A student of the Autonomous University of Sinaloaidentified as Alan Yovani Valle Obeso, gave an emotional speech at the graduation ceremony as a doctor as he dedicated a beautiful message to his parents, which has generated a large number of positive reactions.
Local media such as Línea Directa mention that it was last May 28 when the event took place and that Alan Yovani was chosen to make that presentation because he was the student with the best academic performance of his generation.
It was he himself who shared the video of that moment on his TikTok account with the message: “a few words for my parents, who always supported me and believed in me. My sorrow was their sorrow and today my joy is their joy. They expected so much from me, that I had no choice but to give them everything.”
In the recording the young man mentions: “finally, I say goodbye with these words dedicated to my parents, because without their support I would never have achieved anything that I celebrate today.”
“I remember very well when they asked me to do an order, they always asked me to introduce myself as the baker’s son so that they would recognize me. Father, mother, from today I ask you to introduce yourself as the doctor’s parents. Thank you very much,” he concluded.
The publication generated comments such as: “here crying for the baker’s son and for the parents of the successful doctor”, “I don’t know you, but I am so proud of you”, “only at home do they know how much that title cost, congratulations, doctor “, “I want my son to graduate and say with pride that his father is the mayor.”
The importance of family in academic life
The study titled ‘Family socialization profiles in university students with high academic performance’, published in the magazine Perfiles Educativos of the UNAM, mentions that “the family environment plays a more relevant role than the income level and educational level of the parents in the learning of infants in their first years of life and until primary and secondary education.”
This is because at these ages parents instill: “attitudes and work habits that are of high value at school and that can guarantee good performance for the student.”
The research points out about this responsibility: “the fact that parents consider studies as something valuable and that they develop practices aimed at reinforcing this idea within the family, plays a relevant role in the attitudes that their children assume towards school.” .
In addition, they mention an investigation carried out by Jorge Bartolucci Incico in 1994 in which he carried out a follow-up of a generation of UNAM high school students in which he discovered that: “their school continuity found a strong explanation in the motivation received by their family , where university education was highly valued, without predominance of the social, economic and cultural positions in which young people were located.
