Ignorant to Educated
Disliking my mom was easy. There is most definitely a story behind it that I typically don’t share. Nobody just goes through life saying, “Hey, your name is (insert name), I don’t like you.” No, that’s not how I was raised. People have common sense (for the most part), reasons, and thoughts. And being upset with my mother was immature of me to say the least. Up until the summer of 2015, I didn’t like my mom one bit. I could hardly stand being in the same room as her, my body just begging myself to leave.

Disliking her job here in Iowa, being a dentist’s assistant sounded like a life changing experience that she took advantage of. I had finally understood why she did what she did, and I understood the way I acted was ridiculous.
If something makes somebody truly happy, they should do it for themselves. They shouldn’t do it for anybody else then themselves, and that’s what my mom did. She did what she thought was best for her, and I have learned to respect her decision. God has a plan for everybody, good or bad, major or miniscule, there is always a reason. From this experience, there is something that I will always remember: “if God brings you to it, he will bring you through
