MOM

When we fall, who is there to pick us up? Mom. When get sick, who is there to care for us? Mom. Mothers have always been looked at as the care-givers. Children learn from their mothers and recieve strength from them. I recieved more than that. I've seen with my own eyes the struggles she went threw, I heard the stories of her life. But my mother is the greatest influence in my life.

My mother always wanted me to understand the lessons of her mistakes. My mother never finished school because she had to care for her mother, learning from her mistakes has influnced me to do better i school to make her proud. My mother struggles day-in and day-out to make ends meet, and she never complains. My mother has pushed me to finish school, and now I will be the first of my mother's children to graduate.

My mom has always worked so hard her whole life, and still continues till this day. My mom tells me that she wants me to do better, to graduate, go to college, and have a good career. She pushes me to appreciate the oppurtunities that I have, that she never had. She pushes me to be all that I can be, that "If I put my mind into it, I can achieve anything". She gives me her strength, her wisdom, her confidence, and her love. She wouldn't push me so hard if she didn't love me.

In conclusion, my mother went threw a lot of heartache but she learned from them and gave me important advice. She pushed me to be all that I can be, she told me her mistakes so I can do better. Because of everything my mother does, she is the greatest influence I can ever have.
