My mom has been there for me no matter what. I hope that one day, I can be as strong as her. She has struggled trying to raise my brothers and I since she was a single mother. I am glad that I have a mother like her, because at times may not like her decisions, but I know she try's to do her best. If it weren't for my mom my life would be messed up because she encourages me to do what's best. I hope that I don't make the same mistakes as my mom did and that I make better choices. My mom has taught me right even though the people I grew up with are slipping and going down the wrong path, I am still looking forward and trying to do whats right. Yes I may slip up and make mistakes, but I'm a human we all do. Even if I slip up I always find away back, and though I didn't always get the things I wanted my mom taught me to be thankful for what I did have. For this I am lucky to have a mom who cares so much and who truly loves me.
In the poem " Our Son Swears He Has 102 Gallons of Water in His Body," the son seems to think he knows everything and that everyone else knows he is right. Then in the end the dad stats, "Instead of carrying giant waterfalls inside, we’re streams, sweet pools, something to dip into with an old metal cup, like the one we took camping, that nobody could break." Which shows that the son shouldn't feel like he knows everything and that sometimes he should just flow with the rest of the crowd. I feel that many people who think they know everything should sometimes do less talking and more listening so they can realize how much they really didn't know.
I really liked how you talked about your mom. It is hard to not get everything you want, but it is good to just take a minute and think about what you already have and be thankful for it. I think lots of people forget to do that and constantly just want and want and want more. They never appreciate what they have. It takes a lot to be a single mom but it helps when you show appreciation and show her that you’ve learned and become stronger yourself.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! I liked how you talked about your mom and how she has influenced you. Most of the time, people are not thankful for what they have. They constantly want more and more. Being thankful for what you have makes you a stronger and better person.
