When people think of their mothers some think of memories, traits, or even looks. When I think about my mom I think about her work ethic, her love for family, and her constant support.
My mom is one of the hardest working people I know. She never gives up and would always tell my siblings and me to do the same. One memory I have of her is all the many times she would be up late sitting in the dim glow of her laptop working on her masters degree. It took her 2 long years and many late nights but she got through it all while balancing her job as teacher, a mother to 4 kids, and a wife. She also tries to instill that value in her children. One night when I was purposely procrastinating practicing playing the flute and regretting signing up to …show more content…
I remember times when my siblings and I were little and so sick, like lying in bed and can 't move sick, and she would come in and stroke our backs and give us our medicine on time. I remember seeing her through groggy eyes sitting in a chair in our dark room to stay up in the late hours of the night just to make sure our fevers went down. Later in life she would tell me there was no worse feeling to a mother than when her child is sick and there is not much she can do about it. When we moved to Georgia our family had to be split up. My dad, brother, and I moved down to Georgia. My mom and two sisters stayed up in Pennsylvania to sell the house. There wasn 't a night where my Mom forgot to call and tell my brother and me good night and that she loved us. I remember when I would call her blubbering with tears streaming down my face because I felt like things weren 't going well at my new school or I was homesick. She would always listen to what I had to say and tell me that I had to keep trying. not give up, and always try to make the best of my situation. It is now one of the pieces of advice I use when things get …show more content…
From soccer games and swim meets to trying new adventures, camps, and clubs and even more serious decisions like college she has always supported me or helped me find what 's right for me. I remember spending early summer days with her and my siblings hunched over at the kitchen table browsing the summer camp catalog trying to find the camps we wanted to take. I remember hearing her voice cheering us on at a swim meet even though she probably could have kicked our butts if she was our age. More recently I remember all the college visits we spent together trekking all over the campuses and afterword hearing if she thought it would be a good fit for me. She is someone that I can always come to when I make decisions for sometimes harsh judgement but always love and support in the end.
My mom is not perfect but I can think of a million and one ways she is the best mother to me. Her work ethic, support, and love for her family are just some of the many that make the list, and it 's a list so vast that I don 't think I 'll ever stop
