My son loves basketball. He has so much information about the players and the games in the NBA, PBA, PBL, UAAP & NCAA that sometimes it leaves me in awe. I’ve installed small bball courts in every place that he frequents: my office (the court is more for me :)), our condo and his grandparents place in Tarlac. Almost every Sunday, we shoot some hoops at his fave Timezone.
Last Sunday Sept 16, we got his first quarter grades and as good as he is in shooting hoops, he has a general average rating of 93.50 which is good for rank number 2. He has high grades in Math 97, Reading 95, Filipino 93 and Language 93. He needs to work on Sibika 92 and Science 91. He always talks abt being challenged by the rank number 1 in their class of 45 students that’s why he aims to study harder. We told him that if he wants to make it his personal goal, then he should work harder to attain it but his parents are already happy with his academic achievements.
We always tell him that it’s better to live a balanced life: good in academics (not necessary topping it always), engaged in a sport (of which basketball is the clear choice), exposure to technology (he surfs the internet and his favorite site is Time For Kids), critical thinking (that’s why he loves devouring information and sometimes engaging his parents to mini debates) and the religious aspect (he recently joined the Knights of the Altar).
My Hats off to you B5!
