I dedicate my drawing to all of you International Students at UEA. I find my life as a student can be a very stressful one, especially when all the deadlines just come across in the same period of time. Nevertheless, all should be paid off at the end. Pay all your efforts of this spring and live to your fullest and make you life colourful. Challenge your mind everyday.

Mothers hold the power that can give the world’s greatest gift, a gift that brings you and I together, the gift of life. Raising a child is not an easy job; it is not a 9-5 shift so we definitely need more than one day to give our precious mothers flowers and gifts. Mother’s day however helps us take time out of our busy schedule to show those who are truly important how much we love and appreciate them. Our mothers have been there right from when we were born, gave us our first meal, encouraged us to take our first steps, cared for us during both good and bad times, put us before themselves when we were children, were there at our beck and call and scolded us when we were going out of focus just to make sure we turn out our best. None of us would be where we are today if not for our mothers who birthed us and helped us walk along the earth. Mothers are irreplaceable and this special day in the month of March gives us another chance to remind our selfless, incredible, amazing, beau...
