Personal Narrative: My Mother Ellawee Washington

My Mother Ellawee Washington, she is the reason for my being. I watched her daily struggle to raise five children and never a word that we were not going to make it. My dad was killed when I was barely 8 years old, which left her a great responsibility. My mother is my love, advisor, mentor, cheerleader, and motivator. Every Mother’s Day I would tell the stories of how my mother took care of me even into my adult life and she replies I did not do it by myself; God led the way for me to take care of my children. I can never repay the price for having such a great person in my life. I admire pastors, ministers or people that preach the gospel. I admire them because of their calling to speak over mankind. They are bold enough to go anywhere
at whatever the time of day or night and anointed enough to know god is a way maker. I admire my professors in the Social Work Program. I love their motivation to help me when there is a confusing in the course of study or project. Mr. Robbins will do all he can to help us understand an assignment. Mr. Caldwell is awesome, he teaches us that no answer is a bad answer, but sometimes it takes a little thought before you answer and Mr. McCloud, thanks to you now I know where I am going, and I know how I am going to get there. I learned that goals can be achievable when you write them down.
I admire my colleagues in the Social Work Program. I am inspired by their wit to want to become an advocate for mankind. We study together, and we make sure we are prepared for the next class assignment because success is what we all are seeking. I enjoy being a part of the Social Work class of 2016.
I admire my grandparents, who set an example of how I am supposed live and let live. I am so glad they helped nurture and shape my foundation for life. My grandmother would take us to a sick person’s house to clean. I did not understand why she wanted us to clean someone else’s house, but what she was doing was teaching us how to help people when they were in need. I am thankful to have had such a wonderful influence in my life.
