Personal Narrative: How My Mom Changed My Life

Decent Essays
When I was home schooled I struggled with school. I couldn’t figure out math I was a bad reader I almost failed because I wouldn’t ask for help. My mom helped me through my work she told me that it was okay to not know and to ask for help. I Would always get mad at my work and it would make it even harder to complete. When I got angry my mom would tell me to calm down take a quick break and try again with a calm approach.

I wouldn’t be where I am today with my school work if my mom didn’t help me I don’t think I would be where I am today. My mom helped me by showing me how to do math problems in my head and helping me to spell if she didn’t do this for me I would be in the bottom of my class. I never really appreciated what my mom was doing

    Mom was small, a slight 110 pounds but through my eyes, she was large, even after my height surpassed hers. To this day, she would argue that she weighed only 100. Her strong presence claimed her space, and anyone else's that she cared to. Being right was of utmost importance to her, and she made sure always to have the last word. Overbearing, and overprotective of me, her only child, she usually controlled every situation, regardless of how trivial.…

    I hate Christmas because nothing is phenomenal. I am not being facetious. I assume that Santa was busy and remiss when he forgot to give me a Christmas gift. Every time I saw other children play with their new toys by looking through the translucent window, I consternated about Christmas, and felt disconsolate. It is a paradox that a rich country should be so many poor people.…

    Without her I honestly wouldn't care about school. She made me understand that school needed to be taken seriously because if I didn't, I was going to end up like my father which right now isn't such a good thing. She was actually the main reason why I signed for T STEM. I saw her going to college because she wanted to see her kids have a better life and I thank her everyday for this. Without her our family would have ended up in the streets a very long time ago.…

    When I first learned of this assignment my first thought was to interview my mom. She is the one person in my life I am closest to. Since we are only twenty three years apart, I thought it would be best to focus on her life up to the point where she decided to have kids. Though I knew most of what she told me it was still nice to just sit and talk about her life experiences. My mother was born to older parents and was the youngest of three children.…

    “If a woman cannot stay home with her children, then maybe she just should not have them!” Natosha Keller, my mother, is a stay at home mom who believes if a woman were to have children, her number one priority should be to take care of her children and not have to worry about anything else. On the other hand there are other mothers who do not have a choice to being a stay at home mom, and they have to work to support their family. Making the decision to stay with your children or join the workforce can be a difficult process. For a lot of parents it is damaging for them to be away from their children for more than a few hours a day, and that is a big reason why we have stay at home moms.…

    Almost everyone will meet, or has met someone in college that has significantly changed their lives. For me, it didn't take long at all for me to meet that person. I met her on our second day of college of our first semester, basically my second day of my entire college career. I didn't realize it right away, but over time I noticed that she was really changing my life. I would have never met this person in high school because first of all she lives in a different town, but even if we did live in the same town, or even went to the same high school, I still would have never known her because I didn't really branch out and make a lot of friends back then.…

    All the things my teacher was trying to teach me didn’t register with me. I needed to find a way to buckle down and do what needed to be done. If there was ever a nail my mother drove into me it was the importance of my school work. I brought the problem to her and she told me too look for help from those who have shown interest in you. She meant in my school, but I soon found myself asking for help from old teachers and counselors.…
