I have learned that success is to be measured
not so much by the position that one has reached in life
as by the obstacles overcome while trying to succeed.
Booker T Washington
(1856–1915)

DDeeaarreesstt MMaammaa,,
Because of your...
Endurance I could bear unbearable hardship
Self-reliance I did not fall into hopelessness
Self-acceptance I appreciate my blessings and my troubles
Resilience I am not defeated by setbacks
Determination I developed a strong will to succeed
Perseverance I never gave up hope
Trustworthiness I value my integrity
Love I conquered insurmountable obstacles
Self-discipline I secured my future
Humility I remember my roots
Helpfulness I value friendship
Backbone I am a man
Steadfastness I could not bear to disappoint you
Vigilance I learnt not to be complacent
Invincibility I acquired inner strength

Modesty I did not get carried away by my successes.
Without the Soulprints that you left me, I
would not have developed the PRAISE life skills
model. I would not have achieved my Break
Through. I would have had a Rough Lifebut no
Rich Life, Red Marksbut no Flying Colours…
