State exam prep in the kid’s room

It’s crazy that I’m already writing about this, but next month I have my final exam at university!! Of course, life goes on as usual, and as a working mom, I couldn’t wish for more than to be at home, in a loving environment, with a sweet little face guiding me toward the right answers for the exam questions.

But in my family, things don’t happen quite like that—my dear son can hardly wait for me to make mistakes so he can flood me with the correct answers, like, “What do you mean Mom still doesn’t know this, when you have an exam soon?!” So, there’s no way around it—I have to roll up my sleeves and dive into the written, practical, and oral materials so I can nail everything at the state exam—otherwise, woe is me…!

Welcome to our little virtual corner! I’m a single mother raising my wonderful son, Ruben, who has grown into a remarkable teenager. For years, I was the sole breadwinner as a Krav Maga instructor, balancing the challenges of parenthood and work on my own. When Ruben started kindergarten, I embarked on a new journey by studying healthcare management at Semmelweis University, specializing in health tourism management. After graduating, I began working in my field and experienced firsthand the tragic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic while serving as a healthcare manager in a state hospital. As the pandemic subsided, I transitioned into private healthcare, where I currently work as a practice manager. Meanwhile, our family moved from a small town to Vác, a charming historic Danube riverside city near Budapest. Here, we embrace the everyday moments and joys of life together. If you want to hear more stories about us, you’re warmly invited to visit the original Daysonpaper blog at S&Ru’s Diary on daysonpaper.blog.hu. So I decided to try living for a year on an international stage and see if there are other mothers in similar shoes for whom this diary could be a support on the harder days—just as it has been a support for me when I was able to look beyond the difficulties and sincerely believe in my own strength. Thank you for stopping by!
