My Most Important Mentors In My Life : My Mother

Having supper and just being with your family (and sometimes friends) each night was essential to the well-being of the family. “We would get together and play cards a lot with my grandparents and friends.” (Meyer, M.). As a child, the community embraced her and her family, so my mom loves having a close-knit group of friends around us. Furthermore, both of her parents were “fairly strict public school teachers” (Meyer, M.), and her father was in the military in the (INSERT WAR HERE). The strictness of her parents is evident by how they belittle me with a ton of chores when I visit. By virtue of this, she grew up valuing education and discipline, yet, this also placed great stress upon her at my age. “I was very stressed about school. I worried and was anxious, and I am glad you are not as overly anxious as I was.” (Meyer, M.) As she grew up, her parent’s involvement in their children’s academics and sports were vital, therefore, my mother is actively involved with me,whether it be math or swimming. My mother has had numerous influences, but what I consider the clearest way is through my willingness to work hard, whether it be to get excellent grades or to get a starting spot, and also to remain close with my friends and those who care about

Growing up my mother has always been the most supportive person I know and also very independent. I’ve always had respect for my mother, she has always been a role model for me and my siblings. My mother has always been very supportive of me and my siblings, for as long as I can remember. Growing up my mother always encouraged us to follow our dreams.

I’ve learned through the eyes of my mother that life isn’t easy. My mother has come a long way after losing her mother at a very young age and growing up with her father and grandmother and five siblings, one being a twin. My mom’s dad had to make sacrifices while raising my mom and her siblings; it wasn’t easy growing up without her mother, my mom put herself through college with the help of her dad. My mom has a successful career and is married and is raising a happy family. Initially I thought of a celebrity as a person with the most influence in my life, but as I thought about it, I realized my mother has had the most influence in my life, always smiling, laughing and having fun. When my

My mom is a very perceptive woman. She’s always had a way of explaining the world and the people within it. It came as a great shock to myself when I learned she was extroverted, as I had always known her to exhibit introverted mannerisms. I had assumed she would be the watchful and quiet one, but she’s usually the life of the party. That’s when I started to ask her about her life. She’s experienced enough things to warrant a jaded perspective of the world, yet she still holds some appreciation. I owe her much more than just giving her a mutual respect and completing my chores. I attribute my perspective on the world to my mom. My personality was shaped from her open mind and helped me find my passions in life. I’ve always had a strong sense of who I am, what I want to do in life. I know that I’ll always be welcomed back to her regardless of any mistakes I may

My mentor would have to probably be my sister. She has been through alot, good and bad. And that is all that has made her very strong. She has 4 daughters and she is always there for them helping them out as much as possible, and she then yet still tries to help everyone out as much as possible.

Interviewer: Was there anyone in particular who really sticks out as a mentor to you?

Family holds a high value in my life. My parents wishes means a lot to me. My dad had always dreamed of their sons to go in the field of science. Unfortunately, my brother did not follow his wish and decided to go for graphic designing. I felt obligated to fulfill my father’s wish. When I was applying for college I decided I was going to start off as biology major. Therefore, one of the biggest decisions of my life was based on the core value of family.

For this assignment I choose to shadow my mother, Toni Travis. She does so much for me and my family; she is a huge role model for me in my everyday life. My mom works at Lee Industries as an accounting manager, and she works all the time, when she gets off of work she comes home to work some more. I’ve tried to see what she was doing but I could never understand it, so I wanted to know what she actually did. Now I got the chance to see, understand and live what she really does at work.

My Mentor goes by the name of Alexandria. Alexandria is a long time friend of mines who have recently passed away. We meet through my best friend one day when i came over her house and she was sitting there. When i walked in she was looking at me a certain kind of way and i couldn't understand why. Alexandria and I were like two peas in a pod she was my everyday girl my number one supporter in everything i did in life.

My cultural mentor is my mother-in-law Jia Soksoda. I first met her on Memorial Day in 2007. She is a mother of nine children, five boys and four girls. On that day, I also met all but one of her children. She works in a local garden and helps to pick vegetables. I have always been interested in her story of how she came to American alone with three children. This assignment gave me to opportunity to learn more about her amazing life. When I first asked he if I could use her as my mentor she said no, my husband had to go talk to her multiple times before she was ok with me using her as my mentor. I started meeting with her on September 15, 2016. I met with her once a week in September then twice a week in October, most the time at her home but occasionally at my home. This assignment gave me a great opportunity to get a better understanding of my mother-in-law.

Definition of mentor; An experienced and trusted advisor. We as catholics have some of the strongest faith in our Lord, but who do we have as mentors? We all have different people we see as mentors. Whether in sports, education, life, and in this case faith. For my faith mentor I look up to my grandma Kuhn. I see her as the exact definition of mentor.

On November 17,1989 my mother Juanita Renea Ohlinger went into labor at 6:00 A.M. she was in labor for 12hrs. She laid there in so much pain at Providence hospital until Dr. Kendal Foster showed up and told her she had to have a C-section because her pelvis would not expand. The nurse hooked my mother up to monitors and willed her to the operating room, my father Raymond F Smith was dressed in hospital operating clothes. Dr. Foster began to open my mother’s womb and pulled me out at 5:25 pm.

I have been taught right from wrong at a young age and I was given the option to decide what I want to do with my life. This means that my mom didn’t give me many rules, curfews, or restrictions on anything because she trusts that I will make the right decision. She wants me to experience going out with friends and having fun because if she wouldn’t let me, she knew that I would find a way to go out anyway and she doesn’t want me to end up the way that she did. My mom is my person of influence and the person that I want to be like. I never give up on something that I want, I overcome any challenging obstacles that are sent my way, and I always try to push harder and do the extra work that other people wouldn’t do. I try to get the best grades that I am capable of, be as involved with the school as I can, and make money for myself as well. My mom didn’t choose to have me and she didn’t have to but she did and my ultimate goal in life is for her to be proud of me and see me succeed and go off to college because she

There have been many situations which have shaped my character, but the one situation that is the basis of myself is my mother. When I was two years old, my mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis or MS. MS is a disease that disables the central nervous system and thus disrupts the flow of information to the brain, which then goes out to the body. In every diagnosed person, the symptoms are different and so is the severity.

My mom, Alicel, was ten when she first moved to the United States. She is the youngest of nine siblings, most of which already lived in America. Alicel always visited her older siblings a couple times a year with a visa, which gave her six months to stay in the u.s legally. By the time she was 15 she was fluent in English and already familiar with American customs. She had been visiting America for 11 years before moving there permanently at the age of 21.
