her positive influence is her work ethic. Although I am not a hard worker in any way, shape, or form, she drives me to achieve what I want or need everyday of the week. If you want any indication of how hard a worker she is, you don't have to look any farther than her lifestyle. My mom is an early to rise, late to bed kind of person. Between going to work eight hours a day five days a week, she also finds the time to clean the house, cook food, do the laundry, workout, and spend time sewing clothes. At one point, she attended school and worked full time as well.
