What Does My Mom Mean To Me

Improved Essays
Mothers inspire children to achieve any goal placed on them; my mother is no exception. They are the foundation of the millions of children in the world, who look to find support in a being that we call, mom. Although the journey is not always perfect, I, like many other individuals, am forever grateful for the mother that raised me. When I was younger, I was bowlegged, my mother thought it was best to deal with the situation now, rather than live a difficult life full of ridicules and challenges. At the age of two, my mother made the hardest decision any mother could make; send their child away to deal with a medical situation. For three months ', I lived in constant agony from having to wear the braces designed just for me. They were silver …show more content…
(Seriously, I tried writing the list down and lets just say, more than one piece of paper was needed). She has influenced my life to be the best with her constant support, making me hope to one-day come close to being just like her. As I see her get up every morning to go to work, even on the most awful of days, she does her duties for the family she is trying to support. This in turn motivates me to be the best, not for myself, but for my mom. I hope to one day make her proud of the woman I have become, from the choices I have made, to the academic and athletic feats I have accomplished. Each day as my mother rises; I realize the opportunities I was given, that she wishes were present during her time. Opportunities that are stressed on me to fulfill, only for the well being of myself. At times, I never understood her constant support for things that seemed mediocre, and then I realized the reasons for the constant push; she was not so “privileged” growing up. Her youth was set with limits, from her parent to her country, limits she hoped would never interfere with the person she hoped I would one day be. So every task is done with a purpose, to become successful for my mother. Which would one day leave her with no option, but to relax and enjoy the women she helped nourish and

    It was March of 1998; a bitter, cold morning she spent lying in a hospital bed caressing me in her arms. From that moment on, my mother has and always will be my ample motivation. It’s not just an emotional attachment that is brought on naturally by the forces of motherhood, but it is a psychological binding between the two of us that is nearly impossible to explain. The emotional impact of someone knowing more about you than you know about yourself is virtually magical. She has taught me more about my inner-self and the mysteries of the world more than anyone else I have ever met.…

    The next morning, I saw the newspaper while I was eating breakfast. On the front page, there was a story about a young boy who saved a woman’s life. She was going to walk into her house and end herself, but he smiled and waved at her from across the street. He ran over to her and asked her how her day was, in a completely mundane conversation, which led to her talking to him for hours. His mere existence on that day and in that place changed her whole perspective, resulting in her deciding to spare her life for the hope that she could help others like her.…

    A. Autobiographical Statement My mother was the first and only person in her family to graduate from college, which has always been an inspiration to me. She was an abused wife on food stamps, raising two children on her own while my father was incarcerated. I will always remember when she told me that life was like a lotus flower; we may start by growing in the mud but each day we can choose to bloom above the water into a beautiful flower. It was then that I understood my childhood was not my choice, but how I choose to live the rest of my life was. My mother never wavered in her faith that if I wanted to do something in my life the only thing that could hold me back was myself.…

    One day my mom sat me down and told me she wanted to talk to me. She started off talking about how proud she was for everything that I have done and accomplished so far. I told her thank you and that I could not have done it without her always pushing me to be better. Next, she said I am mostly proud of you because you overcame all of the obstacles and disadvantages you had, at first, I did not know what she was talking, about so I told her to elaborate. What she was referring to was the fact that I grew up without my father in the picture, there was no father figure that I had in my life to teach me how to be a man, so I had to learn on my own, I had to always push myself in sports and teach myself how to do things that my father was never there to do.…

    She inspires me to want to obtain bigger and better opportunities for myself; she has displayed to me that I should not settle for anything mediocre, instead I should reach for the stars. I grew up with my mom telling me that if I am determined and put my mind to it, I can accomplish anything. This may sound like something every parent tells their kid, but that’s not the case for me, because my mom acquired her goals from scratch. At the age of nineteen my mom immigrated to the United States from Vietnam, to escape the communist influence. She started out with nothing, no job, no money, and no knowledge of the English language, and was still able to earn her Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Computer Science at Arizona State University.…
