As we know (well, some won't know about this), there are a number of Inuit girls and ladies that are mothers. Some of them don't get to finish high school or some of them finish high school and don't continue off to college. As I know most of the moms, they are kind of "stuck" somewhere and maybe have lost their hope. However, For this blog, I just wanted to inspire the young moms up there by sharing a photo of one of the moms who goes to John Abbott College.
There are a number of Inuit moms that are studying at John Abbott. Pauyungie, my super star for this blog, is one of them. Since I came to college, I've learned many things about her. She is a mother of two young boys (3 and 7 years of age). Her program is Theatre which is really interesting. She juggles with school and her children, which can get pretty hard. It might not be an easy life, but by watching Pauyungie stand tall, she becomes one of the very good role models.
For all the young Inuit parents out there, you guys can still have hope and apply for college in the future. There is all the help you could need!
A very encouraging entry Sapina! And you're so right in saying that Pauyungie is an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sapina for putting a mother who's going through school in your blog. I hope it will help other mothers to encourage them to go back to school. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Sapina,
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting the way you approach this delicate issue on the difficulties mothers find in continuing their college studies. These women really deserve to be stimulated in their efforts to pursue a career. I am a mom and I know how much it is difficult to conciliate maternal activities and work, studies and leisure.
Congratulations! Kisses.
