Reflection Paper On Penland

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

My mom has been through a lot with me she got me healthy even if she was sick during the time I was a baby, She has helped me with my reading and writing disability and has pushed me to do my best. She is a strong confident woman that is loving she loves to attend to people and has a great smile. She has shown me that even if times are hard you have to bring your head up and raise it high. I maybe a mama’s boy but my mom is one of my greatest role models and people I admire.

While, my mother has also been a significant individual in my life, my grandmother has always been my confidant, someone I could go to whenever I was confused or needed guidance, and she always had the answers. Whether it was putting alcohol on a scrapped knee or lending a shoulder to cry on, I could count on her to be there during my most precious moments. The tough love has also

4. What qualities or unique characteristics do you possess that would allow you to contribute to the UCF community?

Growing up my mom was the only parent in my household, so naturally we were a very close family. My mom took care of all of us. She always made sure my siblings and I had everything we needed in order to be successful. She cooked, clean, worked, etc., she really was a super mom. Whenever I had a problem with something or needed to talk to someone she was always there for me. My mom gave

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

She has shown me what perseverance is and that true hard work can actually pay off. My family was in a rough patch for a long time, but somehow my mom managed to save us. She might have had to work three jobs and go to bed hungry some nights, but if we never struggled, I would not be here today. Since then, I have achieved my first degree black belt, and my mom had a big role in this part of my life. She encouraged me to pursue my dreams and was always there for me when I thought classes were too hard.When I wanted to give up, she always told me, “It will be worth it in the end.” My mother was right; you should never give up on your dreams, just because you do not feel like you fit

From the moment she found she was expecting a little baby whom she would call tiny, she has been there for me whenever, wherever, and however I’ve needed help. My mother is many things; Determined, Driven, Helpful… But she is also underestimated. She and my father have truly changed my life in so many ways! My mother is not just a worker, she is an incredible mom. Everything I am, and everything I do, is because of both of my parents. No matter if it is school, acting, or a pageant, my mom is always there to get me ready, give me pep talks, and all around let me know that I can accomplish my goals! Listed below are the reasons she has truly helped me.

What other responsibilities do you anticipate having next year, and how will they affect your schedule and availability?

Besides being compassionate my mother is thoughtful. She stays at work late if someone needs help with theirs. She brings my grandmother dinner and runs errands for her. She is always putting others before herself. For instance, last year I began singing in the choir at Iowa State. It was really important to me because singing has always been a passion of mine. She drove to Ames for every single concert. It meant a lot to me to have her in the audience supporting me. This year I also started singing in the choir at my church. I was really excited and nervous about singing the first Sunday so few days before I was going to sing she gave me a beautiful necklace with a star pendant on it. I remember her warm hug and her telling me good luck and that I was ‘her star’. It touched me that she took time out of her busy schedule to encourage and support things that she knew were important to me. She could have just wished me well and enjoyed her few minutes of spare time, but instead she put me first.

She has helped me decide what direction I would take in deciding what degree I would attain. She always expresses that nobody will be a better advocate for myself than me. She has instilled in me a drive to excel in college.

When you look at my family right now, you can see that everyone is separated from each other. My mom and sister live in the states, my other sister lives in the Philippines, and I live here on Saipan with my father. My mother is the kind of person that can voice her opinions, one that can speak to people, and someone who can find a way through any situation. These are some of the reasons I admire my mother deeply.

As I write this paper and look around me, I can’t help but to reminisce in nostalgia and almost choke up in tears. To my right is the family room, an open chamber where I have learned more life lessons than any school I’ve been to. Meanwhile, to my left encompasses the kitchen which holds a wide variety of memories from my life; from birthdays to vegetarian Thanksgiving to Saturday night Taco Bell. The love I have for my home, my sanctuary, the place that has nurtured me from toddlerhood to manhood is unparalleled to any other place in the world. However, what I think makes it the most special is that it’s located in Franklin, and it would devastate me if I moved anywhere else, but unfortunately I did.

An inspirational person is someone who motivates, uplifts, and makes one want to achieve a goal and my mom is a person who exemplifies those qualities each and every day. My mother, Janet, inspires; she was always by my side fighting my cancer with me my senior year of high school. She unconditionally loved me, uplifted me, and without her I do not know where I would be today. To be unconditionally loved is something we all need as humans. To be loved by our mothers is even more important. A mother’s love is different from any other love and expressing it is easy. Her love is shown through hugs, words of encouragement, constant support, and always pointing me in the right direction. When my mother uplifts me she keeps me positive, she helps me when I am down, smiles constantly, and encourages me. Not having a mother would be like going days without breathing. My mother is part of me, and when I was battling cancer, she made all the difference.

She taught me important lessons and one of them was how to be an independent female. she told me if I wanted to be successful, college will lead you the right path that you need to be at. Whenever she told me stuff like this, it would help and encourages me a lot. I have never been in any hard situation in my life and that’s because my mom is always by my side. Whether she’s away from me or not, distance will never separate us no matter what. she is my inspiration and he keeps me motivated to get my degree heart Surgeon, my dream job.
