My Mom And I Had An Unbreakable Bond From The Day I Was Born

Nevertheless, it was challenging for a single mother to raise three kids without financial and emotional support. At that time my mother was a housekeeper, and she and my father divorced when I was six-years old. She is a tenacious women. Moreover, she is supportive, hardworking and possesses a magnificent sense of humor. While I was in school, my mother worked long hours and by the time I arrived home she barely had energy to cook dinner, or check out my academic progress. However, even when she was mentally and physically exhausted, she always cooked for me and my

The first week of her absence was lonely but endurable. My father tried to come home early to take care of us. Even my brother, who usually just ignores me, was willing to stick around. But as time goes by, I started to miss my mother more and more. It was to the extreme that when she called back

From working several jobs at a time to make sure I had everything I needed, she became the reason why I was raised the way I raised. The lesson that “ I should treat everyone like the most important person in the world because I will never know when I might need them” was engraved in my head was owned by my mother. Sometimes she would tell me that she had holes in her socks and I knew it was due to most of her money going towards my private school tuition in order for me to be able to have the best education I could get. My mother is my background, my identity, interest, and talent. She is truly the one that has set me up for success, regardless of how fatigued or overworked she is. She is the person who truly defines who I am and who I have become to this

Growing up my mom was the only parent in my household, so naturally we were a very close family. My mom took care of all of us. She always made sure my siblings and I had everything we needed in order to be successful. She cooked, clean, worked, etc., she really was a super mom. Whenever I had a problem with something or needed to talk to someone she was always there for me. My mom gave

Growing up, my mom was a big impact on my life. Two days of the week she was a dental assistant. The other days she was just my mom. When she came home on the days after work she would smell minty and fresh from working in her dental office. I feel blessed to have been able to have my mother as a constant influence in my life. She showed me that I could be as mother as well as have a good job; I did not need to pick one or the other. My mother taught me how to stand up for myself and how not to be a pushover. One of the most important things I think that my mother taught me was how to be compassionate. Even as a young child when I heard about some of the terrible things that had happened in the world, my heart broke for those

To see my parents always working and worrying for our future was so hard to see we would pray every night. The thing they always made sure they had money for is for our school and the utensils we needed for school. This was a very tough part in my life because me and my sister were always worried are we ever going to get, are we ever going to help our parents live a better life. When my sister turned sixteen she had to get her first job to help my parents out and it started to get a little

By the grace of god, I was given a wonderful mom that actually cared about me and wanted me to succeed and live a good life other than the one I was living in back in the day. She heavily supported me throughout my elementary and intermediate years of school and she still gives me that same support. She gave me hope for a better future. My mentality frame in middle school was to get my mom out from the poverty lifestyle and later in life purchase her a house

Being raised just by my Mom for a while had a major effect on the person I came to be today. When you think about a Mom, you tend to think loving and caring. With my mom raising me, she taught me just that. Growing up she taught me the values of being respectable to my elders, how to have proper manners, how to treat a girl correctly, etc… Most people would think that because of this, their son may come out to be “girly”. Since a father figure is not present. Although, I knew growing up that I had to act as the “man” of the house. So when my

My mother has a substantial impact on my life which shaped me into the college-ready young man I am today. When I was just a sophomore in high school she got arrested and removed out of my life in a flash. My two sisters and I did not know what to do. We had no father figure in our life, so, our grandparents came in and took us under their wing. Not knowing what to do, I was panicking asking myself questions like what am I going to do now and where am I going to attend school. These were really tough decisions knowing that I do not have a say in what happens. Having to leave all my close childhood friends, along with all the memories I had made in my hometown, it was a very dramatic sequence of events.

The bond that is made between a parent and a child is one of the most powerful bonds that is created throughout a lifetime. The theme of parenthood has a close personal connection to my life, and also in many other people’s lives. The strong connection I have with my mother is one that I hold very near to my heart. Without the unconditional love and support I receive from her everyday, I would not be able to move forward into my future the way I plan to next year. I have made mistakes, and will continue to as I grow into an adult, but I am certain that my mother's love for me will never change. No matter how big the fight, I will never doubt her love and I believe many people can identify with that. The unconditional love of a parent that

Watching my mother live from pay check to pay check when I was young was difficult. It was always hard for my mom to keep up with other parents but, she still somehow managed to get me everything I wanted, and more. Even though I was too young to understand, I could feel the stress, and the struggles my mom faced every day. She was only 20 years old when I was born and, because of that she had no choice but to grow up fast. At such a young age, I saw the effects of being a single parent, and the ways it changed my mom. She not only had to be a young mother but, she had to find a way to replace the void of a father, or a father figure in my life. My mom was strong, independent and courageous. Growing up watching her live her dreams under all the circumstances she faced, made me want to strive for a better life for myself. Seeing how hard is was to live and to have enough

Being the first born to a teenage mother, the chances of me getting to where I am now were uncertain. However, our family received government assistance, which allowed my mother the opportunity to pursue a college career, a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work. This enabled her to not only provide us with the necessities, but instilled in myself the importance of furthering my education and being a productive member of society. I have some very good personal traits that make me different than everyone else. I was raised with high values and good morals.

I will never forget that day, the day I casually walked downstairs to find my parents sitting face to face at the kitchen table with both arms crossed and a serious look on their faces. I slowly walk towards my dad who is reaching out to give me a hug, looking at me with his sorrowful eyes, tells me that he will be moving out. At the time, I remember feeling confused, but I did not feel so emotionally affected because I was only just 5 years old. Being raised in a single parent household has been a challenge in my life and has impacted me through financial problems, social situations, and maturity.

When I was younger, the mere of thought of being broke at an old age terrified me. I'm glad my mother taught independence at an early age. She emphasized learning basic car repair and investing in real estate. Looking at the world today, I'm glad I listened to mother's advice.

In my childhood, I spent a lot of time with my mother, and developed a special closeness with her, because of this. First, I was not an easy child to care for; therefore, it became necessary for her to spend a lot of time with me. I was constantly in trouble in grade school. She and I, were always in the principal’s office (along with a very angry and upset teacher). If I was not with my mother in school, I was with her almost constantly at home, as I needed extra attention from her, and to keep me out of harm’s way. Second, there were many different places, or doctor appointments, that she and I would go, together (I have always been very accident prone; therefore, many trips to hospital were made together). Also, while my siblings could be trusted to stay and play, I was always with my mother whenever she went anywhere, it seems. Third, a special bond was made between my mother and me, while we had these times together. I was always with her when she did the
