昼、末っ子である篤人が合格発表を見に行った。
兄の祐希が付き添った。
私は、東京からの彼の電話を待つ。
もし落ちたら？息子はどうなる？
電話を待つ私は、親としても緊張の瞬間だ。
携帯が鳴った。
泣きながら震えた彼の声
「合格しましたぁぁぁ。ありがとうぇんうぇんー」
一年間の浪人生活、彼は良く耐えたと思う。
受験勉強の知らない私が言うのは可笑しいが
社会が子供に与えている重圧は何なのか？
考えさせられた時でもあった。
My last son Atsuhito went to Tokyo with his brothe Yuki and check his test result.
I waited his call in Kanazawa.
If it falled ? I was worried about him.
it is a moment of strain for father.
And then my mobile was sounded.
His voice was trembled with cried.
However he said “it passed. Thank you father”
I think he has discipline for one year after he failed last year test.
But I ask by myself what is the reason which society has given tough experience to the present child?
It was also my time of thought.
