What Does My Mom Mean To Me

My mother is one of those selfless people,who, through her everyday actions, always has a positive impact on my life. From the wise advice given from time to time to the small lectures imparted when I do something "wrong" she proves that her own life experiences have helped her to make me a better person than she was at my age. I moved to the U.S. from my native El Salvador in my early youth, and had difficulties due to my inability to speak any English. This, my mother taught me, was a moment to prove my true potential and ability to adapt and succeed. The first time I went to school, at the start of my second grade year, it was tough for me to try to be social since I didn't know how to interact. I was not experienced at being outgoing

The new way of life created a feeling of isolation in me. This was especially tough, because not only did I have to live through common children dilemmas, I had to try and reinvent myself to succeed in this country. Due to this, my parents, especially my mother, shared with me their faith, to try and create a relationship between me and Jesus Christ. This relationship would help me persevere through the toughest times in a new country, while forging my personality and my way of being. My mother has constantly demonstrated the role of a faithful, devoted Christian, who tries to stay true to her faith, no matter the circumstance. I am fondly reminded of the nights where she would read me bible passages, which would intrigue me, while forging a greater connection with God. Because of her love for God, I was also able to meet the Lord's Gospel and now have that joy in my heart. Becoming a Christian has made me the person that I am today, old-fashioned, but intriguing. This has allowed me to strive to be the best older brother, the best academic leader, and the best servant of Christ that I can be. This love is consequently brought back to my mother, who, by staying true to her beliefs, has instilled this way of being into my heart. I thank God for having given me this wonderful, sacrificing mother, and I thank her, my mother, for always supporting me and ingraining in me
