Every parent wants the very best for their children. They always want their children to have a better life than they had.
That's why so many of our parents or ancestors sacrificed everything to move to a whole new country, leaving their homes and their families, to start a better life. It's why some of our parents have spent hours and endless hours working a menial job just to put food on the table. It's why they work so hard to send us to school and to support us in our own endeavors.
The most important thing that a parent can give a child, though, is wisdom.
Even if a parent hasn't gone to school for him or herself, there is so much to be learned from living a life of any kind. One does not have to go to school to be smart and wise, but it's every parent's dream that their child make it through college and into the workforce.
The mother in the true story below was never able to go to school, but she had certainly lived life in her own way. She wanted the very best for her daughter, but only had certain skills to teach her. But she was sure to teach her everything that she did know.
When her daughter asked Mom for help with her little business, Mom didn't give her a straight answer, no. She told her to go and investigate for herself, to use that noggin of hers to solve problems for herself, just like she had.
Just in case you were wondering, the girl from this story did end up graduating from college in real life.
