Humanitarian Award Research Paper

The Humanitarian award is given to people who go above and beyond expectations to help others, they put others first always with little thought about themselves. My mom fits all these characteristics and is well deserving of the Humanitarian award. My mom is deserving of this award because of the work that she does around the house. Not only does she clean it but with my dad and I's hectic schedule she always makes sure that dinner is made for us. She always goes above and beyond at her job she helps everyone who needs it. She makes sure to put family first she is constantly going over to my grandparent's house and helping them clean, and shovel due to their old age.

When it comes to our family, my mom would anything. She would go to the

moon and back for my dad and I. My dad and I both have crazy work and school schedules. My mom is the only one that works a nine to five job. My dad works for American Concrete pumping and works whenever they need him; sometimes he is gone from six in the morning to nine at night. My school schedule gets pretty chaotic as well. I get up at six and usually don’t get back to my house until seven because I have sports practice after school. Through all of that my mom gets up very early in the morning and wakes my dad up to make sure he is up for work no matter what time it is. Along with getting up early she makes my lunch for me and makes sure that she is done getting ready in the bathroom, so that I can use it when I wake up. She then goes and makes sure that I am up and while I am getting ready she starts making breakfast for me. My mom does the same routine for my dad and I at night, making sure we both have a hot dinner when we come home.

My mom loves her co-workers. She has become very good friends with them and they go out for "girl's nights" often. My mom works at IWI Motor Parts where she orders parts and deals with how much money the company is spending. When one of my mom's co-workers of my mom is sick, my mom will go to her job extra early and do some of their work and throughout the day, she will switch back and forth between her job and their job. Which means she will stay extra late to finish up the work that needs to be done. Her co-workers love this because then they can focus on getting better and not worrying about the work that needs to be done. I can tell that sometimes doing this overwhelms my mom but she handles it with such grace. She doesn’t complain she just works till it is done.

The only thing that my mom values more than my immediate family is her family. My grandma and grandpa are both well into their late 80's and early 90's so that’s hard for my mom to handle sometimes. My mom will go over and visit them often about three to four times a week. Along with going over there if there, is snow my mom gets up early and goes to their house to helps my grandpa shovel. In the summer when she goes over there, my grandma gives her the task of weeding the garden and trimming the bushes at least once a month, and for the past year now, she goes over once a month and helps my grandma clean her house.

These are just a few of the thousands of reasons why my mom is so deserving of this award. She is very kind-hearted woman and played a huge impact on my life. When I grow up, and I am a mom I hope my kids see the kindness and love that I see in her, in me.
