Love of my mother
A person who has influenced me in a
significant way is my mother. My mother has made me the individual I am today.
She influences my life in multiple ways, from my education to my personality.
She leads me by example, guiding me in the right direction. Truly, my mother
has a very important effect on my life.
My mother has influenced the way I approach challenges and how I view life. I watched my mother rise above financial hardships, negative relationships, and other life challenges. She has raised me, my three brothers, and two sisters as a single parent. With unyielding determination, she had the courage to return to school. I really look up to her. She serves as my inspiration. Sometimes when I feel stressed and overwhelmed I just think of what my mother has done and realize that my situation is not that difficult. I have a different view of life because of my mother. I feel like anything is possible. She always tells me “The only way you can fail is if you don’t try.” I have followed this advice and accomplished so much because of it. Ultimately, my mother’s accomplishments motivate me to achieve my own accomplishments. Encouragement can take someone very far in every aspect of life. It instills confidence into a person. The confidence I have comes from all of the love and encouragement my mother gives me. She tells me anything is possible and that I can do anything I set my mind to. When I receive an award or an honor, she congratulates me, making me feel happy and proud. She also comforts me when I feel upset and overwhelmed. The love my mother shares with my siblings and me is everlasting. She encourages us everyday to do better; she always says, “Don’t do what I did, do better than me. Be more than what I am.” I was inspired. With those words in mind, I thrived, and continue to today, to make her proud. Overall, my mother makes me who I am today. My values, my personality, my character, my will, my confidence are all results of her raising me. She has dedicated her time to helping me succeed in school and in life. With so much love and compassion, my mother always puts her family before herself. Truly, my mother is undoubtedly the most amazing person that is in my life. Her values influence my values and the things that are most important to me. She’s my role model, my inspiration, and my foundation. My mom is my best friend forever and when I say that I mean it. She’s always been there for me and she always will. There are other people who have influenced me in a significant way. However, my mother impacts me a special level. I am absolutely sure that I would not be the person I am proud to be today if my mother was not apart of my life. |
