“Jasmine, you are not going to school to play but to learn.”
This was my mom’s favorite sentence. She wouldn’t dare let a day go by before she said it. In the beginning I never knew the impact it would have on my life. I used to think it was just something my mom would say every morning not realizing that she had planted a seed. That seed took root and sprouted out into a massive wealth of knowledge. It has carried me from pre-school up to now. Looking back, it was so easy for me to play around and succumb to peer pressure, but I’m glad I decided to listen to my mama instead.
