A Student and a Parent? Possible ;)

What is it like to be a mom and dad? And what is it like to be a student? Both questions might be a real challenge, but let's make it even more complicated. What is it like to be a student and a parent at the same time? That sounds like a very serious challenge. Balancing the necessity to attend classes and meetings, do assignments, and write papers with the necessity to feed, walk, play and take a very good care of your kid 24/7 might be next to impossible. 
But it is not, if you live on campus surrounded by multitude of caring friends eager to help you out with the baby. Tiko and Tazo, a married couple of students, know this better than anyone else. Because their little daughter Nita is the beloved kid on campus. Every day you can see the girl surrounded by smiling faces and fascinated young people. While her parents are away, Nita is taken care of by the united Georgian community. The loving "nannies" take the girl for a walk, play with her and make sure the baby is safe and sound.

However, Nita's magic knows no nations, and AUBG students from different countries stay no less fascinated by the girl than the students from Georgia. As the baby's mother Tiko admits it is not always easy to take care of the kid, while you are still a student. But living on campus is makes it much more feasible, because there are always dear friends ready to help out.

  2. This kid is just beyond adorable. The very fact that Tazo and Tiko can manage academics and parenthood fascinates me. I can only imagine how difficult it can be sometimes. What I see is how much they love Nita and how much they love each other and this is the greatest wonder of all. Great job to their friends who can lend a hand in case of difficulties. This is a real life case that is just inspiring and invigorating.
