Educational Success in the Subjective Perspective of Young Adult Mothers

Abstract

Nowadays one of the most spectacular objective of human efforts is to achieve success. Success is associated with fulfillment of one’s own intentions and plans, achievement of high social status, fame, wealth or prestige. Success may be attained in many areas of life aside from professional activity and climbing the career ladder, but also in family life. The latter may seem less spectacular, but it does not mean that it cannot give satisfaction, sense of happiness and gladness. Undoubtedly, one of the key aspects of being successful is parental educational activity. This problem is discussed in the present article, which attempts to look at educational success with the eyes of young adult mothers. The study shows that young mothers associate educational success with the situation when their child is fully independent, grows out to be a valuable individual, is happy and has good relations with his/her parents, which will evolve into the sense of closeness and mutual support in the future.
