We all have a Mother
Mothers, we all have one and the issues that go with them. A mother's influence can be one of the greatest during a child's life. The influence can reach the man who lays dying on the battlefield crying out for his mother. What is it about my mother that would make me call out to her as I lay on the battlefield taking my last breath? My mother's personality is one that can go from one extreme to the other; sometimes in the same breath. I can describe her physically in her present moment but it seems no matter how much she has changed or aged through the years, she remains in the present for my past memories. She is of average short height with, mostly greying, short black hair. Mom is heavy and has fought her weight for as long as I can remember. Her smile can make you "just know everything is going to be ok." On the other hand, her scowl ("that look") can and will make you go above and beyond her demand. Her physical traits would be described as the typical mom but her personality is anything but. Growing up, my mother was a stressed out, a mostly single mother who worked three jobs and was temporarily on food stamps (the old-fashioned paper kind). I had an "every other weekend" father (for a short while) and a full-time step-father which added to her already stressful personality. She made the best of everything and tried so hard not to show how bad things were. Mom made money, food, and good times stretch impossibly far. One moment she
My mother was very supportive of my father, and although she had a lot of health complications, she was a very strong woman, emotionally and mentally. When I was brought into the world, my parents were overjoyed. They immediately brought me home to Laredo (I was technically born in San Antonio, but I was there for a day before living in Laredo) and were excited to show me the world. My mom was a beautiful person and wanted the world for me, and treated me like I was royalty for as long as she could.
The first footsteps we've ever taken are the ones that have imprinted the inside of our mothers' stomachs. Mothers don't just give birth to us, they give us a life to live. Now, some might say mothers are supposed to give birth; it's a natural process that is their duty. It's physically straining to have a child, but it takes a true warrior to raise a child. It is often forgotten how much they continuously provide for us and how many sacrifices they make. My mother has been my inspiration, not because of her title as my mother but because she is the prime example of a what I call a hero.
When asked about an impactful person in my life, my mother always comes to mind. It’s not at all surprising to hear that the person who raised me helped determine my life, but sometimes it’s rather
Baby suggs and Sethe are both the Mother figues in beloved and despite their suffering from slavery they both cared for their children greatly. Baby Suggs and Sethe connected through Motherhood to develop a close bond. They shared the love for their children a bond that all mothers can relate with. Sethe has four children that she loves very much but she could not deal with her past of sweet home. Sethe could not bare for that to happen to her children so she had to save them from the schoolteacher and slavery by trying to kill them. She kills one child whom is referred to as beloved for what is written on her tomb stone, but fails to kill howard buglar, and Denver. Sethe motherly natural instincts caused her
My mother saw the way I had used her traits to take on an empowered, though aggressive, motherly figure. My emotions and way of addressing family members were taken directly from the approach I had witnessed her in mothering my siblings and the many important phone calls she shared with her father concerning their legal practices and daily lives. She hated seeing her bad traits come out on stage, but loved the way I looked up to her with all the hard work that made its way into the part.
She didn’t have to choose me, she didn’t have to provide for me, she didn’t have to love me and she most definitely didn’t have to take me in, but she did. I’m so unbelievably proud to call my mom my hero.
What is a mother? Most with this title are indeed moms, but are they true “Mothers”? The title of “Mother” holds great meaning with most people, including myself. It does not simply mean a mom. No, a mother is the woman who nurtures you, holds us when no one else will and teach us lessons that cannot be found or bought anywhere else, by anyone else. My Mother is a strong, determined, hard working woman that has taught me the importance of putting others before myself. She has sacrificed a great deal for our family and continues to teach me more and more no matter how old or wise I think I get. She has shown amazing strength and determination. I believe my mother to be the perfect example of how a true mother should be in her own imperfect way.
There have been a vast number of lives that have touched mine. Many different people have shared a piece of their soul in my formation. However, it is my mother who is the most important and most influential person in my life. My mother raised me by herself since the day I was born. My father was abusive and she left to make a better life for the both of us. She has worked as many as four jobs at one time. My mother wants to make sure my brothers and I have a better life than she did. It hasn’t always been easy for her, taking care of us on her own, trying to pay bills and making sure we had everything we needed. My mom has always had us involved in sports at a very young age. We always were doing something or involved in something
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.
For this narrative, I interviewed my mom, Amanda Lopez. At first, she seems mean. That’s very blunt but it’s true. My mom is a very guarded and self-reserved person. She does have manners and she is nice but, she won’t open up immediately to a new person. She is also very hard working and independent. She wasn’t born with these qualities, she went through a lot of different struggles, but that’s how she ended up where she is today.
What can one say about their mother? One may talk about her positive and negative
She has the power to make you smile when you’re down, make you cry by telling a story, keep you under control when you’re too rowdy and get angry when needed. Family is an important thing to my mother. She loves to spend as much time as she can with them. She believes in the Hawaiian saying, “Ohanna: Nobody gets left behind.” This past summer we went on a cruise ship. The whole side of my mom’s family had gone. I enjoyed my time there, especially when we arrived in Cozumel, MX.
Any women can be a mother but it takes someone special to be a mother. Having someone in your life who means so much to you is a blessing. My Mom, Fatima was born on June 4, 1973. Moving to her appearance, I could say that the way she acts says a lot about her personality. She is the kind of person that is interesting to listen. Every time I listen to her, I learn something new. The moment she had me in her life was also a blessing for her. Im her third daughter. She is someone who cheers me up while I’m feeling sad. Without her, I wouldn’t be who I am today. Her smile is the only thing that will make me happy throughout the day. Her guiding hand on my shoulder will remain forever. Ever since her childhood, my mom was taught that
My mom is a wonderful listener, if I tell her that I have a big test coming up or that I got into trouble at school she will remind me each day to study for the test coming up. She will then sit down with me to discuss what had happened that day at school. It's like my mom has a daily agenda in her mind. She always knows what's going on the day being like if I have a soccer game or if my sisters going out with friend etc, she
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.
