A Vivid Description of My Mother: Literature Portrait
My name is Janet and I’m currently in my 2nd semester of college. Today I’m here to share a descriptive essay about my mother, a personal story that helped shape who I am to this day.
Our lives are one huge puzzle, that we are continuously adding more pieces. From laughter to tears to adventures to fears to those who remain standing with us as our grand masterpiece is yet to be revealed. On May 5 year 2000, marks the day I was born and met an incredible human being. My mother. My mother is a woman like no other. My mother left her whole life behind in Mexico at the age of 15. She came here with nothing but a bag of clothes. Breaking through barriers of fear and doubt.
When I hear the words love and perseverance, I see her. She taught me what is truly important and that is how precious this gift of life is. And our family. And how with a blink of an eye this can all be taken away. See, because of her I no longer live in time. I live for and in the moments. She taught me life is too short for regrets and no matter how many times life may knock me down I will get back up and try again. There’s days my mama wanted to turn the page of her book but she could not because that’s not how life works. You can not skip pages you have to read every single page and keep going. My mama took one look at me and saw something worth believing in, long before I believed in myself. She did more for me than she did for herself. She is my biggest motivator. She push me to continue my education when I was willing to take a year off. I’m proud to say that I’m the first generation in my family to attend college! My mother taught me that it does not really matter what's in your wallet but what’s in your heart that truly matters. Love. She tells me that love is just a word until somebody comes along and gives it meaning.
My mama is my best friend, and her loyalty is always appreciated and never underestimated. There are days where I am so undeserving, and yet my mama is so relentless. I will try to push her away she will just get closer. Giving me confidence and support. Even though my action hurt her. When I thought mint chocolate chip ice cream will fix just about everything. Pain taught me otherwise. Because for pain there will always be my mother's arms.
There is nothing I am not proud of in my mama. Highly inspired by her strength, passion, her perseverance and most of all her unconditional love. Because of her I know what I stand for and what I’m capable of. I know to speak the truth. Be bold. Be brave and beautiful. Embrace my every flaws cause that’s what makes me unique. Spread love and take no shit. Laugh loud and proud and don’t sweat the small stuff. Blow my own mind away! Thanks to my mama I only hope one day I can become half the marvelous woman she is. Thank you for your undivided attention! Have a wonderful day!
