There have been people throughout my life who made a significant impact on me in one way or another.
My mother instilled in me the values of life; she showed me such qualities as endurance, discipline, confidence, determination, ambition, and love. These values and qualities that I have carried with me through my life were the key for my success. My mother has a very kindly heart. I consider her my best friend as an adult. She was always been there when I needed her. She has taught me that patience is an important virtue to learn. My mother taught me more than anyone else, not only inspired me the strength to overcome hardships in my life, but also left me with invaluable life lessons.
My father was and still the most important person in my life. He worked so hard to provide for me the better when I was young, he never said no to me when I wanted something. He is a great and wonderful father; he made me know what true, unconditional love really is. He is my role model in his determination, patience, and ambition. He was and still my greatest support, he has helped me and still helps me a lot with my kids.
My grandmother, even though she is deceased I still remember the things she taught. One of my favorite quotes from her was, “Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself”. She was very encouraging; she uses to tell me never give up even though a mountain is impeding your way. I have unforgettable memories with her, she uses to tell me stories before bedtime, and she always liked combing my hair. I can’t forget the taste of the food that she used to cook especially the bread. I miss her a lot.
My sister is very caring, supportive, and someone to look up too. She is a great listener, and always makes me feel that she is always there for me. She is very honest, she tells me when I am doing something wrong and gives me advices on how to solve my problems. I like spending time with her; she is fun to be around.
My husband, without him I couldn’t do what I am doing now, he is very supportive, he always encourages me to continue my education and helps me a lot with the kids. The family is very important for him; he tries his best to make us happy and to have a secure future.
I would look at other people's relationship with their parents a feel a sense of loss. Don't get me wrong I grew with my mother and my father, but they weren't very involved with my life unless we were going to church. I still remember feeling like I was the one with something wrong and just didn't get it. Your relationship with your mother and father seem to be a close one and one to be cherished. I strive to bring that supportive loving environment to my son and don't want him to ever feel that he is not important enough for me to give my all to and understand that everything I do is for him.
ReplyDeleteYour right! Without our husbands cheering us on we would not be doing this class together. Yeah for them.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to read of the wonderful relationship between you and your parents. So many children in our world today will never know what it means to have two parents that love them. They will not have those wonderful values instilled in them from their mother's like you did. The lessons I was taught from my mother were very different from yours. Unfortunately I learned from her mistakes which was a great virtue in itself. It seems dad's and daughters always have that special connections as you do. I don't know where we would be in this world without grandmother's wisdom and good food but I don't think it would be the same. And the key to sister's is just to try and get along because you are always there for each other. Then again I don't know about you and your sister but there's nothing like a godd old fashion fight between sisters. There's a lot of love in those. Always remember those words from your grandmother and you will go far.
ReplyDeleteA sister can often be a mirror allowing you to look inside your soul. My sister and I love to call each other "Sister" instead of our names. That's how important the concept of being sisters is between us.
ReplyDeleteGrand mothers are wonderful, they are supportive and so caring. In may case, I think the fact that my mother had to go back to work 3 months after my arrival, made my grandmother to be so close to me. I regard her as my first teacher.
ReplyDeleteGrandmothers are special and wonderful. In my case, the fact that my mother had to resume work 3 months after my arrival made me so close to my grandmother. She remains my best friend, teacher and encourager.
