The person that inspires me most is my mom. The reason I say this is because she’s a
strong black woman and she stands independently facing all odds. She inspires me to be the best
I can be and to always give my all in whatever I’m doing. Whenever I need something, all I have
to do is ask and I know if it’s possible, she’ll provide it.
It’s always been like that with her and not with just me, but all of my brothers. I think the
reason we may act uncivilized when dealing with authority is because we know we have a
mother who’ll bail us out 9 times out of 10. If I didn’t have her, I would probably be a drop out
because I wouldn’t have anyone in my ear telling me to get my grades up. My mom tells me
what to do and she means just that. She has her flaws like every human does but they aren’t easy
to spot in her. We’re not rich or close to it but from everything I have you wouldn’t be able to
tell. I never go without anything I need or in a lot of cases, anything I want. I know she would
give me her last dollar. For example…if my mom and I both wanted a candy bar and she only
had two dollars on her, without a doubt she would buy it for me. She thinks of others before
herself a lot and that could cause people to try to run over you but not with my mom.
My mom is very smart and she pushes education to the max in my household. When I
bring home bad grades I know it hurts her just as much as it hurts me, maybe a lot more actually.
I always use manners and that’s because she tells me that education and respect will take me far
in life. And that it would make people respect me. I want to be an R&B singer when I grow up
and my mom tells me I can be anything I want to be. I don’t know if she really believes that or if
she’s just saying it because it sounds good, but I know that that’s the kind of motivation I need.
If I don’t have any support from anyone else, I know I’ll have some from her. I can count on my
mom for anything. If I was to fall from a plane I’m willing to bet any amount of money my
mother would be there to catch me, not letting a strand of my hair touch the ground. I’m not
