This morning I woke up, the same as everyday stretching my legs off my bed and onto the floor, my arms raised up grazing the ceiling. As any other day, I got out of bed and waltzed into the kitchen where I could smell the aroma of coffee being freshly brewed. My mother was up, bright and early fixing breakfast for my father who leaves everyday for work promptly at 7:00am. I am not a morning person, but today the smell of that coffee woke me with ease. If this were any other day, I wouldn 't have woken so easily. For some reason this day didn 't really feel like every other day. My mother, and I have a decent relationship. You could say we have a normal mother daughter relationship comparable to anyone else. We go shopping, to …show more content…
I walk to school alone everyday, and that is okay with me because I enjoy the peace, and quite. As I walk I think about how I can’t wait to get to school, but I also think about how when I get to school I know that every minute that passes is a minute closer to me being back at home. It is a shame that I think this way. It’s a shame because I love my mother, and my father ruins that for me. In a perfect world I would go home to just my mother, and wouldn 't have to worry about the hatred that my father endures towards my family, and for no reason at that.
With all these thoughts rushing through my head, I finally realize that I have been daydreaming so long that I am no longer walking, but I am at a halt in front of the main entrance of my high school. I say to myself aloud, “If I go in that means I am roughly eight hours from being back at home.” Instead of entering the school I immediately turn around to walk back to my house. Nobody is there during the day so that means I can actually enjoy being home without the worry of anyone belittling myself or my mother. My walking now turns into a light jog, as for once I am excited about the idea of being home. Finally I am approaching the driveway to my house where I see a strange car parked in front of the garage door. The car appeared to be an old van painted in a dark matte greenish color. The wheels looked worn as if they have maybe been changed once in the cars lifetime, and the
I have always loved the feel of an early morning. Back home I used to wake up early to go fishing with my dad. The blue sky with rays of oranges and yellows always soothed me. However, this morning had everything that I have always loved, but it had an ominous tone to it. It had rained the day before so the only noise that I kept hearing was the splashing of boots on the murky mud.
Abraham Lincoln once stated, “All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe it to my mother.” Mother and child relationships vary greatly. Some mothers can have a very tight bond with their child, while others tend to be rather distant. The mother is responsible for caring for their child and helping the children grow. They should be able to guide their child down a good path, and not force them down a life that they do not want to do. This can be caused by many different reasons. In the book Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan Waverly has a distant relationship with her mother. The relationship between me and my mother is a complex bond that can not compare to any other mother and child relationship. My bond with my mother contrasts to other relationships
Some are good, some are horrid. Some mothers get along like a best friend would with their daughter, and some could step on them like a door mat. Mostly we can see that mothers always try to encourage the “right thing.” In the story “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid we see a mother-daughter relationship that seems to be
I was sitting in the back of the taxi in Ukraine. The car moved and I began to see the one I love fade into the gray night fog. I will never forget the feeling I had during that moment. Like something was being ripped from my heart - a moment of great despair as I leave both my family and my country.
But this bond does more than just solidify a mother-daughter friendship, it allows them to support each other through life’s worst and best moments. There are boundaries that
Mother-daughter relationships are very important in life. Some say they are absolutely essential. Mothers nurture, encourage, and provide the help needed when it feels like the world is ending. Their presence makes everything better no matter what. Without a mother's love, without a mother's hug, daughters would all feel a little lost. After all, what are daughters without their mothers? Here are the greatest mother-daughter relationships seen on television (some make me totally jealous).
Both Harper Lee, in her 1959 novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Maya Angelou, in her 1993 poem, “On the Pulse of Morning,” induce profound claims on society and prejudice. Despite the notion that the authors wrote this prose over thirty years apart, both Lee and Angelou exhort society into ameliorating their ideologies and claim that despite people’s differences, humanity can accomplish celebrated triumphs.
A good relationship with a mother can be the one of the most rewarding blessings in life. Just like any relationship a human has, there will be moments in which the relationship can be dreadful, and moments when the relationship can be superb. However, the way in which people interpret the situation, resolve the issue, and above all try to make the relationship healthier, will determine how successful the relationship will be in the future. In the excerpt by Amy Chua Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom and the excerpt by Amy Tan The Joy luck club the authors explain how they are having an issue with their mother/daughter at a certain point in their life. These excerpts resemble the idea of a relationship not being in a state of tranquility, but
I woke up this morning. It was a morning much like any morning, except, it looked like a
I ran across the street and almost got hit by a two bicyclist, I pick up the newspaper lying on the bench dated May 18, 2007. As I flip through the paper I see the obituary of my mother, I knew this wasn’t just a coincidence, this was my chance. I sat down on the same section of the sidewalk I sat before, although now it has many cracks. I repeated under my breath “May 16 2007” several times until finally I was placed on the same street corner again. I’m almost too positive it's the right date so I run down the street and take a left then I take two rights until I approach my driveway. As i’m just about to open the backdoor with the key that’s kept in the seat cushion near the door I realize my parents don’t know me, and I can't just walk in. I head behind the garage to strategize, I came up with the plan that i'll knock on the door and talk to them about a lost dog for a while, hoping to push back their schedule enough to prevent my mom from the
The most complex relationship a female will have is the one with her own mother. Because of this natural and special connection that exists between a mother and her
I received little sleep that night, and morning came quickly. I had my usual morning coffee, ham, and eggs stacked neatly onto a buttery croissant. I certainly needed energy. I packed my car to capacity filling every corner and space I could find. I began an arduous,
Throughout my life, I’ve gone through everything that could possibly put me in emotional distress. I’ve been down a broken road with my father, the man I love so much I’ll make every excuse for whenever he disappoints me. I’ve encountered life where it’s not so enjoyable due to unacceptance and never ending judgment by my biggest critic, my mother, the woman whom I should feel most secure with. However despite the emotional mounds of pain these matters carry, I was able to lift the suffocating weight long enough to realize everything that burdened me, made me strong enough to have the will power to be independent and make life changing decisions on my own. At three years old, I met my biological father in a local supermarket’s parking lot; I remember vividly, the exact moment when this stranger held me in his broad, strong arms. I recall screaming at an immense volume not even laying eyes on him. All I had been focused on was finding my mother, the woman who played both parental roles in my life. This clearly justified the great state of confusion I was in in his presence since I wasn’t at all aware I even had a father. As I grew older, the visits to my father’s house became the norm and having begun developed a “best friend” type of relationship with him, I found myself crying more and more when I had to go back to my mom’s settlement. I never wanted to leave; my life became filled with happiness, filled with a father’s love I had never felt
First, the day started off with me being awoken by an alarm clock. I thought that the day couldn’t get any worse than waking up at six AM on summer vacation, because I forgot to turn off my alarm. But then it did, my iPod dropped off the charger and that was going to be my way of staying up until everyone awoke.
My mother and I have always had a close bond in our relationship. When I was young, my mother was forced to raise me on her own, and during this time is when we developed a strong connection. Our relationship has never consisted of fighting, only the usual bickering that occurred during my teenage years. I have always reached out to my mother when I need advice, a shoulder to cry on, or am simply looking for a good laugh. Without I doubt, I consider my mother, my best friend because she continues to love me unconditionally despite the mistakes that I make. Together we are very open with each other and I value the fact that I tell her everything because I know this is something that is unique to a mother-daughter relationship.
