This is a kind of question that can be answered in different aspects and walk of life. A simple question but yet difficult to answer.
In response to @spf-cebu's contest, let me introduce the woman twho express the importance of being.
She is Marivic Loplop Canada, 53 years old. Born in Talisayan, Misamis Oriental, Mindanao, Philippines. A loving wife to her husband and a supportive mother to her three (3) children. She is a teacher who teaches elementary level in a school run by the government. She raised the education of her 3 children alone because her husband was partially disabled and unable to work.
Although she was a teacher, her salary is not enough for the entire family. It's hard to imagine that in reality, the teachers in the Philippines who are shaping the future of the young ones are underpaid. Life difficulties are not the hindrance for a mother who's willing to fight for the future of her children. All she did was to provide for her family's needs along with other people's disdain.
In a noble manner, she made food for sale at the school's canteen. He does not care about what other people have to say, what she has in mind is to provide the daily necessities of the family.
Every day she makes Graham Ball's (sweet snack made of crush crackers with sweetened milk coated with desiccated coconut)
Ingredients:
-2 x 200 g chocolate biscuits
-1/2 cup condensed milk
-1/4 cup milk fresh
-1 cup desiccated coconut
Procedure 1. Process the biscuits in a food processor or crush until crumbly. 2. Add condensed milk and fresh milk and mix. 3. Roll mixture into balls and dip in dessicated coconut.
NOTE:
You can also use cookies and cream biscuits. Use less condensed milk if desired, just add more fresh milk. Be careful not to put too much milk in otherwise the mixture will become soft and hard to form into a ball. Alternatively you can put them in small patty pans and sprinkle the desiccated coconut on top.
She also make Mango Ice Candy . I'll share you the recipe that is quite easy and economical.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and mashed
- 1½ cups evaporated or fresh milk
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup refined sugar
- 15 pcs. Ice candy cellophane “Ice Candy wrapper”
Wash, peel and mash mangoes and place on a deep bowl.
Add all remaining ingredients in a bowl, stir well until sugar dissolves.
Prepare your ice candy wrapper, funnel, and a ladle.
Insert the tip of the funnel in cellophane and hold tight.
Ladle mango mixture into the cellophane leaving at least 2 inches for sealing.
Twist the cellophane to seal the mixture and knot tightly.
Repeat the same procedure until all wrapped.
Freeze ice candy overnight before serving.
She's so dear to her students and motherly to her co-teachers, though there are people who make her little there are also who admire her passion for teaching and incomparable love for her family.
I saw how much she treats herself to save. Along with her efforts and dreams for her children's education, he endured the hardships and humiliation of the people. She never felt tired of her day-to-day work because she knew that later on her sacrifice will pay off.
Every personal who knew her story celebrate her session. Her three children are all license profession teachers now and doing great excellence in their field. She proved to one and all that through sacrifice, great love and strong faith can move mountains.
Well, I bet you wonder how I knew all about this. Simply because I am her proud daughter. Now, it is our time mama to repay your effort and sacrifice.
My word for those people mock at my mother
"Vow down mortals!"
Now, we can answer the question "What does it mean to be a woman?"
Being a woman is both challenging and amazing. A woman has a heart for humanity, a selfless act of love and the sacrifice for the betterment of others make a woman stand out.
"Through sacrifice, great love and strong faith can move mountains. "
