As human beings, people need to know that
they are not alone because without family members, the amount of support and
love you receive is altered. As a young man I believe that role models and
inspirational figures are important, and in my life I would have to say that one
person is my mother. Personally she will always be a saint, the amount of courage
and hope she has shown over the years is, and continues to, drastically influenced my
perception in life.
I remember being a child and having bad dreams.
The amount of effort it took for her to deal with that was substantial - getting up at
random times at night, running to come make sure everything was alright. This
not only showed me the discipline of getting up when I need to, but the lessons
of patience, kindheartedness and responsibility all tied together. She
would stick it out with me until the “fight” was over, or the dream had ended.
There are super heroes all around us and just because they don’t have a costume, or
cape, doesn’t mean that they haven’t done something for another person “in
need”.
It takes allot of discipline and strength
to raise a child. One day I’m sure I will have to do the same for mine, but it
blows my mind how hopeful and courageous she is. Words cannot explain the
amount of things in life that she has taught me, but I know one thing for sure, along with the mind power to strive even when life puts you down, you must
stand back up!
