Anecdotes #3

I have always seen my mom as the greatest mother that overcomes anything and wont let anyone get in her way. This became truly clear to me when my dads side of the family started to abuse my mom. My parents are divorced and for some reason my dads side of the family especially my grandma really hated my mom. They would always call and say mean and insulting words to her. They even spread nasty rumors that drove most of my moms closest friends away. My mom was devastated because she had helped their family so much that she even gave them her house when she left to come to the United States. Most of the people around her said grab your kids and flee back to Ethiopia to be with your own family. My mom refused this idea completely she said that she came to this country for a reason which is to raise her kids in a land of many opportunities. She was not about to let a mean old lady drive her and her kids away from achieving huge things. When I think about what my mom has done for me it really drives me to do more than the best I can in school. If my mom can take constant abusing, isolation, and hatred then I could surly dominate High School.

Anecdotes #2

My mom was amazed with all the opportunities in the United States. She is always telling me and my sister that we should never take for granted the amazing chances we have as we grow up. My mom grew up in a Christian family with no technology except light. She always dreamed of all the technology and how it would make life so much easier. When she came to the Airport she was even amazed with the doors that open automatically. Every single aspect in the streets and the homes was startling to her. She learn from a young age that even the littlest things can not be taken for granted. Each day she is committed and devoted to raising her kids into seeing that life in its self should not be taken for granted. Growing up the way she did and coming to the United states really generated these ideas of being devoted to each thing you have.

Anecdotes #1

My mom has always been a great mom. She came to the United States with my sister and I in 2003. Although it was a big change having to move across the world she adapted pretty well. I even remember when she carried me on her back when we first came from the airport because I fell asleep. My mom went to two different schools trying to learn English. She would go to school from one to three and take another class from four to six and go to work from seven to twelve o clock. I have never seen any one that studies as much as my mom studies. Even if she didn't have to study she would stay up all night trying to understand every thing in the book and now she speaks English as well as me. My mom told me that moving to the United States was not easy because she was so used to Ethiopia. She had lived in Ethiopia for thirty six years and to get up and move never to live there any more was heart breaking for her. Even though she knew that she would miss her family she was dedicated to finding a better environment and education for me and my sister.

The thing I want people to know when they read this story is that my mom is a great mom that is very dedicated to every thing she does. She is not only dedicated in raising me and my sister, but she is also dedicated to her work. She has dedicate her whole life to being a mother and thinking of me and my sister rather than her self.
