Mark Twain said: “My mother had a slender, small body, but a large heart - a heart so large that everybody’s joys found welcome in it, and hospitable accommodation” That is a perfect quote to describe any mother. If someone asks me who influences strongly in my life, I will say that it is my mother. Even though I have been far away Vietnam for a while, my memories that is for my mother is last forever. My mother’s image that has been instilled in my mind had tremendously helped in my spiritual and flourished my dream.
I was brought up in a middle class family in Vietnam. From my mother telling, I was a weak baby, so my mother always took care of me 24/24. She told me that she was totally upset when she knew my lung disease. My parent had to work hard to earn to pay my hospital fees. I was her first baby and I could feel how the young parents overcame the hard time. I got over my sickness until I was 4. My mother still hoped I could grow up as a normal child. Therefore, any time I got cough, my mother is worried about me. That’s an invaluable gift that I received since I was born.
I would say that my mother is the toughest person I have seen. I remember once my parents’ business went bankrupt. My father stayed at home to manage his machine store soon after his business failed down. My mother was the person who helped all my members of family to overcome those times. Due to shortage of material condition, my mother herself has trained a strong will and ability to deal with difficulty and strongly stood up to start over again. Because of that, my mother never allowed me to give up my dream. She is a brave and confident woman who is the best example I follow up her footsteps. Her attitude and perseverance that she faced struggles have encouraged me to grow up to live the life of an ambitious person. She taught me to respect money which I earn or don’t earn. When I was in Vietnam, I did not understand much about this invaluable life lesson until I has been in US and worked for my friends five hours in a restaurant. I thought my mother doesn’t only has to pay a lot of money for my tuition fee ,but she also raise my two brothers up in Vietnam, I started to perceive how valuable was money which I worked on.
My mother is the wonderful women. I can never thank my mother enough for what she has given me. I sure one day I can make my dream comes true instead of just a dream. I am going to be a person who my mother is proud of.
