My Mom Rocks (by Andrea Juan)

May 10, 2009

What makes my relationship with my mother different is that we have to fit all our drama- the fights, happy and sad moments - into the two weeks in a year that we are physically with each other- if we’re lucky, it can span up to two months but that rarely happens. As a child, I had more freedom than most children my age did. I believe that my freedom stemed from the fact that my mom allows me and trusts me enough to make my own mistakes and learn from them. She sees the importance in falling down and learning to stand up on your own. My mom has always been my idol; she has exuded strength even in the midst of death, pain, separation and loneliness. This is why I believe that contrary to common misconception, a woman should be strong and decisive. She taught me that no matter how huge an obstacle might seem, if I’m passionate enough about something then I can and will get through all the hurdles which I will encounter. This gave me the insight that I am just as good as anyone else, no matter how much smarter, or richer or more influential their families are. She taught me that if work hard enough, if I earn and deserve something, then I’ll get it. It is through her that I realized how unique I am and how I can use this to be the person I want to be.
