Dear Parents / Guardians,
When a child is born, then at the same time a parent is also born. It’s the first time that we have this new identity of our own as a parent, a new personality which is invited upon us through a new calling. This is what we call parenthood. It’s the first time that, despite spending only seconds with this new being, we are willing to make sacrifices without thinking twice. This new life becomes an inseparable part of ourselves as everything takes on a whole new meaning in the ways we think, act and speak. That’s the reason why mothers are always devoted to their duty – always being close, always being present, always being MOM & DAD.
As we celebrated the occasion of UAE Mother’s Day in March, we are especially reminded of the instrumental role played by parents, especially mothers, in a child’s developmental journey.
May we always be thankful to our own parents for the gifts of life and love bestowed upon us, appreciating the special bond between parent and child that remains unchanged by time or distance—the purest of love, unconditional and true.
Mrs. Xenia Giannaki
Headmistress
