'Strategic and long-term thinking methods have always proven effective in driving a company’s success. I share to my kids what my day was like at work and how I was able or not able to handle things.'
It made me remember one of the assignments we were given when I was taking my teacher’s degree. The assignment was “What are my gifts? How did I nurture them?” I was born as a healthy 8.8-pound baby at the Metropolitan Hospital in Manila. I consider it as a gift because my mother had a miscarriage, before I was conceived.First is my Grand Aunt, who reviewed with me each night and each morning because my memory at age 4 was as poor as an 80-year-old’s.
I have been asked how do I nurture my gifts. I believe that for each role I was gifted with, there is “work” to be done. Work for me is never confined to any four-corner office. Work for me has always been an opportunity to experience and learn. Above all else, work for me is its own reward. I work hardest to be a good working mom.
I read so many books and articles for parenting, business, the spiritual, and biographies. I have attended many talks from experts. What I have always stood by is convergence and consistency in my role as a mother and an employee. I believe that motherhood is a gift to our workplace—and our work is a gift to motherhood. Motherhood teaches us a lot of great values to be patient, fair and nurturing. Whether I like it or not, I am a role model to our kids, especially in their earlier years.
On the flipside, the workplace throws me a myriad of tasks and experiences that hone my ability to efficiently manage situations. Strategic and long-term thinking methods have always proven effective in driving a company’s success. I share to my kids what my day was like at work and how I was able or not able to handle things.
Looking back at these answers made me see the many things I am grateful for, as well as what I wish to value even more moving forward. I have always valued relationships. I hope to continue nurturing them. I am grateful I am given the chance to pursue my passions, especially in education. I hope to also take on the challenge my husband and my friends constantly push me to pursue—self-care while caring for people around me.
