During my child hood, I had to go live with my grandmother who I consider as my mom. I use to wonder what it will be like if I go stay with my mother. My grandma always told me her rules are not the same as my mom and I am going to wish I had stayed home with her. I thought to myself what will be the difference between them is. Until one day, I decided to go live with my mother to experience the differences. I found out that my grandmother is totally difference then my mother in so many ways like physical appearance, views about life, and their roles of raising children. If anyone should every meet my grandma or mother, He, or she will see a major difference in these woman. My grandmother always kept here physical appearance up. She was a type of person that always wore dress suits, kept her haircut very short into an afro and made sure we was always well kept dress in nice cloths. My grandmother made sure she maintains a clean home and made us wash the dishes every day. This woman had a strong-minded personality where she would not ask anybody for anything. The lord always came first, she work hard, took care of the bills, and made sure we never was hungry. On the other hand, my mother does not care about how her appearance is. My mother claims she is not trying to impress anyone, but she could have fooled me. Who walks around in short skirts with their butt’s cheek showing, hair sleek down her head and always hollering ha girl do I look good or what? Her home was never clean at all. She always had dirty dishes in the sink and garbage everywhere. My mother did not mind boring money to pay her bills. I wonder where the money went, because the light was always off. The next main thing that is difference between my mothers’ is their point of views about life. My grandma believes you should always put the lord first in everything you do. Make sure we

    Grandmas, the ones that cook for you and give you candy are the ones that love you for who you are and let you get away with things they wouldn't let their own kids get away with. Some grandmas can't even walk when they get up in age, but then there are some like mine who at the age of 83 are doing things other 83 years olds don't and shouldn't be doing. Most people would expect an 83 year old grandma to be knitting, light cooking, playing bingo and slowly walking her way to church. Not my grandmother, you can find her climbing on ladders, fixing fans, constantly moving, driving big pick-up trucks, all while looking like she is going to the social club.…

    It took me eighteen years to realize what an extraordinary influence my mother has been on my life. My mother is the kind of person who has thoughtful discussions about which artist she would most want to have her portrait painted by, the kind of mother who always has time for her two children. Since I've grown up with such a strong role model, I have gained many of her interests. I was not only eager to learn simply for the sake of knowing something new, but I also came to understand a new sense of life, love, and spirit. My mother's enthusiasm for learning is most apparent in travel. I was nine years old when my family visited England, the first time since being born, to see the rest of our family. Every night for two weeks before the trip, my older brother David and I sat with my mother on her bed reading European myths.…

    I was raised by both of my parents in America after we legally travelled from Malaysia. While my father worked a full time job, my mother stayed home and looked after me. At a young age, I had a large portion of the day with just my mother. I was never a neglected child. She taught me to always carry a smile and to look at the positives in life instead of fretting about the negatives. When I was bored, she would stop her daily chores and watch television with me. If I complained of starvation, she would immediately cook or take me out for food. When I was sick, she took care of me and stayed up all night in case of any bad changes. If I wanted a new toy, she would nag about how hard it is to earn money but she will always end up buying it for me. I didn’t realize at the time, but in my heart, she was already an irreplaceable mother.…

    Every morning, I would feel irritated with my house being too loud and too noisy as the sounds of the pans and pots from the kitchen would echo in my ears, causing me to wake up. My mother never forgets to prepare breakfast for me despite leaving for work at dawn and returns home at dusk. When I feel thirsty while I am at school, there is always a full bottle of water inside of my backpack to keep me feeling hydrated. During the times I struggled with homework, my mother would encourage to do my best, support me, and try to help in as many ways as possible even if she did not understand the materials I was learning. My mother, who plays a vital and significant role as my motivation and inspiration, is someone I strive to emulate. I have noticed many of her…
