Hello there is tons of things that inspire me about my mom. Today I am going to tell you about them. The first three are the most important to me. Some of these examples are hard to explain but others show courage and compassion. Either way these are the thinks that inspire me to be the person I want to be. My mom is always my hero and inspiration.

The first thing that really inspires me about my mom is that she is strong really strong. When I was eight my mom was diagnosed with Breast cancer. This was a very unyielding time for us. She knew that tough times were going to come. She underwent chemo; this caused her to be in a lot of pain a lot. She put a smile on us everyday to show us she was ok even though inside she was in a lot of pain. She always put on a smile for us so she made us happy although inside she is actually in a lot of pain because of the different symptoms. I am now 12 and she is still with us, she is a great mom and she keeps on going even through tough times.

The second reason is she pushes me to do the best I can do everytime I do something. She pushes me to get good grades even though sometimes I don’t. She expects me to be good in school and get good grades. She also pushes me to do my very best in sports too. When I played football and I thought we couldn’t win she told me to keep playing strong and you will win.

The third reason she inspired me is because of how she commits me to finish anything I start. A couple examples were when I joined a football team and they were not goods at all. I wanted to quit but my mom made me stay in because I committed to the team. The second time I played basketball I hated the sport and wanted to quit but my mom wouldn’t let me. I tried everything to try to get her to let me quit but she kept saying NO!

This is why my mom inspires me to do the best I can do. I love expressing this to others so they can see why my family and me are how we are. As you can tell my mom has gone through tough times. She also has made me commit to things I sometimes don’t want to do. She pushes me to do my best too. I can use this later in life to become a great person.
