Three Things I Learned From My Mother

By Ani de Leon
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 23:03:00 05/09/2009

Filed Under: Family

1. ?You have to work hard to get to where you want to be.

2. There is no ceiling to what I could do. Although I was later exposed to the real world and its many prejudices, I already had it ingrained in my mind that all that matters is what I have to offer, regardless of my gender.

3. A family is a unit composed of people who care for and look out for each other. It does not matter what they look like, what they wear, what they do, or what their gender is. I was always struck by the phrase: What is normal anyway? It is a myth that a family has to be of a certain composition. Nowadays, most families have very unique structures, and it really isn?t that complicated.?
