The second lesson I learnt from young Parton is how powerful a mother's love can be. Parton was so engulfed by her mother's love that she had to transmit this love to her follow students who probably lacked such one. Even as she was being laughed at by the other students, she felt they were ignorant of their actions. As a matter of fact, she only retaliated by making them understand. She told them the story behind the coat and how much love her mother invested in it. She was simply a child filled with a mother's love.
Being happy is never dependent on how much you have in your account. Young Parton tough me that. Despite not having as much as many of her fellow students, young Parton felt she was rich. She experienced a kind of happiness that goes beyond every form of wealth. She was probably the happiest student in her school despite being the only one that was putting on rags. She was so happy that she never took any of the things being said to her by the students to heart.
The last thing I learnt from young Parton is that maturity is never tantamount to age. Though she was as young as her follow students but she exhibited a level of maturity that supersedes that of each and everyone of them. Having being laughed at her follow student, Parton never returned the same attitude to them, neither did she feel bad about their actions. In fact, she saw their ignorance and did all that she can to help understand. Though she is a child, but her behavior goes beyond that of a child.
