One of the nurses son, Jason Perez, has been working on a project revolving his mother's trial and the racism that existed around it.

I don't disagree — in fact, I wrote an article in Ms. magazine saying much the same thing: http://www.msmagazine.com/winter2010/asianleaders.asp. That said, I still stand by my position that, despite the good she DID do, she ultimately didn't fully live up to the demands of People Power. Hi Joel.

Being a president after Marcos was hard. We had a lot of problems and she was inexperienced. But she still kept her promise of being honest and humble in public, which were the traits that led her to the presidency. She tried her best and she never gave up in helping the Philippines rise from a disastrous dictatorship. Her family sacrificed a lot for the Filipino people. They sacrificed their personal lives. Cory did not want to be in the limelight, yet she sacrificed her privacy for the sake of the Filipino people. So don't you dare say that she did nothing. Don't dare say she failed because she tried her best and never gave up. Only in giving up do we really fail. Hello Ms. Catherine,

]]> Comment on Thoughts on Working Moms by Holly http://catherine-a-traywick.com/2011/01/11/thoughts-on-working-moms/#comment-1119 Holly Wed, 12 Jan 2011 20:22:11 +0000 http://catherine-a-traywick.com/?p=1030#comment-1119 My mum stayed was a stay at home mum for about 14 years, she went back to work when I was 11. I genuinely do feel like I benefitted from it. Maybe it was just the security of knowing that my mum was always there for me as a young child. This has been something that has always bothered me when thinking about having my own children, I absolutely do not want to give up a career and stay at home, but I feel like I should give my children the childhood I had. After thinking about this article, I've reconsidered. Maybe it wasn't just the fact that my mum was at home, but the fact that she genuinely wanted to be. I think caring was always her vocation, whether for her own children or professionally. Since going back to work she has spent the vast majority of her time caring for the elderly and disabled. I think she has derived a huge amount of fulfilment from it, that she didn't get from the work she did before having children. Personally, I don't think I would feel the same and perhaps, like you Catherine, my children would pick up on that. Maybe the lesson is, if you can do whichever you're happiest with and your children will be happier. My mum stayed was a stay at home mum for about 14 years, she went back to work when I was 11.
