Anecdotes(:

My mom has always been my hero. We have been through so many ups and downs, I lost count. Trying to pick just two stories isn't very easy. My mom has always been willing to put herself last to us. I have two brothers and a sister: Michael is 26, Alex is 21, and Gary is 13.
To start this off, the main story that always comes to mind is how we got to where we are. My dad was/is a meth addict. The whole story is very very long. So I'm going to skip a lot and just go to the main points. She put up with so much all because she wanted us to grow up in a home with both parents. She took so much abuse, mentally and physically, all for our sake. Eventually she learned that just leaving and getting out of the situation a whole lot earlier would have been what was best for us. By telling just that I want people to know how self-sacrificing, and how strong my mom is. She gives so much up for us.


My last story is kind of funny. So me, my mom, and my little brother were back to school shopping at Kohl's, and i was wearing a new pair of semi tight jeans that I just bought. Back to the story, I was walking around Kohl's looking for a backpack for my brother, and my mom was pretty far behind me. I was passing this guy who looked to be in his 20's and he turned around after he passed me and totally checked me out according to her. She got so pissed off at me, acting like it was my fault this guy checked me out. I was so livid, so was she. She lectured me about how I'm leading all these guys on. Basically I was just trying to keep a straight face. So by reading this I hope you see how overprotective she is. I see that she wants me to be safe rather than sorry.



I can't put into words what my mom has done for me. Were going through a hard time now, and just sitting back and watching her go through all the money problems is hard. Were cutting back on so much, and I can't help. I've never felt so helpless. There really is nothing I can do to help. It really is just the worst feeling in the world. Watching her do all this, really makes me see how much she does for us. It also helps me see how much she loves us. I wish she could see how much i love her.<3

Controlling Impression

The thing I want people to walk away with when after they read my biographical narrative is how strong my mom is. She has a million qualities, but I want people to understand all she has been through, and see how amazing she is.
