There’s always someone or something in your life that is very important for you and you consider yourself grateful for it. In my case someone I am grateful to have is my mom. As usual my mom and I have a lot of arguments but she’s always been the one supporting me whenever an important event comes up or whenever I have to take a decision for my good. She has showed me a lot throughout the sixteen years of my life. As a mom she’s a very strong, brave women and I really appreciate what she has done for me. The definition for gratitude is the quality of being thankful and return kindness or appreciation in return but in my own words is having someone that has giving you full support, advice and love through their own bad terms as well as for own.
I don’t have a specific recent example because she always does something every single day for me and my sisters. But not everything has been easy for us and even though these problems are personal she never left her self down because she saw I would look up to her and she decided to be strong. She stood up with her head in high and she kept on giving a smile to make my day better. She has giving me the opportunity to find myself in many occasions and never let me down even though she thought sometimes my decisions weren’t the best for that specific moment.
In return of her being always there for me I try to be a good student and a good daughter for her. Everytime I come to school I say to myself “I’m doing this to make my mom proud” to show that she didn’t made a mistake in giving all the advice she has giving me and I’m not going to lie that sometimes is something stressful to accomplish and somehow understand that she doesn’t have it easy with my sisters and me. Having in mind that I’m her first daughter sometimes is scary to think that I’m going to fail her as her daughter and I won’t be able to return that appreciation back to her.
The kindness from her part is the reason why I’m grateful for her, because if it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be the person I am now. Always cheering me up, always attending to my band concerts, always being proud of me whenever I came back home from school to show her my report card with A’s. This is how I understand the meaning of gratitude all to her.
