraved in my mind many memories of my childhood that I keep as a treasure, and have been very important for my development as a human being and as a mother. I consider that I had a happy childhood, and all those experiences have helped me a lot to overcome negative emotions and above all, to raise my children with love.

I recognize that I am not perfect, but every day I invest my best effort to transmit to my children the values that my parents built in our home, the good deeds that show that essence that we carry inside and that makes us better people.
That day, my 9-year-old daughter asked me to allow her to attend a social work that the modeling academy would be doing at a nursing home. I asked her why she wanted to go, and her answer was that she wanted to see the smiles of the grandparents when they received the gifts that were brought to them, and she wanted to take pictures of that happy moment for them to remember. Wow, his answer touched me so much.
Certainly, the innocence of children gives us a huge learning experience. It makes me happy to see her smile, but she wanted to make the grandparents happy, that is a great action towards people she doesn't even know, it seems to me that her feelings have been good and, as a mother, that makes me feel proud. The truth is that during motherhood we only want to comply with social standards, that our children fit in, that they are well seen by society, but as we evolve, we realize that this is not enough and maybe it is not the most important thing either, because we have to develop more our essence and show that humanitarian side that can improve so many lives around us.
The challenge is to let them grow and make their own decisions, let go of the reins little by little and trust that children have a great capacity to explore, discover other worlds, yes, our children can really enjoy their growth, create new forms, coexist with others and give their love without us parents trapping them in patterns where they are not full, on the contrary, their freedom of thought is what can guarantee innovations in different areas, which has brought great changes to nature, science, technology, great things.
The grandparents were happy with the presence of the girls, even happier with the gifts they received, but beyond that, I am pleased to see my daughter's smile for bringing joy to other people, that says a lot about her, I only wish she keeps those beautiful feelings, that she can go ahead with her work and that she can someday fulfill her dreams.
Social work can bring out the best in our children, they shine with their own light... we as parents just have to guide them and enjoy the show. Motherhood is wonderful.
