An inspirational teacher in my life would have to be a women by the name of DeAnna Crossland. She is my loving hardworking mother who cares for me and struggles raising her only child as a single parent. My mother is around 5’1 with a medium build, brown hair, blue eyes and a warm smile. Although she is very loving, she is also very strict as her dad was to her. Overall, she is the best mother I could ask for.
The story begins back when I was 10 years old. I was bestfriends with a kid named Cooper who lived only about two houses down the street from me. We would go to each other's houses almost everyday and just play and mess around for hours on end.

“You’re just mad because I’m actually good”, I jabbed right back.
Cooper then got very angry and I could see tears in his eyes. He then threw the ball in the yard and ran back inside crying. When he went inside I left too, but I had a sinking feeling of regret in what I had said. I then thought about what I would do without my bestfriend and it made me feel really lonely/. When I got home I started to cry like Cooper and ran to my room. My mom heard me and decided to follow me to see what was wrong. I told her about the things I said to Cooper and how I felt bad about it. At the time I was more worried about a punishment than actually being sorry. Instead of punishing me she left me with the advice. “Treat others how you want to be treated,”she told me. I took those words to heart.
Now that I’m older, I still think about those words my mother told me even today. What she said makes so much sense. If I didn’t want Cooper to say those words to me, why then would I say those words to him. My mother is still in my life and I look up to her daily. Other people should pay attention to this because it is applicable in everyone’s life. If it changed the way I act, it can change the way others act
