My role model is my mother. She is the most amazing women I have ever met. As a single mother, she raised my brother and me, while working a full time job. She never had any help from any one and always wound up making ends meat.
Since she was seventeen years old (right after high school) she has worked. She moved out of her parents’ house and worked for an airline company where she travelled all over. At this time, most (if not all) of her friends married their high school boyfriends and stayed in the town they lived in, upon graduation. She broke out of the mold and chased after her goals. Meeting my father was like a fairy tale. Although she worked extremely hard her entire life, she became accustomed to an easy, cushiony life style that my father provided her with. The divorce between my parents left my mother with nothing but two children. She did not have a job, money or a house.
My mother is the most loving, hardworking person I know. When times were tough she stuck through them. Always putting her children first, she made sure that we grew up in a wonderful environment with necessities and more. She taught us the value of a dollar and how important it was to work for it. She taught me the difference between right and wrong, and how to be a good person. She has pushed me to be the best I can be and has always supported me. I hope I can become half the woman/mother she is.
