My Mother In My Life

The second person that has helped me with my life is my loving sister. Yes we fight, we argue, scream at each other but when it comes to someone I need and trust my sister is always there. She has shown me that hard work pays off in the end. She also has shown me to love myself and to boost my confidence up by a lot, even when I’m feeling down in the dumps she jumps into my life and brings a smile to my face. She also makes me want to better myself because she the first and only sibling that has gone to college and I want to go to college and show her that all the hard work she has put in to help me has paid off. I love her and am grateful to have a loving and caring sister that I admire so

Growing up I was always closer to my dad; he's taught me so much about life, me, and how to handle things. My dad always understood me better than my mom ever even tried. My dad taught me I need to stand up for myself, but also to be there when someone needs me. He helped me stand up for myself, showed me what respect looks like; also, he taught me loyalty and respect are the two most important things. Along with all of that, he was there for me when no one else was.

A person who has been a major influence on my intellectual life, has really helped shape who I am today, and helped me reach for my goals would have to be my paternal grandmother. She always encouraged me to do well in school and would tell me to focus on what I really loved and to push myself to achieve the things I love. She encouraged me to do well in school because it was her personality. She was a teacher for over forty years and she knew that getting the best education was the key to success, so that's why she stressed that point on me. Whenever I saw her or would talk to her on the phone, she would always ask how school was and if I were keeping my grades up. As her only granddaughter, I would always respond affirmatively because I knew

My mommy is one person I’m super grateful for. She is my main role model and I wish to be half the person she is. Someday I wish to be half as strong she is, I’ve watched my mom go through so many things growing up and she pushes through everything. She has a had a major influence on my life with teaching a whole lot of things that I will need to have a successful life. She has taught me how to be stronger person, that nothing is going to be handed to you, to never give up, and always to help others when you can. My mom is the person that I know I can always count on and the person that inspires me to do my best. My mom is the person who has been there through it all. One thing that I’ve always realized about my mom is that she is always

“Chef girlardee” has been my grandparents nickname for me since I knew how to use a knife. After school, I would walk in the door and instantly be able to make out exactly what was cooking. As soon as I could make it out, I would rush up the small set of steps into the kitchen to see what I could help my Mamaw with. Even if it was a simple meal that could be prepared in ten minutes, she always let me help with something. This happened almost every day from first to fourth grade. Now at that time my skills were fairly limited I could peel potatoes, stir, mix, and go downstairs to get anything from the pantry she needed. Looking back, I know I wasn’t doing much but she still always told me how helpful and sweet I was for helping. Spend that time with my Mamaw and Papaw is what I looked forward to everyday after school. Going over there as much as I did and watching my Mamaw cook encouraged me to try new things.

The second woman that stands out and has impacted me is my wife. She actually helped me recognize how to be a man. It

She is strong, a caregiver, provider, and the best part she has a great sense of humor. Who may I be talking about? That would be my mom, Krista Dykstra. My mom is one of the most important people in my life. She is the one who is there through the ups and downs or whenever help is needed. My mom is a strong believer in family time, she is a passionate person about trying and learning new thing and she is overall very smart and cares about her education. Life wouldn’t be the same without her.

My first choice was a no brainer, it’s my mother. Even though we have dinner together almost daily, she will always be my first choice. My mother is the strongest woman that I know. She has the utmost influence on me, her value can never be downplayed. She sacrificed so much in order for me and my brothers to have the best of the best, and even the best was never enough to her. She taught me to always keep my head up, to dream big, aim high and peruse what I want with determination, she is the root for who I am today. Her life isn’t easy, but she faces each problem silently and with potency.

A mother who made many sacrifices and went days without eating to make sure that I did. A mother who taught me the significance of education, religion, and morals and values. One who told me to respect others, to open the door for his elders, to have manners, to let ladies go first, to treat others the way he’d like to be treated, and best of all to help and give to others less fortunate than him. She has provided me with the best possible education that a waitress with two kids can. This education has brought me many great teachers who have genuinely cared about me and my future. Teachers who have pushed me to be better academically and in my own life. I have also had friends who have motivated and competed with me to bring out the best in each

My mother, she's my favorite best person. She's always with me since i was a kid she's been there when I fall down and need her help. She helped me with my homework when I was small and when I was sick and she would take care of me. This has been a great example for me that we should always help people just the way my mother did because you never know when you will most need it. Being in these places with my family has made me a better person that is in love with life. This has showed me a different way of seeing bad things and moments and replace it with memories that i will never

My parents. They are always there when you need it no matter where and when. They are dependable and able to provide me what I need in that moment. – Tanisha

Growing up, I had a lot of amazing people to look up to, including my father. He was my hero and was always encouraging me to push myself and try new things. My father was in the military for many years and was a drill sergeant, so he was very good at persuading people to do things, my six year old self included. He taught me many lessons in life and has helped me grow as a person.

my mother because I would have not made it this far in school or in life. She is my role model,

My mom is by far the most important reason because she was my role model growing up. While being pregnant with me, she began to go back to school and started taking classes to finish and get her diploma. I have very vivid memories of my mom staying up countless of nights so she could do her homework and pass her classes. Her desire to get her GED so she could become a nurse herself was extraordinary. Needless to say, she had my brother and I to deal with but her effort

The moment us grandkids walked into our grandparents house we were welcomed by a heartwarming hug by the each of them. More times than not we would smell grandma’s cooking which made all of our stomachs growl for the delicious food. Grandpa would joke about how he wouldn’t survive without the cooking from his beautiful wife.
