Everyone has an idol in their life, someone they look up to for guidance. For me, that idol is my mother, who has taught so much in the last 18 years of my life. She is the one that has guided me, because as a divorced mother she has struggled to get myself and my two younger siblings the best education. I learned what can be gained from making the right decisions, because you have no other choices when you are on your own. She has taught me to be responsible for my own actions, because she will not always be there to save me. She has also taught how to be a man of integrity. Without her, I cannot imagine myself staying on the path of success.
