Influencer Bernice Saroni is beaming with pride after her son Miguel achieved a major academic milestone in the United States, earning induction into the National Honor Society.
Taking to social media on Friday, 13 November, Bernice could barely contain her excitement, announcing her new unofficial title to the world:
“From today, call me mama ya daktari.”
She shared a photo of herself standing beside Miguel outside what appears to be a school building.
Dressed in a brown zip-up top, geometric-patterned brown and beige trousers and knee-high brown boots, Bernice wore a beaming smile that said it all.
Miguel stood beside her in a black sweater over a white collared shirt, khaki trousers and black shoes, his glasses and short curly hair giving him a distinctly scholarly look.
Other students were visible in the background, reinforcing the celebratory academic atmosphere.
In a lengthy and emotional post, Bernice poured her heart out to her son, reflecting on the journey that brought them to this moment.
She praised his discipline, determination and passion for education, telling him directly that he had earned every bit of the honour.
“You worked for it. You earned it. And you deserve every bit of this honor,” she wrote.
The proud mother also reflected on her personal journey, describing herself as having gone “from a young mother to a proud MAMA YA DAKTARI,” adding that only God deserved the credit for how far they had come.
Beyond celebrating the present, Bernice is already dreaming big for Miguel’s future.
She made no secret of her ambitions, declaring Harvard University as the next destination she is believing into existence for her son.
The National Honor Society (NHS) is a US-based high school organisation founded in 1921 to recognise students for academic excellence and good character.
Membership is based on four pillars: scholarship, leadership, service and character, with opportunities including scholarships, leadership training and community service grants.
She rounded off her post with a prayer, asking God to bless Miguel with wisdom, knowledge and favour, and expressing hope that “your name be mentioned in rooms you have never entered, and may doors open for you that no man can shut.”
