They call her 'supermom'

Her co-workers call her 'supermom'. Sheryll Gray-Chung is personal assistant to LIME 's chairman, Chris Dehring, a mother of 15, 13 and six-year-old [color:2280=blue !important][color:2280=blue !important]children, and a parent-teachers association president."I never thought of myself as a supermom. Having a very demanding job and at the same time playing a pivotal role in my children's academic and social development, as well as finding time to be integrally involved in school activities and affairs, may be cited as attributes of a supermom," she admitted, humbly.
But being a Jane of all the trades in her life is not always easy. "It's a bit challenging at times," she confessed, adding, "At all times, I try to strike the balance by ensuring that these volatile elements - career and family - are stable. This is done by ensuring that adequate amounts of each element is poured into the flask of life to produce a wonderful elixir."
But she stresses the importance of a good support system to make it all possible. "A family-and-friends support structure has helped me in finding the middle ground. Knowing that there are persons I can call on at the last minute to do a pickup or drop-off helps immensely."
While she said that there is no single formula for balancing a career and motherhood, she identified flexibility as a key ingredient. "We have to be conscious that with children things change at a moment's notice. There is definitely the need for a good support structure - friends and family. Also, always be ready to assume responsibilities for any other tasks that need to get done at any time. We also have to realise that in order to be successful, sometimes we have to give up original goals," she advised.
In the end, for Gray-Chung giving up original goals is worth it to see her children develop, since she knows that they are going to make a significant mark in the world.
