A businesslike and energetic woman, participating equally with men in economic and social life, one who brings beauty and comfort to the world - a collective image of a successful woman of the 21st century. But the main function of a woman is motherhood. This is how nature works. Respect for mothers existed in Ancient Greece. A woman - a mother, despite the harsh demands of the time, is obliged to preserve the eternal feminine charm, the desire for perfection, to be the sweetest in the world.
At a young age, everyone is beautiful!
Try, having gone through life's trials, and no one will escape them, to remain soft, feminine, fit and energetic, with whom it is always good! My heroine today at forty-odd years old looks like a teenage girl: fragile, petite, stylishly cut, fashionably dressed, with bottomless expressive eyes, a charming smile and a wasp waist. Looking at her, it’s hard to believe that you are looking at a mother of five (!) children!
MASHA CHERNOVA was born and raised in Udmurtia. She has only one older sister – such a family can’t be called large. It so happened that little Mashenka was friends with girls from large families. Together they played house. Masha, a preschooler, loved to play with dolls. When she went to school, neighbors and friends began to leave their little ones with her, and Masha really liked it. She grew up responsible, loved children, adored dogs and cats. In addition to comprehensive school, she attended music and art schools, and never missed an opportunity to dance. She read a lot, thinking about the meaning of life, literature was her favorite subject at school. Immediately after graduating from high school, she continued her studies, successfully studying to be a teacher-psychologist at the Udmurt State University. She worked as a psychologist at a gymnasium for one academic year, and then, after getting married, moved to Canada.
All these years, starting in 2003, she has lived in Ottawa, where her husband works. She does not regret the move, she was mentally prepared for it. Modest Maria considers herself an ordinary person, not a mother-heroine. Her motto in life is: ‘’Do what you must, and come what may!’’ This amazing woman is endowed, as it seems to me, with inner wisdom. The classic English writer Daniel Defoe claimed that ‘’the highest degree of human wisdom is the ability to adapt to circumstances and remain calm in the face of external threats’’. The heroine of my essay is not only wise, but also harmonious - it is harmony in the soul that can create happiness even out of nothing.
Life is a path. For some, this path is limited to a trip to the nearest supermarket and back, while for others it is a trip around the world, literally or figuratively. Maria goes through life confidently and with her head held high, having chosen her path consciously and coping with all the challenges of fate. She gives the impression of a person who endlessly radiates goodness. You really want to communicate with such a person. She knows how to find common ground with different people not only because she has a pedagogical and psychological education, but also intuitively. In Canada, Maria does not want to be a housewife - she goes to work, although she has enough household chores. After all, she has five wonderful children (Sofia, Artyom, Lada, twins Timur and Maxim), raising whom takes a huge amount of time, but what a return! The eldest daughter has reached adulthood, is already studying at the university. The youngest sons are first-graders. The children are very different, although they were born and are raised in the same family. Some, for example, are interested in mathematics, while others, on the contrary, are interested in humanities. Despite the variety of hobbies, all five are constantly reading, discussing what they have read together – they are registered in the public library, and often add new books to their home library. Each family member has their own responsibilities around the house, which are clearly distributed and carried out without question. Mutual assistance in the Chernov family not only exists, but dominates. Mom knows how to organize the process so that the children do USEFUL things. According to the principle of teacher Makarenko, she manages to raise children even when she is not at home. Nevertheless, the brothers and sisters try to spend as much time as possible with their parents, with whom it is always interesting. Together they watch feature and animated films, play board games, go to museums, go out into nature; sometimes mom and dad bake cookies and pancakes with the boys (!). The main rule in the family is to speak only Russian at home! And this rule really helps children improve their vocabulary and communication skills in their native language. In short, the parents in the friendly Chernov family know how to spend QUALITY time with their children, conveying to them the truth that love should rule the world, promptly orienting the representatives of the younger generation towards bright thoughts, beautiful dreams, and good deeds. Maria not only successfully resolves all sorts of life situations, she finds time for continuous self-development, which is indispensable. Everyone has their own outlet. For her, making jewelry made of stone. She has loved natural stones since childhood, this love was passed on from her mother. But she tried to make her first beads only about five years ago - it worked! Since then, from time to time, she makes all kinds of beads and bracelets for herself and her loved ones. I am sure that the products created with love are filled with the energy of the manufacturer, and Masha's energy is wonderful!
In May, Canada will celebrate Mother's Day. I really want to congratulate all mothers on the holiday, of course, and Masha. As the poet of the sixties, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, wrote:
‘There are no uninteresting people in the world. Their destinies are like the histories of the planets.
Each one has everything special,
And there are no planets like her!’
Dear mothers! Do not lose your uniqueness, so that your children never doubt WHO is the sweetest in the world.
