My overly hard-headed son is showing interest in hiking and he wants to join the hiking organization of his school. At first I was hesitant to let him go because of the bad grades he is getting. Actually, he only had three passing subjects for the prelim. Then, midterm is going to end soon. I just hope he makes it this time.

Well, we made a deal that if he does well and pass his entire subject for this semester I’ll let him join the semestral break hiking this October. I could see sparks in his eyes when I say that. It’s quite a deal, but if that is the only motivation he needs, I will give in.

To show that I’m supporting him, I already shop around for hiking backpacks. Of course, he really needs a backpack to place all his stuff. He can’t go to the mountains empty-handed. I will try to provide all the things he will need in order for him to feel at ease that I’m serious about my words. Hopefully, he will also try to be serious with his words.
