Beautiful Indian Woman in 'Going Back To School' by AkarshanItna on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

I was bad at studies while growing up. I could never understand math, science, history, or any subject for that matter. That's because my mother always told me, this formal education is not for girls. True education of a girl is what she learns at home namely; cooking, cleaning, and other daily chores.

She was right to believe that. My mother taught me enough to be a good wife, a good daughter-in-law and a good mother. But there is a problem. Rules of the time have changed. Now even girls are encouraged to go to school and get a formal education. The problem is when my children ask me a question about science or math I can't answer them. Disappointed they go to their father.

I don't like to see disappointment on their face. They always saw me as a superwoman who had solution to every household problem but ever since they started going school they no longer see me like that. So I have made up my mind.

I have enrolled myself in a program and I am going back to school.
