Comparison Of My Mother

​Parents are one of the most beautiful things that could happen to anyone. They are always there by your side no matter what; they always want the best for their children. They can be strict and protective, its because they love their kids and they don’t want them to get hurt. My parents are special to me because with all the hard time that they had to have me and my siblings in their life they still fought for us and didn’t give up, even after 17 years of trying. But for me? The greatest of all is my mom. She is the one that I look up too. She is the greatest of all. Simple, funny, strict, protective, but yet she is the best.

As an eight year old kid in the 80’s I remember watching the movie Popeye by Robin Williams. “I yam what I yam, and that’s all that I yam.” I sang this tune in my head and out loud over and over again. I even added lyrics to suit me., “I’ll be want I want to be, I am what I yam.” It may be my first attempt at being true to myself, a self-identification, a personal statement and a compass of sorts

As you can see Nature vs. Nurture has a big role in my life, it’s how I was developed and how I live my life. To the family I was born with and who I grew up with to the media and my schools I’ve been

When we look at the science of human development, the main consideration is how people change over time. In the age old question of nature versus nurture, there are some that believe the characteristics and traits within us are innate, meaning we are born with them. Still others feel that nurturing, our environmental influences like friends, community, schools, media and even parents affect who we are. This is a false dichotomy, it is not which-but how much of each because both play crucial roles in our development (Berger 2015).

Nelson Mandela once said, “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.’’ My mother was that “brave man” who didn’t let fears get in her way. She taught me to become a strong women and have courage in your life. She was the one who educated me to lead a successful journey. Now, here I am telling the story of how my mother influenced me to become the young women I am today.

Whenever I think of my mother, I form a vivid image of what she’s like. She’s a woman of great size and blond hair with a degree in psychology, and possesses distinctive qualities that are not found in ordinary women. Whenever I think of her, various childhood memories flood my mind, the most prominent being when I

The nature vs nurture debate is one that naturalists and empiricists love to have. The naturalists are on the nature side of the debate; they believe that a person's development is primarily influenced by their genetic traits. The empiricists, on the other hand, side with the nurture part of the debate; they believed that a person's development is mostly influenced by the environment they are raised in. Most modern psychologist, however, don’t take such radical approaches. They instead accept that a person’s development is influenced by a mixture of both nature and nurture, although there is still debate over which plays a larger role (McLeod). In my life, both nature and nurture have played key roles in my development as a person and who I

After reading the short story, it seemed like the story is a to-do list and how-to-do list containing one sentence of a 650 word dialogue. I believe Kincaid did this to display the mother’s accomplishments of wisdom and power towards her daughter. The story is told in second person featuring what the girl hears from her mother. During the story, her mother's voice sounds somewhat condescending and critical when speaking, suggesting that the girl is likely to become a "slut." For example, in the short story, the mother states, "on Sundays try to walk like a lady and not like the slut you are so bent on becoming” (229). The mother is trying to pass down certain beliefs of the mother through her culture to her daughter. Her mother wants her to

From a biological perspective, nature vs. nurture plays a critical role in the development of an individual. Meaney (2010) states “The challenge within developmental psychology is that of understanding the operation of the genome and how the analysis of nucleotide-based variation can contribute to our understanding of individual differences in brain development and function at the level of cell biology, physiology, and emotional- cognitive states.” (p 45) Looking at the way genes play a role in personal development, it may become difficult to determine where physiology ends and influence from the environment begins. I believe that my genes and my environment have contributed in the development of who I am.

“Your physical features can be identified as identical to that of your parents, like your eyes from your father and that hair colour from your mother but the environment where you grew up may have a lasting effect or influence on the way you talk, behave and respond to the things around you.” (Explorable, 2015)

The person, place, or event that had the strongest impact on me is my Mom. My mom as always been there when I need her, she always help me in every. My mom always tell me and my sister that education is the most important thing that u need in order to be successful in life. The person that I am today is the way my mom has e been teaching me because she told to respect and treat other the way you what to be treated. She always been there when I need her. My uncles are also there because they talk about what I should and should not do.

The first similarity that my mother and I had was that I work hard. It’s good that she can tell. Both of us said that I don’t ask questions and I don’t. I could try asking more questions, but honestly talking

The quote from the bestselling author, Malcolm Gladwell, “Our first impressions are generated by our experiences and our environment, which means that we can change our first impressions... by changing the experiences that comprise those impressions.” effectively denounces the idea that our entire life is dictated by what is prewired into us at the stage of meiosis. Furthermore, while I recognize the importance of nature, I believe that nurture is more significant in human development due my personal experiences. For instance, despite coming from a loud, boisterous family, I have always surrounded myself with friends who are quiet and timid. This has influenced me into becoming an introvert myself. Similarly, as a child, unlike my brother, I never had any natural talent in soccer; in fact, I might have been the worst player on my team. However, with hard work and determination, I began to excel at the sport, thus proving that even genes can’t defy the power of practice. In the end, though genes may play some part in our personalities and talents, they cannot hold us back from achieving anything we truly strive

It took me eighteen years to spend some quality time with my mother and discover what an incredible journey she has had with my brothers and me. She is the kind of person who has always been very involved with all parts of our daily lives. In fact, she was the kind of mother who always had time for her three sons, worked full-time and had time to devote to community projects too. Her energy and enthusiasm for all of these things seemed endless and she always tried to teach the three of us to see the value in the idea of giving back to the community. I was always glad that she was present at my games and supported me through school, but it took me over a decade to learn what motivated her to be so

A mother is someone who can take the place of all others but no one can take the place of her. There are many different definitions you could use to describe your mother. My mother, Pam Krull, fits every one of those. Today I decided to pick the three that I thought was most important to me. I admire and aspire to be like my mother because of how supportive, how selfless, and how loving she is.
