MY MOTHER

The first word each of us has ever uttered is “Mom”. She is the one who gave us life, and guided our first steps. That is why she is the most important person in our life.
A mother’s presence is very important for a child’s personality evolution. She helps us to improve our quality and teaches us how to make a difference between what is right and what is wrong.
She is the one who was next to us in every moment of our childhood, teenage and that is why she is a friend you can trust, a person who knows you the best and to whom you can tell all your problems. With your mother next to you, you can be sure that all your problems will disappear.
That is why a mother is always the most important person for each of us, a model and a guide in our lives.

MY MOTHER’S EYES

Sometimes we need a person to be next to us and help us in a certain problem, and generally we try to find help in a friend, a classmate, without thinking that there is a person who is always interested in the problems we have and who would do anything to help us. We fail to see that the person who would be most appropriate to offer help is right there, next to us.
We might notice, if we are very attentive, that our mother’s eyes are always following us, that they smile if we are happy, that they are concerned if we have a problem, and they are worried whenever we are in trouble. Her eyes are the mirror we could look at every day, and we could see support there, because she is always next to us, willing to sacrifice everything for our wellness.
She may be tired sometimes, but this will never be noticed in her eyes, if we are there because she finds happiness in our simple presence.
So, if you ever need support, just look for your mother’s eyes! She will give you all her power and support.

A CHILD WITHOUT A MOTHER

Can you imagine your life if your mother hadn’t been there for you? Can you imagine your childhood without your mother’s smile, stories and advice?
A child without his mother cannot ever be happy, even if he smiles or laughs at some point… His soul will always cry because he feels the coldness around him, even if the atmosphere can be very warm. That child will always feel that something is missing because he doesn’t have another soul to tremble, cry, suffer, smile, or be happy together with him.
That child might smile during the day, but will always weep in the evening when going to bed, because he cannot feel his mother next to him, he cannot listen to her stories or receive a kiss from the most important person in his life.
If you have your mother close to you don’t forget to tell her how much you love her, she might go away one day…

WHAT IS A MOTHER?

Mother: a word that everyone knows, everyone uses, without ever thinking what the hidden meaning of the word is.
What is a mother, then? She is the persons who gave birth to you. She is the one who taught you everything from the very beginning. She taught you how to smile, to talk, to walk, to play, to be happy.
Mother is the person who was there next to you whenever you were sick, without thinking about her sleep, but just thinking about your health. She is the one who suffered first if you hurt a leg, and the one who was the happiest when you knew your poem for kindergarten.
She is the person who guides you when going to school, learn with you if you cannot understand something, and be proud when you succeed. She is the person who best understands your feeling, even when you meet a boy, and she will always give you good advice to follow.
Once you are a grown up, your mother is still there to help you, she is there to listen to you, and help you if you need it. Even is she is now old and maybe a grandma, she is still your mother, and in her eyes you will always remain the small child needing help and guidance.

MOTHER

I don’t remember everything about my childhood, but I remember that my mother was always next to me when I needed it. She used to read me stories when going to sleep, and we used to have many games during the day.
I remember that she would teach me new words, and correct me when I couldn’t say something. We used to do a lot of things together. She even pretended to let me cook with her, and now I know she was doing the entire job, but at that time I was sure I was a great cook. But she had so much patience with me that sometimes I wonder how she could manage. She never seemed tired although I know that she was going to work, cook, clean, go shopping, but she always had time for me. We were most of the times together and most of the times I wanted to play, and she never said no. I wonder sometimes if mothers have superpowers when it comes for their children when I think of my mother when I was very young.
Now, my mother is still the same and she is my best friend. I talk to her whenever I have a problem, and I always ask her for advice. She seems to know the answers to all my questions. Sometimes I think it is unbelievable.
I am sure that if everyone thinks about his mother he would say the same thing, but I am also sure that I have the best mother of all.

LETTER TO MY MOTHER

I know that I wasn't the best child and that in many occasions I made your heart small like a flea. Also I know that many times in my childhood I made you laugh, today even if we know that I grew up and even if I promised, your heart will not suffer because of me, you all will continue to worry and to pray for me and that because GOD chose you to guide me and help me get over all the difficult moments.
And I want to thank you because you broke pieces of your heart so many times to implant in your child's heart to have a part of you wherever he goes.
Mother without you I am nothing. I may be eager to grow, but hopeless because I'm alone in the world.
If I had to choose between you and life, I would choose you because you gave me the gift of life. If I could just press a button to make you forget about all your troubles…
I would do all these things because you deserve it, and because I love you very much.
Never have I seen you with different eyes, you will remain the same for me.

Finnish Mothers and Daughters & Spanish kitchen

 
Sastamalan Opisto (Sastamala Community College) Teacher Ms Merja Musakka comments the course in Spanish as follows: 


Un día oscuro de octubre nos reunimos para hacer comida española. Queríamos hacer comida típica española que también sería bastante fácil hacer en casa.
Tortilla es  un ejemplo de las comidas fáciles y baratos, solamente hace falta patatas, cebolla y huevos. Probamos también aceitunas verdes y negros.
El azafán es una especia que normalmente no usamos aquí, pero da buen sabor a la paella.
De postre hicimos flan, la postre más típica de España. No nos pareció muy fácil hacerlo, pero la práctica hace el maestro…..y lo podemos probar en casa más tarde.
Mientras comimos, conversamos de muchas cosas que son importantes para nosotros y fue muy interesante oir opiniones diferentes. Fue una experiencia buena para nosotras.
