Here is a conversation between Mama Bola and her neighbor, Mama Zahara.
Mama Bola: Mama Zahara, there is this competition by the Federal government that requires primary school students to make and record a presentation about THE FUTURE OF NIGERIA. Winners of this competition will be given a full scholarship from secondary through tertiary school, in addition to monthly stipends. Will Zahara apply?
Mama Zahara: Hmm…, Zahara!
Mama Bola: What do you mean, Mama Zahara?
Mama Zahara: That girl called Zahara, you don’t know her. She will just sit in one corner. She’s very quiet. I know my Zahara, she can’t partake in such competition.
I know most of us are familiar with such conversation above and I am sure that some of us would have been in Mama Zahara’s shoes.
It is common to see parents making some conclusions about their children based on their observations. While parents’ observations may be true, their interpretation and conclusion are usually wrong.
How often have you denied your children such opportunity as described above simply because of your wrong conclusion about them?
He cannot do programming because he did not know math.
He cannot learn writing because he got 42% in English in the last exam.
She cannot become a web developer because she is too lousy.
She cannot learn cake design because she is too lazy to cook.
S/he cannot apply for that scholarship or participate in that competition because they are not looking for their type there.
And the list goes on.
How many adults today are victims of such circumstances because their parents make certain conclusions about them, hence, denied them some vital life-changing opportunities.
In our cake design class at Golden-Aleef Online School, we have a student called Kiki (not real name). Kiki is known to be a very quiet and usually timid girl. Coupled with the fact that Kiki was brought up by her grandmother, it is easy to make certain conclusions about her. I am sure you know such kind of girls; you hardly think of any ambition about them. But Kiki’s story is about to change.
She was enrolled in our cake class and it was amazing to see that she baked her first cake from the first class.
This is the power of exposing your children to several opportunities and allowing their potential and talent to choose for them.
Whether or not you enroll them at Golden-Aleef Online School where there are several courses for kids and teens, make sure you change your limited mindset about your children and stop the uninformed conclusion.
