Many women are absolutely phenomenal; but my mother and my boyfriend’s mother are the most important to me. While the two women share similar traits, they are different in terms of their pasts and paths. The way that they have conducted themselves throughout their lives is absolutely inspiring to me. Both of these women have had to overcome and encounter many obstacles in their life to be where they are today. They live their lives with an all-embracing demeanor of positivity, humbleness, and many other qualities. My mother knows how to be calm, cool, and collected while still speaking her mind when necessary. In addition, I believe that she has the perfect balance between being honest while still remaining classy and unbothered by nonsense.

On the positive side, her unemployment never lasted too long and she is now able to use Uber as an option for a ride when my father or sisters are not available to drop her

Exactly, as stated, all people have different tastes; somebody would prefer to read a book rather watch a movie, somebody would prefer other way round. “The Hunger Games” is a perfect example of story, when the book and the movie are equally breathtaking and unforgettable.

    I’ve seen my mother struggle, but smile through it all. She remained faithful and believed that God would work all things out for her. The amount my faith my mother possesses is amazing, and she has always instilled a sense of religion and spirituality into me and my brother’s lives. The things she have sacrificed for us is unbelievable and I have no choice but to be thankful. She has always stressed the importance of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you, education, hard work, and perseverance. Along with our struggles were some fun times. We would do little shopping errands on weekends at Target and maybe the mall sometimes. She made birthdays and Christmas worth it every year. For our birthdays, my mom made sure we always at least had a cake or cupcakes if we had nothing else. And on Christmas day, she never promised us what we asked for, but somehow she always made sure we had exactly what we asked for and more. I admire my mom for this because she never set us up for a disappointment or a “let down,” and we learned the true meaning of Christmas. My little brother, who is now 17, is a handful. He has always been a character and can definitely get a laugh out of you. Being a big sister, I had to care for my brother at times when we were younger because my mom had to work. This helped surface my independence and reliability. He has helped me become more responsible for my actions and
