My Mom Rocks (by Lilia Cornelio)

May 10, 2009

Mother, daughter, wife and woman – these are just some of the words that would help me describe who my mother is to the world but, honestly, I’ve used broad terms to describe my mother because she is still a mystery to me. I’ve never had the opportunity to know my mother very well because she has to work in another country to provide the necessary finances that support the lifestyle that I have gotten used to. She left when I was still young but she would make quarterly visits back to the Philippines to see me. Most parents would condemn her for leaving me when I was still a child, but I’m proud that she even has the courage to take the road most parents wouldn’t even think of taking. My education, the clothes on my back, the well-maintained life that I now enjoy are all because of her sacrifice to give me a better future. These all directly contributes to my growth and well-being as a person. The dignity that I now experience is because of the fact that she made painful sacrifices to give me a world where people respect who I am as a person.
