My mother is the most influential person in my life. It took
most of my teenage years to realize finally that my mom molded
me to be who I am today. Despite being a career woman, she
always had time for us and never failed in her role as a mother.
She is that kind that would always insist and ensure that we
spend quality time together as a family; she is the family’s
backbone and nice and also displayed her generosity character
to other kids in the neighborhood especially in academics. She
multi-tasked the duties as a mother, friend, teacher, and my role
model in my teenage years.
Considering her position as a role model and a mother, it
reminds me of Charlotte Bronte's Villette quote, “also, she
provided to me her original character of studying, certain
virtues, admiring passion power and her feelings to trust.”My
mother’s character was displayed in her virtues of self-sacrifice
and dedication as a wife, mother and career woman.
She evidently portrays her true principles by believing in us
despite the hardship and difficulties surrounding us as children.
Each of us is given a particular attention by creating time to
listen to each of us and also helped me to go through the
teenage process especially in choosing friends. Despite this, she
kept encouraging me and assured me that everything will be
ok.Her virtues were extended to a neighbors’ child who had
been neglected and needed special attention due to her difficulty
in following the school curriculum and speech difficulty.
In spite of this, mother always believed that she will recover
from those setbacks. Most time, she dedicated herself to
educating her and attending therapy classes to help her. She did
all these without complaining even once and always sacrificed
her free time to help her. I admire her ability to take care of the
poor girl and us and have always been there for me despite her
tight schedule and more so her never ending love for every
person she interacts with.
Just as John Stuart Mill stated in his quote, to love your
neighbor as you love yourself constitutes an ideal perfection of
utilitarian morality. And finally just like Aristotle, happiness
will always lie in a virtuous activity, and there is more
happiness in the best activity done which must be
contemplative. My mother is so influential in my life and also
acts as my role model.
