The person in my family that I give the most praise to is my mom. She had been my motivation for everything I do. Coming from a family that didn’t have many opportunities she has paved the way for my sister and I to have the things she didn’t have. Single mom and working hard she still has time for my sister and I. My mom has taught me a lot about the hardships of life and love. As crazy as it sounds my mom is my best friend whom I can confide in when ever I need help. Being pregnant at seventeen wasn’t easy for her , but she made it. Because of this big surprise my mom wasn’t able to attend college to be a nurse like she wanted to be because she had to take care of me. My dad has never been around in my life, but my mom has been a mom and a dad to me. For that I give her praise because most people can’t be a mom and a dad to their child. She is my motivation to get up every morning and to continue to stay positive in school. She is my inspiration because she has inspired me to work hard at everything I do. One day I hope to be able to take care of my mom as well as she has taken care of me, and to raise my children the way she has raised me.
