A Story About My Mother
Vu Lan celebration is coming, on websites there are many written works about mother. They are simple but meaningful and reminded me of my mother. Accordingly, I want to share with everyone my story-a long one to tell…
When I was a child, I always imagined my mother as a serious and frightening woman. She was constantly forcing me to stay at home whereas my friend can freely go out and enjoy their childhood. That’s not fair!!!There was a question that kept haunting my mind “Is she exactly my mother?” .I think that I found the answer after that story.
One time, being too passionate about games with my friends, I forgot to come back home, making my parents extremely worry and find me everywhere. Finding out me in the yard with my friends, she furiously shouted at me and hit me in front of all my friends including the boy that I liked. It is too ashamed! I did not have dinner and kept myself in my room on that day. During that night, instead of sleeping, I planned to revenge my mother in the next days. In the following day,as usual she went to work and left me alone at home . However, this time I decided not to stay alone in that boring house. Fortunately, I came across a tiny hole in the window, which was small enough for my little friends to creep into. Being too happy, we play many games one by one. Suddenly, I had an accident while I was playing skipping with my mother’s scraft, leading to my chin’s blooding. I was very afraid no matter how much my friends encouraged me. I cried so much my friends had to find the help of my neighbor. He immediately informed my mother. “ This time surely my mother will hit me seriously” I thought that. Especially when I heard the sound of her motorbike, my heart beat faster to wait my mother’s punishment. Nevertheless, everything was totally unexpected. Right after the door had been opened, the scene I saw was not her furious eyes but her eyes with continuously dropping tears.My mother hurriedly ran to me and embraced me

    The main character of “The Outsiders” was Ponyboy Curtis, the younger brother of Darry and Sodapop Curtis. Ponyboy is very unique from all of the other characters, they are all unique. He isn’t the tuff like Dally, the pet like Johnny, the leader like Darry, the silly one like Sodapop, the wisecrack like two-bit, or even the confident and arrogant one like Steve. Ponyboy is quiet, smart, young, and kind. One of Ponyboys obstacles in the book was his brother Darry, the leader of the gang. “I could tell it was Darry though - partly because of the voice and partly because Darry’s always rough with me without meaning to be. ‘ “I didnt mean to!” Darry shouted… “Thats all i hear out of you! Cant you think of anything?” “Darry…” Sodapop began, but…

    I have gone through a lot of things in my life. Many people would not believe so, as I am a pretty blessed child with my father the king, my mother the queen, and me of course, the prince. My life really started to go downhill when my father passed away. Wait, he did not just “pass away”, he got murdered. By my uncle. Why you may ask? Well I’m not too sure. It probably had to do with the fact that now, after two months, my mother married him. He wanted the throne and to rule the town. I wanted revenge, and that is all I wanted. I started seeing ghosts and that started frightening me. I thought I was going insane. The ghost, who ended up being my father, told me to kill my uncle, to get the revenge I strived for. But I couldn’t. I wanted to be very cautious. I wasn’t really that type of person that goes around murdering people! Eventually I started to be abusive to my mother. I really regret that. But I was so mad at her for getting married to the one that killed her own husband! At this point, I accidently murdered my girlfriend’s dad, thinking that it was my disgusting brother. I realized that I was now the murderer that I never wanted to be. Her brother, of course got mad, and my uncle tried to convince him to kill me! We fought, and I thought it would be the winner. Little did I know, my uncles sword was laced with poison, and if it touched me, I’d die. I…

    I’ve been told the impact of a parent’s passing can carry on for years or forever. I was my mother’s primary care giver for two years. In her last four months, along with hospice, I took care of her full time along with maintaining my full time job. She passed in her home surrounded by me and my other two siblings in January. Just three months later my dad, who was not married to my mom, died unexpectedly in his sleep. I am still in the tender times of grief from my mother’s and father’s deaths. Who would think I could fathom writing about such a sorrowful time in addition to writing about the lessons I learned from my mother’s last months and the graceful way she left this earth. I relive this not only because it is kind of…

    My mom never screamed at me before and when she screamed he blamed me for letting him go outside without his permission. One sunny day, we were remodeling the living room so it can be more babyproof now that my brother was taller and could walk and run perfectly. We left the door open because it was too cold in the living room. We were moving the couch as we told Andres to move over so we don’t locate the couch on his feet. We were so busy moving the furniture that we totally forgot the baby of the family was walking towards the door. When we put the couch in our desired spot, we noticed Andres walking toward the street. We ran after him as quickly as we could as we saw a car moving in Andres’s direction. My dad sprinted like a track and field athlete towards his baby and caught him right in time. All of a sudden, my mom turned to me and blamed me for this incident. I felt like my side of the story wasn’t considered when I explained she told me to help her with the couch and it was really Andres’s fault. She couldn’t believe I was blaming a baby so she sent me to my room. I ran to my room crying, feeling as if Andres was the favorite child and I wished that I never had a…

    My mother’s parents would always share stories with us about how their parents came to America from Italy and Germany. They would bring out old photo albums and tell us all about how different life was for them and how they held on to family cooking recipes and every Christmas we make the same dishes that their parents would make. My father’s parents would also share stories about Ireland and my grandpa would talk about what he experienced when he was in the war. Unlike the family I interviewed, I was brought up in a Christian household. Every Sunday the whole family would attend church together and then go out to eat after to talk about what we had learned. We would also pray every night before bed and were always told to give thanks throughout the day for the life we have been blessed with.…

    Suddenly, I woke to the sound of pain and stress. In the dimmed hotel room, my mother was laid roughly on the bed motioning that she didn’t feel well. We had traveled the far and exciting journey to Las Vegas to witness my mom finish a half marathon. It was an event that she had spent minutes, hours, days, and months training for. I couldn’t believe that after all of the work my mom had done in the past year, she wouldn’t be able to compete on the big day. I was wrong though when my mom sat up, tidied her tangled hair and nonchalantly said, “let’s do this”.…

    I want to start off by saying how excited I am to be joining A Place for Mom!! I started my career in health care nine years ago, originally working in nursing. I have worked in a variety of health care settings; Independent/Assisted Living, Memory Care, Long Term Care, Skilled Care, and the Hospital. I always knew I wanted to help people, seniors in particular. As a child I grew up living next door to my grandparents and did everything with them, this is where my love for seniors began. While working in the Hospital I came to the conclusion that nursing was not the way I was going to help people. I began working at an Assisted Living Community in Ames, Iowa as the Sales Director. I quickly learned that, that was how I was going to help people. For three years I got the pleasure of not only helping many families relieve their stress and fears for their loved ones care and safety, but I was also able to ensure their loved ones were able to live out their final years thriving. It was truly the most rewarding job, which brought me to A Place for Mom. At A Place for Mom I won't be limited to helping just the families that…

    In recent debates about remuneration, some controversial issues that have been brought up are about the federal minimum wage, and its influence on society. On one hand, some claim that the federal minimum wage is to low, and in fact, needs to be raised so families can earn a living wage, but also help the poor, promote job growth, support workers, and decrease prices on many goods. One advocate of this view is Aaron Pacitti of The Huffington Post who asserts that “Raising the minimum wage is good economic, good policy and good for workers” (Pacitti). Others, such as John Wihbey of the Journalist’s Resource, however, strongly disagree. Wihbey states that “the real effects of minimum-wage increases are negative: they hurt businesses, raise prices…

    On behalf of my six siblings, I stand before you honored to deliver the eulogy for our mother, Savannah Marie Dorion LeBlanc. The essence of Mom is best understood as it is reflected in her incredible marriage to our father, and in the rearing of her children. To the extent that we are kind, loving and caring people, and to the extent that we have achieved success in life, it is due, in large measure, to her incredibly strong and nurturing maternal instincts, combined with her deep spirituality.…

    When I was about 13 years old me and my siblings would constantly beg my mom for another dog. Our other dog Kozmo was getting old, and we wanted to get him a friend. My mom was completely against getting another pet; she thought we would never take care of it. But soon enough my mom came home with a six month old purebred golden retriever. We ended up naming her Katie, so that our dogs would both start with a K. Katie's fur was a golden brown, with a red tint. Her eyes were a deep brown, and took up half her head.…

    My mother has had a huge impact on my life and it is because of her that I am the person I am today and today where I am. Most people say I am a lot like my mother, both physically and mentally.

We love to learn and travel, eat exotic and luxuries food, spend time with family, and we both have an incredible urge for knowledge.
