- Mom, well, I decided. I want to do at the Department of hospitality management in College, as if casually said to me yesterday daughter Svetlana on the way home.
I am in surprise and joy even in the brake rested.
- Opacki! Well Done, Light! And even the picture is already present? I asked.
"Yeah.
She closed her eyes, threw her head back dreamy and continued:
I, slender, skinny (she is now with me I have), high heels, elegant suit greet important guests in the lobby. I am the owner of some upscale hotel. Speak all languages. And I have the hotel has two presidential suites: one can settle some President of some country, and the best is always ready to meet you, to be a popular writer. You're constantly on tour!
- Wow! So you and me namatala?! - laugh.
- Well, Yes. All, as you taught. I presented.
And two years ago was a different story. With the same participants. Just lucky I was in the car from the orphanage unfamiliar twelve-year-old girl who became my daughter at the behest of fate or God. We were not familiar, and yet kilometer posts counted from one to three hundred, to talk about something was needed. And I said, "Light, what did you dream of becoming when they grow up"?
"I don't dream. As it will be, so be it. I don't like and what you like, I never will, " said she hadn't so doomed, and indifferent and mockingly. - What am I, stupid am I to dream? Maybe abroad leave, marry a rich foreigner will come, maybe...
In a plastic bag-the bag she was carrying their belongings during these years the property: the school diary and personal, a picture frame and a letter from my mother from prison, in which she asked her for money.
School diary were Packed good and excellent grades, that I am pleased. Long. From the first days in the Metropolitan school these estimates were gradually move out and take down, until he became a real "satisfactory" and even below.
The picture became clear - my child is behind all peers in almost all subjects. And this is not the first class, and the second half of the seventh.
So you presented an objective picture, will only give a couple of examples.
- Furthermore, a look that hour! "please, fussing in the kitchen. Daughter peeping at his watch and says nothing. My question is why, answers that such a clock, with the usual dial and arrows, does not understand. Known only electronic that hung in the lobby of the shelter.
To parse a sentence into parts of speech, had to start with what a noun, verb, adjective. About adverbs and other nonsense generally silent.
And began... We took in the school library textbooks in all subjects for all years. Every day together doing homework: the husband was in charge of the exact Sciences, I - languages, son (same age as her daughter) - history.
Many things have happened: tearing out the leaves from the diary and tears, "And we didn't ask" and the tears, fainting during control and tears, cheating in a neighbor's lost notebook, rudeness, nervousness, apathy and depression, and all - tears, tears, tears... And her, and even sometimes our.
I couldn't explain why why you need to study well. Wasn't able to understand that the main thing - not even the main thing is to understand, and why you need it.
And then one day the Light asked whether ordinary janitor to earn so that life was missing.
It was a turning point. I realized: this is the most important thing - my child does not know how to dream!
The whole thing just for this. This explains the indifference in learning something new, fear of any activity, lack of understanding of how this brother is the same age as their own free will gets behind the lessons, reads something additional to sneak out at night looking on the Internet. Why is upset because of bad grades than him so interesting story, why banging on drums to the blood on his hands, why now flipping guide for applicants to universities.
Homework we have done in several steps:
- read the task and the exercise or task;
- closed the textbook and, realizing what was going on, told this job, explained what needed to be done;
- said the rule, which is based on this task, if necessary, has found this rule in this tutorial or previous year;
- did or tried to do it all yourself;
- checked helped to make;
now by analogy made another, very similar to uchenicheskoe, invented by us, the assignment;
- independently invented a similar job.
Of course, as you can guess, the lessons we then went all night, sometimes until midnight sat up. But in school daughter was in a good mood and wasn't afraid, what can cause and control waited with interest, and with no less - of their results.
If something is not understood, after the lesson, not being afraid to look stupid, stuck to the teacher with a request to explain once again. She wanted and signed up for additional classes and various electives.
In General, in order long you not to torment examples of "perestroika", I would say the main thing is that by the end of the year the daughter at the parent meeting has been called one of the best students in the class, all the teachers noted the extraordinary zeal and dedication. This year, she is one of the three best students of performance and activity in the life of the class.
Whence she had this zeal, this desire?! Not simple as conscientiousness or suddenly suddenly, out of nothing enthusiasm. No, of course not. Changes in consciousness appeared after a heart-to-heart talk about what people should dream.
If there are no dreams and no future.
We, for example, reached "the Secret" by Rhonda Byrne. Reviewed briefly, talked, looked carefully - talked, discussed. Looked again, constantly pressing "pause", already discussed, debated, and examples from his own life was nbsphowever, proving that the thought - material, and without dreams man slowly dies.
And so we decided that we need to dream about the very cherished, that now seems unreal. And do everything to reach the highest steps to try in each case, for which you undertake, be the first to not be the last, at least.
The daughter herself came to the conclusion and was surprised evidence - if you dream to become a cashier or Secretary, then only the cashier and Secretary, and can become.
And we became from this point of view to get close to your dream and to think about where to go after a successful (! ) graduation: hairdressers (the highest category), accountants do (supercalifragi) or...
So, why are you still chose the faculty of hospitality management? ask out of curiosity, this area we are somehow not discussed.
And get the answer literally:
- First of all, this profession will always be in demand;
Secondly, knowing the basics and not only will I be able to work in this field in any country of the world;
- Thirdly, it requires the knowledge of foreign languages and accounting, and both I like (Oh, it's already like that?! );
"Well, I like to communicate with people, to be successful, to decorate, to invent new things, to travel;
I now need to try to finish well this year and attempt to College to do it, then the University will get easier;
and so on, so forth...
The way home she talked about their plans, as that is sure to be in her life.
And it is sure to be - we want it!
As homework, the whole family we're not doing daughter learns with pleasure, quietly, began to read a lot. And parent meetings now - a very pleasant event in the family.
"I, slim, beautiful, high heels, elegant suit greet important guests in the lobby. I am the owner of a five star hotel on the ocean"...
