My mom has raised seven children including me. She showed us to be honest and caring for one another.

She taught us that in life we will have our ups and downs, that people might not accept us for who we are but she told us to be the young and intelligent person we are. She taught us that people should not like us for what they want us to be but they should love us for what who we are. According to social learning theory children tend to follow their parents behavior (Berger, 2014, P.28). My mom never behaved inappropriately in front of us. She always used words that were kind like when she wanted us to clean our rooms she would say please go clean your rooms. We never saw her mad she always had this big smile on her face that brightens the whole room when she walked in. I had my ups and downs and i didn’t know who to complain to my mom is the only person i have always spoken to she had always given me great advices. when i complained about homework she told me that i can do it! My mom always said take advantage of every learning experience that is available for you, because she said she didn’t had the opportunity to go to school. My mom is a funny person that everyone can get along with she loves to give advices if you ask. Now my teacher has been my role model and will always be!
