It’s that time of year again when you hear graduation marches being played in almost every corner. This is the season when graduates mark the end of their journey and begin a new chapter in their life. For parents like you, this period signals the passing of the torch to the younger generation. No longer will you wake up very early in the morning and come home late at night to work extra. The reason for doing such was to earn more so your child can attend activities or buy materials for projects. In a way, this is also the end of your own journey and the commencement of your new life’s chapter. What better way to celebrate this joyous occasion than a bag full of delectable goodies from Bongbong’s Piaya and Barquillos.
A Compelling Journey
A famous Chinese philosopher once said that the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single small step. When you really look at it, you also begin your own journey the moment your child enters school. At that moment you realize the need to work more to make your child’s future a bit brighter and wonderful. No matter what your status in life is, there’s always that drive to make your child’s tomorrow better than yours. As both you and your child trudge along the path, his success can be yours and your success also his. The journey may be rough sometimes but when you hold on to each other’s dreams, you know you’ll both persevere.
Inner Motivation
It’s said the teacher may be able to open the door for your child but he must enter it himself. This means that yes, new knowledge may be introduced by the teacher however your kid must fully understand it. To do so would mean he needs to study a lot and memorize his lessons well. Performing this would require inner motivation. At this time, you as a parent need to extend your patience and help out in any way possible. Sometimes your child may be shy to ask you questions for fear of being dressed down or scolded. He doesn’t need that from you. By way of helping, you might want to bring home some goodies from Bongbong’s Piaya and Barquillos. He can munch on those with gusto while studying.
A Surmountable Mountain
While studying may sometimes seem to be an insurmountable mountain, it is actually not that hard. You have been there and know how it is. Whatever knowledge you gained, you can pass on to your child. Remember, the first lessons are taught at home and you as a parent is your child’s first teacher. Make your child understand that passing, and even excelling, in his subjects is not hard. He just needs to put in a little more effort into everything. Tell him the best way is to start small, kind of taking baby steps towards a goal. Make him realize that he can remove even the biggest mountain by carting away small stones, one after the other. At the end of the journey, both of you can look back and smile in satisfaction.
Time to Celebrate
The completion of one’s journey calls for a major celebration. In your case, it signals the end of your obligation as a parent to give your child a proper education. For your child, it symbolizes a new beginning for him and the time to take his rightful place in the world. Mark this moment by bringing home a big bag or box of delicious pastry goodies from Bongbong’s. Treat the entire family to the sweetness of ube piaya, the tastiness of biscocho, and yumminess of barquillos. Since scrumptious goodies from the number one bakeshop in Bacolod go well with any beverage, it’s the best celebratory food. They are perfect as desserts too so you can have your triumphant gourmet meal and enjoy Bongbong’s tasty pastries afterward. With Bongbong’s Piaya and Barquillos, the end of your journey and commencement of a new chapter will be meaningful indeed.
