If I should have a son / daughter: Students' writing

Quotes from students' essays:


"He will fall in love, he will be rejected, he will make mistakes. He will make me cry of joy and of sadness.
I will teach him, and love him. There will be times when I will be angry at him.  I'll need to be tough. I'll play the 'bad cop'.
He will be silly, a nerd, or maybe a heartbreaker, who knows?
Maybe he'll get cancer, or somebody will want to  kill my baby. So a mother's job is not a game." (by Ana Sofia, Class 13)

"If I should have a daughter, I'm going to give her a necklace with wings, so that she can remember that she'll always have me, and that I will be her guardian angel." 
(by Tiago Dionísio, Class 8)

"When I have a son, I will tell him everything I know about life and that it isn't easy. I will tell him that there will be more moments of pain and suffering than of joy, but that I will be always there for him, through good times and hard times. I'll tell him that I won't always be able to protect him and that he is going to make his own choices." (by Tiago samuel, Class 8)

"If I should have a daughter, I will prepare her for life, because life is hard. I need to teach her how precious life is, and I'll teach her to respect everyone. " (by Rúben Correia, Class 8)
