We live, love, and learn with one another. We make connections and relationships with many people in our life. Some will last forever while others come and go. Relationships always start with trust.
My mother-daughter relationship has changed since I was younger. My relationship with my mother deepens as I grow older. My mother taught me everything I know and she still continues to teach me to this day. She was a single mother who had overwhelming work hours and always found the time to be with her little girl. She has taught me to be a young lady, a caring sister, a true friend, and a loving mother. I will always be her little sweet pea.
My husband, my soul mate, and my best friend. We have been together for 9 years, have two children, and have a very cozy home. We started our relationship as friends. Through trust, faith, and love we have overcome many obstacles that have been placed in our path. Our relationship continues to get stronger. He is the one I will always run to.
The relationship I have with my children is the one I learn from the most. I learn to love and let go of the things I cannot control. Although they are still quite young our relationship is the sweetest, funniest, and craziest. They are the apple of my eye. Our relationship has grown very deeply and will continue as we nurture our journeys together.
I have learned that in order to have successful relationships you must take part, nurture, and learn from each other. A challenge I have in maintaining relationships is time. My time is divided into my full time job, my family, and my pursuit for higher learning. Time is the factor I deal with the most.
Successful relationships are based on trust, good communication, supportive of one another, and make efforts to maintain these relationships. It is a lot of work but it is definitely worth it.
To be an effective teacher we must have relationships with our students as well as their families. We must get to know the child, know where they come from, know who they are, and what they need to be successful. All this is attained through mutual respect and trust.
Hi Melanie,
ReplyDeleteI didn't have you URL until you wrote on my blog, so I know this is after the fact. First of all you have an amazing blog! Ah to be young and understand technology!
My hats off to you, having young children and working on a masters is amazing!!! When you speak of all your relationships I can agree more that one with your own children is something almost indescribable and a learning process throughout life. My daughter had her first child 7 weeks ago and said "I never knew I could love someone so much".
I look forward to browsing the rest of your blog,
Thanks Tina
I hope to have such an inspirational life one day! This was awesome to read! I pray your relationship with your husband will continue to grow and yield even more blessings (wink, wink!). Children are a blessing from the Lord!
ReplyDeleteMay the love you share to the children you teach help your children to learn to love selflessly like you do!
Loved reading this!
