My mother is a very strong and successful woman. She is the most important person in my life. She isn't just another woman. She is extraordinary. She is the most influential person who inspires me. My mom is not only a very good mom but also a very good daughter in law too. I would be lost without my mom. She tried a very hard work to take care of my family and my grandfather.
Life was so hard after the war in my country. The economic was depressed. Everybody lost their jobs. A couple months after the depression, my dad lost his jobs too. My mom tried to looking for many jobs. She didn't care about how hard of the job was as long as she could earn money to support my family. Finally, she got a job; it was a seller in a bakery. She worked 56 hour for a week. My mom started her job around 1 o'clock in the afternoon and she finish at 9 o'clock in the evening. At midnight, she went to sell the bread in the parking place or on the sidewalk to earn more money. The more money she earned, the more food she bought to feed everybody in my family and to pay some bills. She had to work hard to take care of us and save money for us to go to school. School fees in my country are very expensive. My sister and I always used the old books from my cousin but we were happy because we could go to school. Every school year, she was more depressed but she still tried many ways to earn money to keep us in school.
While she was working two jobs, she also took care of my dad's father like a daughter. He had a heart attack, he wasn't able to do everything by himself after he got sick. He couldn't walk or sit either and he just lay in bed all the time. My grandfather had 9 children and 25 grandchildren but no one wanted to take care of him or help my mom. They didn't like to take care of sick people who gave birth to them. I have two older sisters and one younger sister. In that time, all of us were little and she had to cook and do everything in the house. All day long, she took care of my grandfather and all of us. My mom tried so hard to do everything by herself. Nobody helped her, even my aunts or my uncles who had a lot of time but didn't want to come to my house to take care of my grandfather. My younger sister and I helped her sometimes to give my grandfather a shower or feed him when we didn't have school.
Time was by so fast. We were grown up by her fatigue. My sisters and I appreciated about what did she does for us.
My mom isn't a famous person or a rich person either but in my eyes she is very successful. She is all my life. She was the greatest mom I could ever had in my life and a good daughter in law. When I looked at everything she did for us, it taught me how to love family. I want to become a mother like her. I want to take care of my children and give them all my love.
