My Mother

My mom has made a huge impact on my life, yet she may never know it. My mom does so much for me and my brothers that she usually doesn’t take time for herself. That impacts me a lot because it shows me what a hard-working woman looks like. She

As I got older, my mother constantly told me that to achieve mastery over any one subject, you must get 10,000 hours of practice. This was a reference to the book Outliers, written by Malcolm Gladwell. My mother taught me to be honest, to believe in trust, and to never lie. This inspired me because it made me who I am. Through my life, I have never thought of who was inspiring me to go on; urging me to continue to do what I was doing and to strive and aspire for greater things. Now that I think of it, my mother was the one who was inspiring me. I admire my mom because she has a positive attitude, she works hard, and she explains things to me in a way that makes sense.

I have read excerpts from two texts. An informational text titled ‘The Sea Around Us’ by Rachel Carson, and a literature text titled ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’, by Jules Verne. In both excerpts there are many descriptions of the ocean. Many people debate whether details are described more vividly in informational text, or in literature. I feel the ocean was described more vividly in the excerpt from the literature text ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’.

Ever since I was small I remember telling my mom I had always looked up to her because of everything she did. My mom would always tell me stories of herself when she was small and I realized how lucky I was to get most of the things I wanted as I kid. I remember her always telling me that she wanted me to take care of her just like she was taking care of me when I was older. "Mom I promise when I'm older I'll get you the biggest car and house you've always wanted" I would tell my mom every night when she would come to my room to put me in bed. My mom and dad had always had their differences for as long as I can remember. My parents had been happily married for most of their lives until my sisters and I were older. Even though the

My grandma and I love each other. She has always been the person I would go to in my terrifying times of trouble. I am starting from where I can remember, her life and mine. Somedays I would go see her just because she is my grandma and my father loved her a lot. That was when she was healthy and able to go out to love her grandkids. I remember all the weeks I would go without seeing her; her and my grandpa loved to travel with her, so I regret wanting to be with my friends other than her. I used to have family come once a year or even longer than that. It was about two years age when we got the harsh, tragic new that changed all of our lives.

When I think of something or someone that I hold near and dear to my heart, I think of the one person that I go to for everything. My grandma is that person; she is my person. Her heart is why I adore her. My grandma would give anything to anyone, she supports me in everything I do, her kindness radiates throughout her, and she is the most dependable person I have in my life. I hold my grandma on a pedestal because she has always held me on hers.

The relationship is so weak that a wife can have a bitter feeling towards her husband. But the idea that marriage is the only career and husband is the only destiny is clearly reflected in the thoughts of Jeeja :

Who doesn’t love a close relative? Imagine what it is like to be alone, without a supportive family member. Just like John Lennon’s song, Imagine. Think about what family can do to you, and how they impact your life. Especially, a grandmother.

Every little girl needs her daddy I would say I'm definitely a daddy's girl ever since I was little and even now as an adult. My dad and I have a really close relationship we can go on for hours talking to each other, when I would come home from school every day I would always tell my dad about my day and he would just sit there and listen to me. That was my favorite part of the day that I would always look forward to. But I never thought that one day maybe that would change, I never thought that I would end up talking to him only twice a week for a couple minutes and only get to see him for a one month every year.

When people think about great women many think of Amelia Earhart, Rosa Parks, and Susan B. Anthony these women overcame struggles in their life that would change history. While my grandmother didn’t change history she also overcame many struggles in life that would change her. Marsha Lynn Farrell born January 31, 1948, grew up in a very different America than today. She would deal with struggles that most girls her age didn’t deal with. From her mother and father getting a divorce, her mother having a kid out of wedlock and dealing with family tragedies. These struggles in life made her a strong woman and able to adapt to any situation. She grew up fast and no matter what life threw at her she was able to overcome the problem and put her family first which has inspired me to do the same.

My mom inspired me on being hard working, responsible and accountable. Her perseverance in life gave me the inspiration for putting more effort in any activity I undertake and get the best out of my life. She had a goal of giving us a decent and comfortable life, and she made us proud of her.

Someone who has had a profound effect on me and who I am is my mom. She has done so much for me and my and she has played a large part in shaping who I am today. It is my mom’s commitment to others success, communication skills, compassion, family values, the home environment she created, her motivational techniques, and work ethic that had the largest impact on me.

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

My grandma is retired from her secretarial job. Twice a month she visits with her older sister in the country to make certain that she is being taken care of proprly. It is during these frequent trips that I realize how much she is a part of my everyday life. My grandma lives downstairs from me. From the inside of our house, there is no stairs connecting the top and bottom floors. If I want to go downstairs, I have to use the outside stairs. I wear these flat slippers that make a tapping sound when I walk on the wooden stairs and whenever it is quiet, my grandma can hear me coming and going. When I reach the bottom of the stairs on my way out, she is always standing at her door waiting for me. As we walk to my car every morning, she
