Personal Narrative: My Mother's First Words

Improved Essays
My little brother Josh would always use to say his “m’s” with his “w’s”.
He was 5 years old. First off let me point out that he didn’t said his first words until he was three? My mom and my dad were very concerned for a while. Mostly of course it was my mom that was always freaking out. One time she was so concerned that she had like a specialists check on Josh. The specialists just said that he’s just a late bloomer. So my mom sort of calmed down for a while, but on August 6, 2005( I remember this date because we went out to dinner and everything) my brother said his first word which was ( drumroll) “Celeste”. Celeste is my older sister’s name and I’m not surprise. She would always be near him repeating her name, engraving it in his mind. My mom was so discouraged. She never had any of us say “mom” for our first words’. Mine was “chubby”, Celeste’s was “dad” and now we have Josh saying “Celeste”. Nevertheless we were still happy that he finally said his first words.

As of you may have guessed it, he couldn’t pronounce his “m’s” right. You’re probably thinking, “Wow, his mom was probably devastated!” Well my friend you were right. Every night my mom would always try to get Josh to say mom right.”say momma, Joshua Bo Montano.” My mom pleaded. “.....Wwaammma..” Josh said. “No! That’s not how you say it!” My mom cried out. I knew I had to do something. They were gonna put Josh in a speech class. I told them it was a bad idea and it would’ve made him feel “different” from others. So instead of speech class, I was going to take matters in my own

    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 was born in San Francisco to a single mother, and I have never known anything different. My mother provided an incredible life for me, for which I am eternally grateful. At the age of eleven my mother decided it would be financially best to relocate to Casper, Wyoming, where she would have the help of her family to raise me. Although the move was extremely difficult for both of seeing that we created friendships and bonds with people that we would no longer see as often, my mother has never made a decision she didn’t think was best for both of us. My mother always puts my well-being first which has given me my love of helping others.…

    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.…
