IT'D SOUND SO MELODRAMATICALLY CLICHÉD TO JUST NAME THIS POST MOM

This morning I had a computer license exam and… along came my mom. No, even though she is one of the traditional Greek moms who even when their sons are 20 pounds overweighted they are still deeply concerned if they have eaten all of their food or not, she wasn’t there in order to support me or something like that. I’m 22 and that would be awful! She was there cause she was having that exam as well. You see the reason I’m posting this is because I’m amazed by her willpower and her ability of getting adjusted in occasional changes.
One story about her is that when my sister and I moved out of the house because we went to another city to study, she found herself alone and having nothing to do because my dad was missing in his work all day long too. So, even though she had never needed to work in the past before, she decided to step out of the house and find a proper job for herself. She hasn’t studied also because she fell in love with my dad when she was still in high school and when it was the time to make the crucial decision she chose to create a family and not to board her knowledge field any further. So, 20 years later she felt the need to contribute a constructive labor made by her abilities apart from raising kids. …Child- rearing is a miraculous and extremely contributive for the society thing to do but maybe the woman was asking for some paid and actual occupation….
Five years later from then, which means now, she is still working as a secretary in a TV station but she never gave up evolving. She always tries to get better in what she does and right now she is taking some computer classes and she has already succeeded in some parts from the seven she is in general supposed to, so to hold the so desired degree. Of course the road is harsh and difficult but she does her best.
For the record today she failed. But who cares, there’s always the Sunday after the next one…
