You amaze me every day, with all the new things you learn and everything you show me. I enjoy watching you turn into the little person that you are. I think the same when if come to your unborn brother or sister. I wonder what kind of person they will be just like I thought about you. Then I think to myself, how could anyone want to leave this and not be a part of this every day? That is what happened to me. My mother left my brothers and me when we were very young. I was four years old, my younger brother was one and my older brother was eleven. My father raised us, with help from my grandparents, for the next four years. Those four years are kind of a blur to me. I vaguely remember being shipped back and forth every Wednesday and every …show more content…
His name was Prince. He was palomino pony with blonde mane and tail. I loved him so much. On New Years Eve, my dad and Laura was going to take the tractor out and I wanted to go with them, on Prince. It was so cold, I had snow pants, winter coat, boots, hat and gloves to stay warm. Laura said it would be ok to ride him without a saddle. It would be a quick trip. My dad warned me to get away far away from the tractor so it would not spook Prince. I thought I got far enough away, but I did not. When he turned on the tractor it scared Prince. He reared up and a slide of him. He circled around quick and as I was sitting up her ran right over me, catching my forehead with one of his hind feet, knocked me back down. My dad carried me up to the house. I had a bloody nose and huge bruise on my forehead. Laura caught up with Prince and put him away safe in his stall. I rested for the rest of the evening. My dad and Laura were going to a New Years Eve party that night, before they left they sat down with my brothers and I. We all thought they were going to tell us to listen to my older brother, bed time, the regular things they told us when they left for the evening. But this night was different. My dad asked us how we would feel if Laura never left. We all looked at him confused. Then he asked what we thought about them getting married. We were ecstatic! A pretty horrible day turned out to be a pretty amazing …show more content…
Without her, who knows where we would be today. She taught all of us so much. Even though she did not give birth to us she is still our mom. She was there for every basketball, football, and volleyball game my brothers and I played. She took me to horse shows just about every weekend in the summer. Helped my younger brother when he showed his hogs in 4-H. I hope that I am half the mother she is to my children. I speak to my real mom about once every two weeks and that’s if I call her. I talk to Laura everyday even if it is for just a few minutes. I have not seen my real mom in about two years and as sad as it sounds okay with that. Laura makes trips to see me and I go home as often as possible. I have a great relationship with person who raised me and shaped me into the person I am today. I could never leave my children and not be a part of their
Contrary to my achievements, my first tryst with horse riding wasn’t smooth sailing. Distinct images of the first day at the stable flash before my eyes every time I reflect upon my humble beginning. I was helped on to the horse by my trainer and instructed to take the reins in my hands when suddenly the horse spooked and charged towards the fence. I fell off and lay still; the
The equestrian sport takes time, dedication, and lots of financial support. I never had the same financial advantage as that of my peers, but I made up for it in drive and passion. Only being fifteen at the time of buying my first horse, I was at a loss with very little experience. Nevertheless, my spur to be as accomplished or even more so than the riders around me compensated for my lack in finances.
You came into my life and changed me forever. Over the years people have complimented me for being a good mother but I can't take credit for that. You were born good and you were the one who was often teaching me. I believe you are an angel God sent to teach me. You taught me love. You taught me honesty. You taught me how to forgive and how to be strong. You are the strongest person I have ever known and you gave me strength when I was weak. When times were sad and tough I looked to you for strength. You taught me how to be myself. Most of all you taught me about life and how to live.
When I read this hypothetical, I think about a “healthy Clydesdale horse” first. It is well muscle and strong. It stands 64 to 72 inches high and weighs 1,800 to 2,000 pounds. In the other hand, I am just a little girl who is about 5 feet and weighs 100 pounds. It means that he weighs 18 to 20 times as many pounds as I. He must be stronger than me very much. Although his hooves are shackled to the ground while his head is held in place with thick rope and even if I am allowed to wear steel – toe boots, I don’t think that I could kill him within 20 minutes. It is impossible for a physically weak person like me. If I were even able to kill him, I would be obsessed about killing an innocent animal. This is very cruel and makes me sad. Moreover,
Some people think of them as animals. Some people think of them as objects. Some people think of them as friends. Then there are the few who think of them as family. Horses have always been like family to humans, except sometimes closer. There are many benefits to owning or being around horses. They come in many different colors. There is a multitude of breeds, also. Additionally, they have a long history with humans. Horses have unique behaviors. Showing horses has been the past-time or even career of many people. Furthermore, caring for horses can be a handful, but is definitely rewarding. Finally, riding horses is not just a hobby or a sport, but an action of your heart. Horses are wondrous creatures that have lived with man or thousands of years.
I was first on a horse when I was six mouths old. My mom held me as we walked around on a horse in our pasture. For Christmas I actually got a little pony that I could take care of. My mom saw that I was getting more and more interested in the horses. For my 4th birthday shes bought me my very own horse.
“Mom, you and I both know I’m right,” that is what I was constantly thinking and/or saying to my mom. It was all fun and games at my birthday party that year. I was given a horse flashlight that I did not know would change my whole future. I know that my flashlight has shaped me into the person I am today, because it gave me a reason to remember my third birthday, it gave me something to argue about for a long while, and it showed me that you always might have a chance to be wrong sometimes. I remember my third birthday party like it was yesterday..
I am very grateful that she helped me how to ride a bike. My first bike was a blue Schwin. I loved that bike from the time it had training wheels to the time I got a new one. We started with the bike in the bike yard and mom would run either beside or behind me holding on and helping me keep my balance. When she let go I would fall and gets all kind of bruises then she would be mad that she let and I got hurt because of it. I eventually got better and we moved out to the street in front of the house, I loved how it felt to ride the bike on the pavement.
When I look at the bride and groom, I feel such a kaleidoscope of emotions. I know that Kari has found her true match and I know that theirs will be a marriage of long standing. My heart is bursting with love for you two today. I know you have a wonderful adventure ahead of you, and with God?s blessing your marriage will last for decades to come.
She also was on the school board at my grade school, was politically active, and was active in our church. Seeing her stand up to error in public situations gave me the strength to do the same. Sadly, I had to fight error in my high school history class. I disputed my religion teacher's position concerning the civil rights movement (just one of many discussions we had that year). But without Mom's example, I would have been silent like the other kids.
She taught me the good and the bad. That whenever something's wrong, I shouldn't beat myself up like mad. Not only that, she taught me to be resilient. My dad is mentally disabled. Because of this, he can`t function and work as properly as the rest
She could explain anything to me and I would understand straight away. She helped a lot for my education and always was there to help. My parents knew that she could teach me and show how hard it is these days and how hard I should work. That is why they always made sure I saw her enough but it never was for me.
Riding horses is not to hard, but there are a few things to consider. Horses can sense when someone is scared, which will cause the horse to spook, and another is riding is a team effort so there has to be trust. Balance is major especially when the horse is running across the field and it becomes a little difficult to stay one do to the bouncing of the horse. There are techniques for riding, but you have to find which one works for you, it is kind of like trial and error. The smells will stay with a person for a long time, for example, the smell of the leather saddle, dust from the
My mother was not only worry and take care of me, she always by my side when I need her help. I felt sad, my mother always by my side to talk and to console. While I am glad, my mother is always been there to share and listen to me. When I failed to do something, my mother who was gave me advices. She has always supported me in all my choices. She tried to make me strong people with independent minds. I looks to her in hopes that someday I will be as happy, as strong and as well as
All in all, my mother has had a great impact on my life. She encourages me to always grow and blossom into a better person each day of my life. No matter what happens in life, she has taught me to have faith and keep a smile on my face because better days will come. She’s been supportive and makes sure that I continue to prosper. Also, she has helped mold me into the young adult I am today and the success adult that I am sure to be in my future. My mother has greatly affected my life and for that she is greatly
