Hamza Ouaddi, 19, Tamesna. In this era of time, not everyone still knows the real definition of word “appreciation”, and that what lacks humanity in general, and appreciation can be toward so many things and persons, in the 8th of March we people and in all over the globe, we celebrate Women’s day, but what we really should know that women should be celebrated and appreciated every single day of our lives. My god blessed me with a wonderful lady that took the responsibility and the mission of being my mother, she was born and raised in the country side, so she was going through everything but comfortable circumstances, from what she was telling me that my grandfather used to charge her with hard tasks in farming and taking care of cows and sheep, and he would beat her if she failed to do something of what he asked , my grandmother did not have many choices in front of the anger of my grandfather, so she couldn’t do much about my mother , so when my mum turned fifteen years old, my father in somehow proposed and she said “YES” , she was in love with him even though she was still young , but those hard circumstances would turn anybody into a mature human being , but she loved him and maybe saw it as her way out of that misery. After that and within two years of marriage, she gave birth to me, and she was only seventeen when she had me in her arms, she told me that she had no idea of how to diaper me or how to properly feed me, because she was away of her home, and my father had to work in another city so she was by herself with my aunt who was younger than her, so she was almost not counted as a big help, and things were a bit hard with shortage of money and poor conditions my parents we’re suffering from. She could have left me somewhere in a train station or maybe in a driveway of a fancy villa, or easily she could have gotten rid of me in her first month, but guess what? this lady was the best example of a WOMAN and stayed by my side all the time and fought side to side with my father and they made it out of that hard position into a great family,
