My Person Is My Mother

I consider my mother to be the most important person in my life because she has always been the rock in my family. She raised my two sisters and me to be independent, educated, and well-rounded individuals with little to no help from her family or my father. My mother learned at a young age that if you want something you must get up and find a way to achieve it for yourself. She worked two jobs to pay her way through college and always told my sisters and me that college was not an option, so she made sure we all

The only male figure in my life was contributing in an indirect way. Instead of having a father that I could talk to when I needed advice, I had to wait until my father called at 8:35 PM each night. As I grew older, there were times where I desperately needed the physical presence of a male figure, only to have to fend for myself. The lack of this physical presence built up an enormous amount of anger and resentment toward everyone in my life. Unknowingly, the trials I endured during my childhood created steadfastness that I would need to face what my future held.

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

I grew up watching my mother strive to give me a better life and become a better person. Amongst great difficulty, she decided to finish school and attend university. Her hard work and determination have marked and defined my life. Every day she had to work, then go to university and later take care of me. She excelled in every aspect of her life, teaching me that the impossible is overcome through hard work and

When asked about an impactful person in my life, my mother always comes to mind. It’s not at all surprising to hear that the person who raised me helped determine my life, but sometimes it’s rather

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

I look up to my mother, just as Walt looked up to his father. My mother is intelligent shown through her ability to go to UCSD and also through the fact that she was able to go to China just as it was being opened up to foreigners and live there for multiple years. She is also good at conserving money, as implied when she went to Europe with around two-thousand dollars and managing to stay there for several months as she traveled throughout. Her ability to conserve money sets a good example for me and helps to show me that frugalness is the best way to travel, and to live. So all in all, my mother has set a great example for me, and allowed me to understand the usefulness of being

There have been a vast number of lives that have touched mine. Many different people have shared a piece of their soul in my formation. However, it is my mother who is the most important and most influential person in my life. My mother raised me by herself since the day I was born. My father was abusive and she left to make a better life for the both of us. She has worked as many as four jobs at one time. My mother wants to make sure my brothers and I have a better life than she did. It hasn’t always been easy for her, taking care of us on her own, trying to pay bills and making sure we had everything we needed. My mom has always had us involved in sports at a very young age. We always were doing something or involved in something

People all grow up in different places, around different people, under different circumstance and, all of these cause different effects on their lives. People are who they are today because of the experiences that they faced. Until I was a teenager, it was always just my mom and I. I never met my “dad”, not even from day one. I never was able to get to know him, or see him, but I did have a mom. I faced the odds of becoming the stereotypical kid with a single parent that went down the wrong path, but I never did. Life caused me to have a single mother that has made me the strong person that I am today.

Since this essay seems to be getting a bit more personal, I might as well discuss the role I play in my family. I am the oldest child in a family of six children: five girls and one boy. The age differences range from one and a half years old to eighteen years old. I love children, but in a way I really don’t have much of a choice. It is only natural to be somewhat of a second mother to my

Yet my mother was a strong woman who frequently told me I could do anything I wanted to do, and I liked to listen to her rather than pay attention to the models in the society. She experienced a lot of discrimination between men and women. I learned from her that women can release themselves of male power structures. During my junior high school years my dad passed away and my mother had to work alone and from that time I learned how to be responsible since I had to stay home alone with my two younger brothers and take good care of them. Although it was a big responsibility, but my mother trusted me and told me that I am mature enough to handle it. I was proud of myself to hear that. All through my years in high school, I could hear from some relatives that I should get married by finishing the school. But my mother always taught me the importance of education and I definitely wanted to be a small fish in a big pond for a change. I studied hard to be accepted in one of the best public universities in my hometown in nursing as it was my dream to be a nurse.

My mother, an educator, and my father, a very successful business man, importuned an image of my future and set a standard on which I either followed or had some very important and hard choices to make.

There are many people that have the strongest impact in your lives. They are your role model and you want to be like them. These can be your family members, friends, or people that you just see on T.V. Whoever they might be they impacted your life because of want you learned from them. One person that had the strongest impact that made me who I am today is my mom. My mom had impacted my life and made me who I am today because she taught how to treat other how I want to be treated, don't judge other people because of their looks, and if you don't try you won't succeed. These are only the few lesson that I learned from my mom as a kid.

When I was growing up my life wasn’t always easy. My parents separated when I was very young, so it was hard on my mother to support me when she was only eighteen. We lived with my grandma almost all of my life after that, which she was our main support. There was a time when I realized that I only had myself to count on. No one but myself made sure I was fed, did my homework, or made sure I went to bed on time. These things made me independent at a young age. It’s not that my mom wasn’t there for me when I needed her, but she wasn’t always there to take care of me. I never had those types of parents that would pick me up when I fell. It was more of like they watched me as I fell and then took all of the credit when I finally got to the

Since I was a baby, I lived in a split household — constantly alternating between my father and mother’s house. My father has not always been the perfect role model. When I was younger, he was constantly alternating between different women. It led to a tumultuous life — constantly moving between houses and meeting new families. Through this period of my life, I learned that most relationships when a person is young are meaningless and do not last. It is important to build relationships that will last rather than trivial relationships that will end within a year or two. On the contrary, my mother taught my all the values I needed to get through life. She encouraged me to work hard, study hard, and to never complete a task without giving it my all. Without my mother, I would not be who I am today. My mother molded me into become an upstanding citizen of society. The values I learned from my parents, direct or indirectly, shaped me to become the person I am today. Similar to when Ben Carson’s mother urged him to read books and become better than her. My mother always said her job was to make sure we achieve more than she did.
