My Mama’s First Computer Lessons

Nowadays, almost everybody know how to use computers even elementary students now also have their computer lessons in school. People sometimes think that you if you know how to use computers, you will easily adapt to the new gadgets available nowadays.
Before, my mother mentioned in one of our conversations that she really wants to go back in school and that she wants to know how these computers are operated. There was one time in our place where a school was offering short term courses for those who want to learn about computers. Knowing this, my mother told me that she wanted to enroll in that school. Unfortunately, the classes are scheduled every Sunday so it will be a bit difficult for her to attend those classes because she had many things to do in those days. Just to make her feel good, I told her that I will teach her the basic things done in the computer.
Fortunately, I got my computer last December. But I was busy then so I had no time to teach her. This month, I started teaching her. Now, she knew how to turn on and off the computer, and to use Microsoft Word 2007. This image above is her first document saved.

Although I just taught her those basic steps, it really made my mother happy. Sometimes when she has nothing to do, she would open the computer and play the games installed in my computer particularly the game Chuzzle and Text Twist. She told me this line, “Better late than never”.

It’s never too late to learn new things. Congrats Mama!!mwah
