Mother
When I began to search and think about an African-American that has inspired me, my mother is the first person that comes to mind. My mother has been the biggest inspiration in my life. Everything that I am today is a result of the influence and the life lessons that she has taught me. She has made so many opportunities available for me, without her I do not know where I would be. My mother is a very inspiring person; the reasons for this are countless. For example, when I decided to run for Student Council and I didn't think I could make it, but my mother was my biggest motivator. My mother has been through many hardships through her life and throughout it all she has become a strong, loving, and wise woman who still manages to smile. My mother is an independent woman who takes the responsibility of her family and she does a great job of guiding my sister and me. Because of her hardworking and promptness my mother would wake up early some morning just so she could earn a little extra money. The things I have learned and will continue to learn from my mother are endless; she has taught me all the important principles of life and for that I am thankful. Through all odds no matter what destruction life has thrown at my mother she never once admitted defeat and she has always presented herself as a strong black woman. My mother has always been there for me even when no one else was and she has sacrificed a lot to offer for me and my sister. So, I just make one silent promise to me and to my mother; that I will get my education and be the best I can be and when I reach a point where I feel like giving up I will just think about my mom and how she never gave up and. That will be the push that I will need to be that successful teacher and able to take care of my mom liked she took care of me. my mom inspires me she will always be my hero I love her
My mother is the most important person in my life. I have been mentioning her in almost all of the essays I write. The

    My inspiring role model is Martin Luther king as he showed the world that anything can be achieved with a dream. His dream was to break the chains that imprisoned black people, restricting them from doing everyday things in everyday life such as using public toilets, travelling on the bus and even going to the cinema, without being sectioned off by the white people. Unfortunately, this gave white people a much bigger advantage over the black people and often, police were ‘one sided’ and occasionally arrested black people for the littlest of things that mostly weren't even criminal offences. But there was an advantage to all this as this was fueling Martins dream to end segregation as his hopes became higher to achieve what he had dreamed for and to many people such as I, look up to him as a role model who has inspired many. Regrettably, the other black people do not think like him as he thought outside the box and he did not believe in violence, as using violence against violence didn't stop it, it simply extended it and his use of not using violence is the main reason why he is has inspired me as a motivational role model and because of this, he has earned his name in history and a place in society. At the very moment of what sparked his dream to end segregation was when he was only a child and where he was bullied because he was black. After that point, he realized that he had a massive responsibility as a leader and a role model for millions. 28th August 1963, outside Washington DC, where a 17 minute speech changed history forever. The 4 words that had changed many people and their views on black people as the awe inspiring words of “I have a dream” made the president realize, the words that made the entire American population realize, the words that made me realize that dreams can come true. Even after 50 years, his words will inspire us to achieve greater, the words that broke the chains that held black people from preventing them from doing anything. During…

    Mother and Role Model

    Sometimes we come across a strong, influential person who leaves a powerful impact in our lives. Luckily for me, I came across such a person from the very beginning of the journey of my life. My mother who taught me to walk my first steps, who danced and sang to me crazily just to see me smile, the one who has always been there for me as my support whenever I needed one, is my role model and has made an unforgettable impact in my life. Her perseverance gives me an inspiration to work hard and get the most out of my life. It gives me a goal to make her proud of her daughter the same way her daughter’s proud of her. Although my mother’s life story has influenced me positively, it isn’t the only way my mother has affected me. She has always been that I can be. Even through the troubled and awkward first year in the United States, she was the person who I looked up to as a role model, she took every obstacle thrown at her with determination and patience.…

    After our conversation at the car yesterday, I have been thinking and I don’t feel that I want to sit and talk with you. I’m too busy and stressed to have to deal with meeting you so that I can go back over all of the things that you did. If you really can’t understand on your own what happened, then I don’t think I can move forward. For almost 10 years I haven’t lived with you and not once have you made an effort to come and see me, send me birthday presents or Christmas gifts, drive me to any theatre practices, or modeling jobs, or waterpolo, or support me at all in anything that I have done. Never have you made an effort to see me, or talk to me, except send me a text once a year. I lived in Dundas until one year ago and never saw you once, or heard from you. I have never seen you sacrifice for me and that is what you’re supposed to do as a parent, love unconditionally and sacrifice for your children, even if you get nothing in return. You could have sent us something for our birthdays or acknowledged us, but you obviously didn’t think to do that because you knew you wouldn’t get anything in return. Mom has sacrificed her entire life for Keira and I, and does anything she can to help us in every single aspect of our lives. Not just giving us money but she drove me into Toronto every single day after work so I could go to castings, moved so I could finish my school and get good enough grades to get in Ivey, travelled with me and stayed in horrible apartments so that I could pursue something different. She sacrificed for me to be where I am today, and you haven’t been in my life for 10 years, and not because I made it difficult for you to see me, but you just never made an effort. At this point I really don’t care anymore because it is what it is and it’s clear that you don’t think you were wrong because saying “I thought I was doing what was right” is not taking responsibility for yelling at me in the car home from Tournaments and making me feel so nervous…

    The word “mother” means everything to me. I remember when I was little I would always be with my mom and she would always take care of me when I got sick. She taught me how to speak, read, and write sentences; and also taught me how to be a good person. When I did something wrong, she explained to me why I can’t do that. When I have problems with friends in school and I did not know who to talk with, she was the one I could open up to and tell her how I felt. She told me how to solve these conflicts and pointed out how the conflicts started in the first place. Ever since I could remember, my mom is everything for me; doctor, teacher, friend, advisor, and many more.…
