Friends and family play an important part in our lives and make us who we are today. One of the biggest influences in our lives can be our own family. If I had to pick one person who has had the greatest impact in my life it would be without a doubt, the woman who had me. She’s taught me everything I know, she taught me how to eat right and dress myself, to how to react to any situation. She taught me little things like how to tie my shoes and to be polite and respectful to adults. I would be lost without her, I can trust her, and she’s very important to me. Here’s why, first of all, she listens to me.
When I have no one else to talk to and I’m going through stuff she’s always there, she’s always been here for me. She’s my security blanket. No matter how bad of a day she had, she will always be there to listen to me. I talk to her about everything, even things that aren’t always easy to talk about. I know that whatever I tell my mom she’ll understand, and that she won’t go letting other people know, she might get upset about it at first but she’ll comprehend. No matter the amount of times you screw up, your parents will always learn to forgive you and are always going to love you the same way.
That’s something I’ve had to learn the hard way, but my parents were always there Even when she’s had a bad day at work and things aren’t going her way she still somehow finds the time to sit down and talk to myself and my brother, she always makes time for us. She puts up with my mood swings, my constant chatter, nonstop requests, and still manages to keep our home, and everyone in it, in order. She always manages a way to calm me down when no one else can. Whenever something becomes too much for me to handle on my own, she’s always there helping me through it and making up a game plan.
She always seems to have the answer to my problems. No matter what the situation is she always makes me feel better. And she does this all with a smile, even when I forget to say thank you. This woman loves me so much that I sometimes get frustrated at her for not letting me make my own decisions, but she knows what’s best for me. A parent always knows what’s best for their child. And that honest stinks because I don’t always agree with their decisions but you just have to honor your parents and do what they ask you to. We have our moments, it’s not all nice and peachy all the time, and we definitely have our ups and downs.
But it’s just a matter of knowing how to apologize. Her love is unconditional, so she is forgiving. One of the great things about her is that she understands that I’m my own person, I’ll always be her little girl, but I’m a young women now and right now I have to focus on myself and think about my future and what I want to do with my life. I have to be a little selfish right now. And she forgives because she understands that. She’s an adult, and she’s been there. It can be hard to remember sometimes, but it’s something I won’t forget. She’s a good Influence, she is always encouraging me to reach my full potential.
She supports me and always encourages me to go after my dreams. She has taught me what is right and what is wrong, and what I should do when I make a bad decision. She is always a voice of reason in the back of my head, which helps me get through my bad days and make my good days even better. Most of all, she teaches me how to be compassionate and loving. It’s important to have someone like that in your life; it will help you become the best person you can be. Since our families are there with us from the start, they know everything about us and they’re the ones who truly help shape our values and personalities.
