She wants a better life for her daughter than she had. And she knows education is the only way to ensure it.
Her daughter knows it too. Which is why she wakes up before sunrise to finish all her chores before heading to school.

Such a powerful story told in such few words. Truly amazing.
Wow, you have a way with words.
Touching, truely Glamour
Your posts always make me think. Education that we all take for granted - and sometimes squander - is such a precious commodity for many of the world's female population.
Incredibly powerful, Rayna.
Such a powerful and touching story. =)

ugh. See that made me want to cry. But it's also inspiring. Great stuff, honey~ <3
Natasha - What a powerful and meaningful commentary on the love that a parent can have for a child. What a statement, too, on the strength of the human spirit. Thanks for sharing!
Such a great story with a powerful message—finding beauty/courage/strength in great adversity.
And nice blog!
A mother's love knows no bounds. Beautifully illustrated.
Absolutely incredible. Brought tears to my eyes.
I homeschooled my daughter until only recently and taught her to read myself, when she was a little younger than three. I can't even imagine what mothers the world over go through every day wanting so much more for their daughters than they had.
I felt that in other aspects of her life- but at least I know that she has the building blocks to follow her dreams. So many girls never get the chance.
Thank you for giving their mothers a voice with this piece. Both your blogs are amazing.

Rayna you are really good at drabbles. Great story.
What a wise mother, able to look to the future through her own suffering. But it's so wrong, so, so wrong.
