I used to hate my mother because she worked a lot and didn't spend much time with me.Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers.That weekend changedmy life,
About 100 other teenagers were there~During the first two days I met a lot of great people.I was glad that I made so many friends there.
On Sunday,the leader did an interesting exercise called "Chocolate or Toys".He asked a girl which she liked better,chocolate or toys,She chose chocolate.Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate.Of course,she didn't have a choice.
This exercise told us that sometimes we don't have a choice in life,and that sometimes we have to accept something,rather than complain.
A girl stood up and started talking about how her momwas a drug addict and how much she hated her mother.
" I want a new mom," she cried
"Sadiy,you can't have one,"the leader replied.
"You have to accept the mother that you have."
This hit me hard.I realized that,for better or worse,my mom was my mom.I couldn't choose another mom,but I could try to make the best of the situation.
