Not a Quitter

Four out of the five school days last week, my son had been extra, uhm, playful and talkative in school, so much so that his name was always in the "Noisy Boys" list. This week, he vowed to change that. Well, he didn't exactly succeed last Monday. But yesterday, he finally did. His name was finally off the list and, as if to reward him for his valiant efforts, his team also won the math contest, which in turn earned for him another star for their Star Quest contest. Haha! When he got home, he called me up in the office and said, "Mama, what did i tell you? Di ba i told you i would not stop trying? Well, today, i wasn't noisy! Told you i am not a quitter!"
