Throughout my life I have learned many different things from many different people, but the one person that I have learn the most valuable lessons from being my mother. Some lessons that my mother has taught me is to be kind to everyone, not to judge people, stand your ground, be yourself, talk your problems out, forgive, and to cherish the people in your life.

We were yelling and throwing things at each other and when our mom walked in she sat us both down and told us how yelling and acting like crazy people wasn’t going to solve any problems.
