Aya's Last Day Of School Year: Bittersweet Milestone Of Her All Achievements.

Yesterday marked my daughter Aya's last day of school for the year. As I write my blog I’m still processing my feelings.

From the day we came to Slovakia, living in this country and language is so difficult. Not even our native language, at first I'm afraid of how she can communicate. Encouraging her to practice and with the help for her teachers I'm so grateful. I witnessed my daughter Aya grow into a remarkable person. Aya’s growth and development transformation has been amazing. To celebrate her progress and achievements was beyond happiness. And I'm so proud of her improvement.

I’ve seen her communicate with friends, classmates, teachers, and even help me. I need her help to translate things when I need a little guidance. With the love, support, right guidance and environment I see her bloom. In their classroom, there was laughter, a bit of chaos but a happy one. We all know kids are kids and a touching moment when each of them was called up to receive their certificates.

As I watched my daughter Aya stand in front of the class and proudly holding her certificate with her bright smile. A deep sense of pride, joy and wonder filled within me.

I'm so so proud of her. She even came so far. From her first school centest to represent their school for Smart Kids English. She won gold awardee in a city wide competition. I didn’t expect it. All I want for her is to experience joining the contest and know the value of sportsmanship and hardwork.

Her hard work and determination paid off. Aside from academics, she also joined the dance, singing and beginner piano lessons. Her recital went so fantastic. To see all her efforts made my heart so full with happiness and pride. To see her standing tall on stage by dancing in rhythm, and singing with joy was a moment that felt like magic. Aya's stage presence was a testament to her growth and confidence.

As a mother, moments like these are to our hearts. I've also realized that being a mom isn't just guiding my daughter. It is also growing with them.

New things she learns and I learn too. It's a balance between the desire to protect with the need to let go. She is no longer my baby I hold in my arms and now she is her own person. She is strong, full of potential and confident. I'm thinking how time flies so so fast. And more milestones for her in the coming years. And I know also she will face new challenges, new wins and stumbles too. And it's a part of her growth.

Motherhood is a journey of letting go from yesterday and holding on new happiness and challenges for tomorrow.

It's the last hurrah yesterday and I am a very proud mama here. Your milestones is my greatest achievements in life as your mom. Thank you for the challenges this school year that makes your strong. And another step of your beautiful journey will come. God Bless you always my Aya. I love you so much.
