My Inspiration
In our lives there is always a person that we look up to and admire. With that in mind we take examples from there lives and try to make the best of ours. Growing up I had a lot of persons that I strongly looked up to and admired, but the person that made a great impact and left a footprint in my journey of life would be my mother. She was always the person that had a smile on her face when things didn’t seem perfect, or the person that danced when every one else didn’t feel like it. As a teenager I wanted someone to tell me right from wrong, or to direct me onto the right path, and she was the perfect example. She was always there when I needed her the most and never let me down, not even in the smallest moments.
The out standing qualities that she possesses inspired me to be the person I am today. The faith and commitment she has dedicated to being a Christian is encouraging and motivating. She has shown to be the hardest worker I’ve ever known and taught me to do the same. Her goals were met with accuracy and persistence, never left unaccomplished and forgotten. Life wasn´t always perfect for her, she fought a lot for what she believed in and what was right, but despite the blocks she may had had in life she always knew how to get right back on track and be the supporting woman she is and has always been. She found a way to help others when she was the one that needed help, the one that needed a hand and the one that needed a friend, but it never stopped her in the least way; it was like she was my hero in disguise.
The memories that we shared still linger in my head as if it was just yesterday. I could recall the time she taught me how to cook, we had so much fun, she took learning to a whole new level and it was unforgettable. I was punished for my mistakes with ¨its ok¨ and ¨you´ll do better next time, ¨ and I never felt bad in any way. We would go to the mall together and she would explain to me the principals of life, so that I could be prepared for

    My mother has a huge impact on my life. She has faced so many challenges in her life, and she’s amazing for it. My mother, had to stop going to college because she got pregnant with my sister.

    Many times in life, we come across a tough, influential person who leaves a great and powerful impact on our lives. Maybe it is an actress, superhero, family, teacher, or just a stranger who did something that changes your thoughts and decisions about life. Fortunately, I came across to someone who supported me from the very beginning of the journey of my life. That person is my beloved mother, who taught me to walk my first steps, who introduced me to the crazy side of life, and who has always been there for me when I needed her. Ever since I could remember, she has been right beside me supporting any goal I was trying to reach, even when it was incredibly ridiculous to everybody else. When I grow old with my own children, I hope I can be there for my kids, and make an unforgettable impact on their lives the way she did for me.…

    Tribute Speech

    “If you ever wonder why bad things happen to good people, it’s because God knows they’re capable of handling it.” Reading this quote makes me think of someone who was very special in my life, because she was able to handle things anyone else might think are unbearable. That person was my grandma Marilyn Doyle. She had many influences on me, a few are how she had such an open heart, was very accepting, and she was very confident in what she believed in. It’s incredibly difficult to put into words how much she really meant to me. She had a genuine smile, which flashes into my head every time I think of her. She was a very strong-willed, independent, and a loving person. Although I didn’t get to spend as much time with her as I would have liked to, I felt as though we had a very special relationship.…

    Thank my mother for who I am, she inspired the person I am today. I was raised in a very strict environment where there were expectations. Rules, responsibilities, honesty and involvement were all considered necessities. I was introduced to community service when I was 5 years old when I was a Girl Scout. Then later when my late father and I would participate in an annual cancer awareness marathon it was a beginning point for me. So from then on there the feeling of accomplishment to help others inspired me. I’m one who wants people to come to be with their troubles so I can help, I’m the one who wants to reach out and touch others and just inspire.…

    Every time I would come visit her she would have the biggest smile on her face. She did not do a lot of cooking but she could give out a lot of love. She was always there for me when things got a little out of hand. I could hear her now telling me everything is going to be alright. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to get surgery to get her breast removed. But one thing I realized about her was that she was a fighter. She may have had that surgery but she did not let that cancer get her down. As she got older my family decided to put her in a nursing home. I remember all the times I visited her in the nursing home she would always be so proud to tell her nurses that I was her granddaughter. As she was in the nursing home she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Also in 2008, that was the one battle she did not win. That was a devastating year for…

    She taught me the right things in life, also letting me make mistakes so I would learn how to deal with things alone. The moment she helped me through a tough situation, I knew at that moment Monique was my mentor. Her guidance, the encouragement that came along with everything she did. Her warm heart and encouraging words shaped me into the person I am today. There was a quote she repeated many times, sort of a motivation for me, “you can be whoever you put your mind to”. Those few words inspired me to push myself. No matter my decisions she was always by my side, helping me along the way. Her change in positions going from a mother figure to a…

    We were inseparable and always spending time together. I will never forget all my memories with her. The constant sleepovers, the late night phone calls and the time when she just listened and be there for me when I need her. I still remembered when we were fourteen; she threw the biggest birthday party and invited the whole class. We had a ball at her party. I even surprised her by dedicating a song for her at the end of the day. She told me it was the best gift that anyone could have ever given her.…

    A person who has had a significant influence on me is my mom. My mom had to grow up a lot faster than the majority of her friends and not because she wanted to but because she had to. She was only nineteen years old and she was expecting a baby or to be more specific she was expecting me. I’m currently seventeen years old and it’s a struggle just to take care of my puppy who is a lot of responsibility and he is for the most part pretty self-dependent. To take on such a tremendous role at such a young age is incredible.…

    Apart from my parents the person that has always had major impact upon my life is my uncle, Reef. He guided me through everything both good and bad in my life. He was obese because he goes to McDonald’s every single day even if my mother prepare food for us to eat he will still go. He is one of the most intelligent people I know and we remain close even today. I love his partnership, his kids, his family and I consider them my family as well. I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for him. The thing about him was his outlook on life, his positive energy and his unselfishness. He gave so much to the people in his life and I aspire to be that more and more every day. As I grew older, he started to give me more important advice. He would tell me, "Never let anyone get you down" or, "There's always a better way to accomplish something. You just have to find it." I would always listen to his advice, no matter how small it was. He also started to encourage me to find a passion. To him, he wanted to see me do something I would always enjoy and make something out of it. I learned that in life you need someone with experience that can teach you or give you guidance for you to succeed. Without someone important in your life it’s hard for children of our generation to succeed, because most of the kids that live around my neighborhood are dropout, they don’t have that person in their life that can direct them to the right path.…
