Recommended: The effect of bad parenting

“Mommy!” is what my four-year-old self would scream every afternoon when I got picked up from daycare. Throughout life, you come across a strong, influential person that leaves a powerful impact on our lives—luckily for me, I came across such a person from the beginning of the journey of my life. My mother, Sara is a standout amongst the most moving individuals throughout my life and what makes her so uncommon is that she appears to have no clue how motivating she is. Smart, ambitious, patient, strong, independent, and resilient all reflect her character. My gratitude towards her is indescribable, but the characteristics and traits she has passed down to me my whole life, has molded me into the person I am today.
In those same Daycare days, I drew pictures of my mom and dad. It was them standing in a yard with a house sitting in the distance. It wasn't our home, and my mother resembled anybody but herself; wearing green, with green hair and a green look on her green face, both of my drawn parents stood front of a green house bounded by—well, green grass. Either I had an imagination, or a …show more content…

She was on her own during college, and paid for her own tuition for as long as she could. My mom is the hardest working person I know, and I am constantly amazed at what she accomplishes, even when she raised 3 kids. My brother, sister, and I didn’t have my mom there to cater to our every move. I know now that when my mom told me to do house chores before she took me to a friend’s house and I threw a fit, she was just trying to teach me how to be responsible and work for the things I wanted. Thus, learning the importance of determination and resilience from a working mom enabled the young girl I was to grow up and see the value of hard work and as a result I want to mirror my mom’s worth

    It seemed like a normal day when I entered Mrs. A’s AP Language and Composition class, but little did I know that she was going to assign a very important project that was going to take forever. I took my seat and wrote down what was on the board. Then I sat patiently and waited for Mrs. A to come explain what we were doing today. When the tardy bell rang, Mrs. A glided into the room and gave us all a stack of papers. She then proceeded to discuss our upcoming assignment, a memoir. As she explained the very important assignment, I wondered whom I would write about. No one really came to mind to write about and I thought for sure I would never be able to get this thing done on time. I finally decided that I would write in on my mother, Kari Jenson. I knew I would probably put the project off until the very end and do it the weekend before even though it would get on my mom’s nerves. Putting work off was just how I did everything, it worked for me. When I arrived home from school that day, I told mom about the project. I told her I would most likely write it about her and she was overjoyed.
