“Surely a mother who has chosen to sacrifice her sleep deserves respect and admiration for her generous mothering.”-Naomi Standlen. Many people look up to their parents for help in life. My mom has been there for me and when she is there she is supportive, inspiring, and intelligent. My mom is supportive in many things you chose to do in life. For example, I wanted to take yearbook for one of my electives for eighth grade and she was was saying “Yeah, I really think that you would do great in that class.” Sadly, my dad told me that I had to do the classes with the high school credits so that I can graduate high school early. Another example is when I was in the seventh grade, I joined the school choir and my mom told me she would support
My mother was very supportive of my father, and although she had a lot of health complications, she was a very strong woman, emotionally and mentally. When I was brought into the world, my parents were overjoyed. They immediately brought me home to Laredo (I was technically born in San Antonio, but I was there for a day before living in Laredo) and were excited to show me the world. My mom was a beautiful person and wanted the world for me, and treated me like I was royalty for as long as she could.
When I am having troubles of my own and need someone who will truly listen, she gives me great advice whether I like the outcome or not. She has guided and molded my sister and I into young ladies who know their self worth and who will not back down from anything. I have always looked up to my mother because she is strong as an ox, and by that I mean mentally, physically, and emotionally. She is simply this compared to any one I have ever met. As I have grown each day I follow her and pay attention to the things she does because one day I hope I can become at least half as great as she is. I say half because honestly, I don’t know if anything can beat
Similarly, my Mother advised a great deal in my choice to continue with my education. Back in 1988, when I was seven years old, my mother graduated college with a Bachelor’s degree in Special Education. Watching her work tirelessly while trying to raise me, work full time and attempting full-time credit hours, instilled in me the desire and drive to achieve my goals. She has been my role model as a non-traditional student. She helped me achieve a workable school/work/life balance. She has been my constant cheerleader since my decision to return to college and pursue an undergraduate degree.
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
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
She is wonderful and just awesome is even supportive of my friends and is always nice and caring to them. The girls in colorgard love her to she acts like a second mother to them. She also takes time off of work to help out at band camp every year. She is back school online and is getting her masters showing that no matter if you are an adult or kid you can always learn more and that's such a big inspiration to me. She has come to almost all of my volleyball, and softball games and helped me when I was having trouble with them and showing me the best way to do things. My mom also tells me to never give up like when I was doing volleyball I wanted to quit but she told to just finish the season and that I don’t have to do it again if I didn’t want to, I ended up really liking it and had a lot of fun. She even helped me to get back in a good place after my grades fell, and I was not in a good place then she helped me to get them higher and, try as hard as I can and do my very best. My mom is my hero for all these reasons and many, many more but the fact that I have her is a blessing in itself. She is kind, caring, smart, funny, lovable, Amazing,and
My parents have been very supportive, especially my mother. She has given me to courage to believe in myself and to strive for the best. She is a gold medalist from her University and I also aspire to study hard, get good grades and be the best that I can ever be. I am indebted to my parents for teaching me, appreciating me and for guiding me at all
Being supportive can be very loving and convincing. Learning to help out and take charge took buck far in life, my mom was being supportive so that she can help push my brother kirk to do something more. Because buck was being helpful and loving to John Thornton, and my mom was being helpful and living to Kirk and that will keep family strong. Loving and caring for family and others will keep you from living in the worst and keep you from living in Great Bend, Kansas.
She always made me feel comfortable. She made it her business to stay in touch with my teachers. They would keep her well informed of my progress. She would make surprise visits to my school just to see how I was doing. My mother was determine I was not going to be like most of the girls in my neighborhood a pregnant drop out. I thought she was too hard on me but, now I thank God she was because I would not be the woman I am today without her love and support. “Social support plays a key role in enhancing general mental health and successful coping strategies (McGrath,
My mom helps me with everything. School, pays for my cell phone and car because I go to school. She sets up my doctors’ appointments. She tells me what I do and don’t need. She helps me define myself as a women so I can have kids one day, be a great mother like she is, raise a family, have a nice home, get a job. She helps me with all of these things along with two others, my older brother and my younger sister. My older brother had a full ride to go play football at a college and instead of taking the ACT he went and partied it up the night before and lost his chance of playing. He just had a baby and was living with my parents not too long ago and he’s 22. My mom does her very best everyday to help us all out. She doesn’t have to worry very hard with my sister. She’s a sophomore in college and has never made a B in her life. She’s already getting letters from big schools to go there. My mom is very proud of her as I am too. I’ve put my mom through so much along with my brother. For example, it’s my third semester in college and I’m at my third school. I just wasn’t built with my sister’s brains. I’m here, in college, for my mom. She always says, “Please go do big things. Don’t quit like your father and I did when it came to
I have been taught right from wrong at a young age and I was given the option to decide what I want to do with my life. This means that my mom didn’t give me many rules, curfews, or restrictions on anything because she trusts that I will make the right decision. She wants me to experience going out with friends and having fun because if she wouldn’t let me, she knew that I would find a way to go out anyway and she doesn’t want me to end up the way that she did. My mom is my person of influence and the person that I want to be like. I never give up on something that I want, I overcome any challenging obstacles that are sent my way, and I always try to push harder and do the extra work that other people wouldn’t do. I try to get the best grades that I am capable of, be as involved with the school as I can, and make money for myself as well. My mom didn’t choose to have me and she didn’t have to but she did and my ultimate goal in life is for her to be proud of me and see me succeed and go off to college because she
As cliché as it might sound, because many people say this, I think I was put on earth to help others out and make a positive impact on others. My mom had four of her own children and adopted two other children. One of them being my brother’s best friend when he was 15 and the other being my little cousin. She has always had to work many jobs to make sure we have what needed, but she still took anyone in and helped anyone she could. My father had 3 girls and even though it is all girls at my dad’s house, he allows all the neighborhood boys to come over and play. He always has food and drinks out for them while they play basketball on our basketball hoop. My dad helps out at all the school events and helps out other people as much as he can.
The first theory that I connected with from the book was, let me feel what I am feeling. I connected with this because, my mother always let me be expressive. Whether I was in a happy mood or in a terrible mood. When I was in a bad mood, she would always tell my father that I was just expressing my feelings. My father was the opposite of my mother; he was a Marine Corps Major. He usually discouraged acting out your feelings, especially in public. I feel that my mother did a great job at validating my feelings when I was younger. This section states “I am of worth, my feelings matter, and someone really cares about me.” (Lundberg; Lundberg, 2000, p. 354). I truly feel that is how my mother has always made me feel. I feel my father made me feel
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.
My mom supports me. She has not left my side, since before I could remember. She attended my fifth grade, eighth grade, and twelfth grade graduation. She was there for moral support. She has the pictures to prove it. My mother was there for my eighth grade and twelfth grade prom. People are against me and my love for the color black, including my mom. She put her smart remarks, and strong opinions to the side, and supported my decision to wear all black to my last prom. My momma supported me in attending college. This woman did not stop at signing her name. She made sure I got through ‘KHEAA Verification’; I wanted to give up. She applied and received the ‘Parent Plus Loan’. She took off from work, Thursday and Friday, to join me for orientation. While at orientation, she wrote me a letter, to make me feel better when I am missing home. Just when I cannot bare it anymore, she drives one hour and thirty minutes to pick me up. My mom makes sure I have everything, that I need to have a successful semester at the University of West Alabama. She is my best friend because she has and still supports me. She has not missed even the
