My Mother
As I began to think about who has had the most significant influence on me, I began to think about all the people that were part of my academic career. Then I realized that I was looking at the wrong part of my life. I should not have focused on the people that have influenced me in the academic aspect, but the one person who has influenced me the most every day. My mother has the greatest impact on my life as a whole.
My mother’s loving, caring, thoughtful, gentle, and persistent nature has shaped me as the person I am today. Though I can only hope to have her thoughtful personality one day, I am still thankful for her love and guidance. She is a constant example for me throughout my life. I have watched her as she struggles to take care of our family through the bitter and sweet. She has showed me persistent love towards my brothers, fathers, and other family members. Even when she was diagnosed with cancerous tumors, that made her weak and nauseous, she was able to show the characteristics of a leader who brought our family together. I seriously cannot comprehend the tremendous amount of time and strength she has to support a family of five as a full-time housewife. She is always telling us to get ready for class, school, and always keeping us prepared. She required a tremendous amount of strength to keep normality in our life yet battling her chronic disease. My mother has clearly shown me that with determination and persistence, one can accomplish anything. Even when she was under a lot of stress from home, friends, sickness, and family, my mother was determined to take good care of us and guide us to be good and moral people. As the years passed, there were incidents where the tensions grew between my mother and me. As an adolescent, I became rebellious, and often questioned my mother’s decisions and choices. However, now as I look back, I realized she always wished for the best with her decision. She wanted me to be a better person, one that loves,
