As a Black Mother I need to find a way to strike a balance between being the best mother, the best teacher, and the best role model.
In other to keep sane, there are 5 things I need to be.
1. Be the best Role Model – One of the things I need to do is to be the Best Role Model for my child; a child who does not get the same opportunities as other children in society.
2. Be the best Teacher- If I am not doing it for my family’s sake, then I should do it for my child so that he can grow up to be a strong-will person who is able to handle any situation he finds himself.
3. Be the best Mother- A mother’s job is never done. But what I can do is make sure that my child always feels loved and cared for.
4. Be the first one in and the last one out – This is one of the best things a mother can do to be a role model and set the standard for the work habits needed to achieve success. A mother who sets the tone for her family by putting in the hours to get her work done says a lot about how important her work is. It also sends a message that you should leave your personal life at home and be prepared for your workday when you arrive.
5. You are a mother- You run a household, you have a job, you manage your career, and you also have to raise your children. This is the role of a mother and this is one of the hardest roles to play.
