The Person I Admire Most
The person I admire the most

My father who is generally niggardly with praise is extremely generous where our mother is concerned. He spoke of her once as selfless, sacrificial and devoted and to this I would like to add: helpful and understanding. It is not unusual for us teenagers to run into little problems and then to boggle at them. Whatever we do, she is there solidly with us to help us. I am convinced that one of the greatest boons in life is to have a devoted, selfless, helpful mother. I have. Definitely she is the person I admire most in this world.

There is no gap separating us. children, from our mother and we do not create that artificial barrier called the 'generation gap'. To her I am an open book and, as a rule. I do not pry into her personal problems, if at all she has any. She speaks little and has a patient ear for our rigmarole. Our conversation, often one-sided, can be long and topics may range from the pranks of my little sister to something new in chemistry that I learnt at school.

A quality that I admire most in her is her selfless devotion to us. Her own interests are of little importance to her where ours are involved. The meals will he ready at the time we need them. She will forego a good night's sleep without a murmur, nursing us when we are ill. Her personal possessions are meager and they have to be so. In her scheme of things our interests come first. The little ornaments we wear today were hers. In the knowledge of fashions she seems to excel over us. She seems to take secret delight in seeing us fashionably dressed.

My mother has an undeclared philosophy and that is to use to the full one's abilities and she practices rather than preach it. In spite of all the domestic chores, she finds time to read and often she reads books that have educational value. She knows a lot about child psychology and now adolescent psychology. The culinary art for her is something that is to be continually developed. She avidly reads

She is the one who comes to my mind when days are filled with dread and then, my days become bright once again. If I am going through a "rough patch" in life she is there, standing by my side ready to do whatever she can to make that patch of my life great once more, if not better than it was before. When I fall she is there, right next to me, ready to help me up any time that I need.…

    There is a Chinese proverb once said: “The very first teachers you have in your life are your parent.” Parents are not only your friends, your relatives that share the same bloodline with you, but also the best teacher you can even have in your life. They share their previous life experiences with you in case you make the same mistakes like they did; they restrict your behaviors in order to make you a better person in the future. I love my parents though both of them are pretty tough. They taught me loads of useful things, especially my dad. I admired him and show full respect to him. What makes him so successful are his personality and the way he treats the people around him.…

    "If you would attain to what you are not yet, you must always be displeased by what you are. For where you are pleased with yourself there you have remained. Keep adding, keeps walking, and keeps advancing." My mother is the person who I admire the most, looking up at her as my idol, and listen to her is my mother. By interviewing Mrs. Suwipha Charoensin gives me an idea that to change because of someone who is very special is not difficult and it even gives someone a new life. My mother changes her attitude because of my father from a stubborn and hot tempered woman to calm and steady person. To me I think it is very amazing that one person can change her nature which had stuck with her for a long time because of another man. This interview is very special because it is not easy to tell someone about your life.…
