My Biggest Inspiration By: Lexi P. L.A. 3-4

My mom is the biggest inspiration in my life. She helped me become the person I am. There are a copious amount of reasons my mom is my biggest inspiration and these are only some.

One reason my mom is my biggest inspiration is that she is always cheering you on. Whatever and whenever anyone does something she is in the stands. For example, one time I had a cheer competition and I was really scared, so my mom was in the cold, silver, stands the whole time even though it was FREEZING outside, she snuggled up in a thick blanket like she was a taco and gave me the confidence I needed. Also, I recently had my Thoroughly Modern Millie try-outs, and she told me that I could do it and that I was great. She made me feel SO much better. Last but not least, my mom comes to ALL of my plays and she sits in the audience telling you how great you’re doing. It is great to have a mom that cheers you on whenever and wherever.

My mom is an extremely helpful person. I remember one time when she helped my grandpa in a very big way. My grandpa has a disease called Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s is when someone doesn’t remember things like people’s names or there ages like other people can. He was suffering and needed help. So my mom heard about the Alzheimer’s walk and quickly decided to do it. She brought my whole family and raised money for my grandpa and other Alzheimer’s patients. She walked in the windy weather and walked around the tough track over and over again. She helped my grandpa by raising money to get the medical attention that he needed. Also, my mom’s friend has breast cancer and she walked for her and raised money for her friend in need. Another time my mom had a friend that was going through really hard times with her family so my mom bought her a plane ticket so she could come out and my mom could help her get through it. She sat and talked to her for hours and gave her brilliant ideas. Those are only some of the ways my mom helped someone in need.

Last but definitely not least, my mom is not a quitter and she is the most patient person I have ever meet. One reason my mom is not a quitter is because one time my mom tried out for a job at Rock Canyon, but she didn’t get it. So instead of just giving up she decided to keep trying and she ended up getting the same job she wanted but just at another school. Also, my mom is very patient when she helps my sister and I do homework. When we get frustrated and yell, she stays patient and keeps working with us. She sits at my round table calming us down while she try’s to help us. Lastly, my mom is patient because she has to take care of 2 stubborn dogs that tear up the house, 2 wild kids that always leave messes and ask for help 24/7, and a very stressful job that requires her to help high school kids get through their problems even though she has her own. And my mom stays patient even thought it is hard to. These are only 3 of the millions of ways my mom is very patient and not a quitter. As you can see, my mom is an amazing person. She is patient, helpful, and always cheers you on. My mom is the person I want to grow up like. She has made a HUGE impact on my life. Those are only some of the reasons my mom is my biggest inspiration.
