What inspires me..



This woman inspires me to no end. She is my mother, and my life. Everything I do is because of her and for her. She sacrificed so much for me. She had me very young and raised me on my own since my father did not know how to accept responsibility. She is the reason I push myself so hard and make myself achieve my goals, failure is not an option. I live to make her proud, and to know that I am forever grateful for her unselfishness and the life that she gave up to raise me. When everyone else was out partying in their twenties, she was at home, watching Barney with me. She had to make several sacrifices and be extremely strong and know that God would help us make it through anything, even when we thought we wouldnt. I love her more than words could say and would not know what I would do without her. She is my guidance, role model, and best friend.

  1. I really liked reading this. I, too, had my daughters when I was very young (they are probably your age now) and I can only hope they'd say things like this about me. I hope you let your mom see this---it would mean a lot to her

  3. I love what you wrote about your mother, that is so sweet. I can feel the bond you have just by reading what you wrote, you are lucky to have such a great mother and I am sure she is just as lucky and grateful to have you. I hope my kids say the same things about me when they are old enough to do so, because they are what inspire me.
