Most of the parents taught their children to study well to get a brighter future, agree? To make them happy, I studied well, resulting in excellent grades. The time I accepted my diploma and medals, I witnessed how my parents became emotional on stage. My Nanay was smiling, but there were tears in her eyes. I don’t have children yet, but I know that from parents’ perspective, seeing their children on a graduation is such a rewarding moment that gives them real happiness.
