The Person in Front, the Person Who Supports

To Myazu,

Good morning!

My mother's younger sister, Sei-chan, has recently started working as a web designer while holding a nursing license.

Nursing is a noble profession, but because she wanted to cherish time with her children and work from home, she learned web design at an online school and took a new step forward.

Lately, her work has been increasing, and she is working hard in earnest.

When you become a sole proprietor, it's not just about creating designs; you have to go to networking events to get work, issue invoices, communicate with clients...

She says there is really so much to do.

That's why she mentioned that it would be helpful if there were someone to whom she could delegate part of the design work or who could help with administrative tasks.

Hearing that, my mother was struck by a realization.

My mother has always preferred the role of supporting someone else rather than standing in front and leading.

Creating invoices, managing household finances, organizing business cards—doing detailed work steadily is surprisingly not a burden for her.

But until now,

"Anyone can do things like that."

"It's not a special talent."

Thinking that way, she felt depressed, believing she had nothing to offer.

However, after hearing Sei-chan's story, she realized something.

For someone to be active in the front, someone is also needed to support them from behind.

Supporting is also an important job.

My mother thought it would be wonderful if she could become that kind of unsung hero.

My mother will do what she can do.

From Mom
