“My Mom Is My Everything” was Metro.Style’s theme used last year for its poster making contest that would pay tribute to all mothers and mother figures on the special occasion of Mother's Day. The contest invited young participants to join where they could show their love and appreciation for their mothers. It was my niece’s first exposure to an art contest outside school. I knew from the start that such experience would become a significant part of her life from where she can draw out the motivation to trust her creativity. Though my niece’s artwork did not make it to the grand prize, to be chosen as one of the Top 10 finalists was more than enough to be joyful and thankful. Happy Mother's Day!
