My Mother's Biography

Born in a small town, my mother began her journey through life. His father, a hard working man, raised his eleven children in a very disciplined way. It was from here that my mother learned much of her punctuality. At a young age, she was learned to help her parents to earn a living. After her high school education, because her parents can’t afford her to go to college she decided to go in Manila to find a job. Then she met my father, they fell in love with each other and get married. They had five children, and I’m the eldest. Being a mother of five children is not easy especially when they are still young and does not have enough maturity in understanding the world. I remembered when were still young, she helps my father by cooking delicacies and selling it by going to different houses. But this is not enough because we are growing and our needs also grow. In the year 2008, she went to abroad to work: to earn for our education. I know it’s not easy for her because she will be away with us. Ever since I’m still young, I can see the sacrifices of my mother, that’s why I chose her because she was the one who made a big influence in my life. Through all the hardships she’s been experiencing, she remains kind and strong. She’s very religious, now she’s one of the Pastors of their church in Spain. I remembered when she’s with us, she have given me guidance, even when sometimes I wouldn’t listen. She have loved and believed in me. She have been my friend, my cheerleader, my counselor, my protector, my cook, my maid, my nurse, but my favorite thing she have been is my MOM.
Having a mother like her was the greatest gift and biggest advantage. It is because of the values that she brought in me that made me who I am today. She is truly an amazing person both inside and out and even though she’s away from us, I know I always have a wonderful mother in my life to look up to. I hope that one day in the future I can be half the woman she is. She has given me a great example of how a woman can surpass all challenges and fully succeed in all aspects of life.
