Go The Distance by Michael Bolton

During the Recognition Day of my eldest, there was this portion that all the awardees from Grades 1-5 sang a special song. It was entitled “Go The Distance” by Michael Bolton.

I accompanied her during the 2 day practice at school and watched every step of their practice. On the portion for the group to sing the song it came just very natural that as if I was just listening to an ordinary presentation. But during the special day when all the awardees lined up on stage, wearing their medals and sang the song twice there’s this mix emotions of happiness, proud and hope. I am almost carried away with the performance and almost cried while taking the pictures.

Seeing those kids reaping the fruits of their labor, being my daughter as part of them, gave me more strength and inspiration to do my best in helping my kids achieve their dreams. The emotional and quiet part of the ceremony where teachers and parents were all eyes on those outstanding students rendering this very meaningful and encouraging song of Mr. Bolton.

To my daughter, my hearty congratulations and keep up the good work. Always remember this, in reaching your dreams a big hindrance lies to yourself. You will reap what you sow and you still have a long way to go to get on the finish line. Love yourself and study hard. I want that if the finish line is there to reap the fruits of your labor there is complete happiness in your heart and you will be proud of yourself for what you have achieve and do for yourself. Our love and prayers will always be with you. ♥♥♥
