My+Mom

There are many people whom I respect and love dearly. The person who’s always pushed me to become my very best is my mom. My mom isn’t like any other mom. My mom's name is Som. I always thought it was cool that her name rhymed with mom. She gave birth to me at a very young age. My mom was only 15 years old. Since she was so young she didn’t know what to do, although she had her family to help her. Every year she’ll remind me that it was very hard to raise me with my dad. It was so hard because she was incredibly young. She was just a child having a child herself. My mom is always there for me no matter what. When I’m falling she’s there to pick me up. Obviously my mom raised me well.

Today my mom works at the Work Connection. The Work Connection helps unemployed people get a job. Her other job is to be a mom and a wife. She’s been a mom for seventeen years and a wife for sixteen years. Her favorite thing to do in her spare time is sit in front of the television and watch Sunday night football along with her other favorite shows, such as CSI:NY, Parenthood, Dancing with the Stars and The X Factor etc. I don’t mind her sitting in front of the TV when she comes home because I love watching those shows too! As a family, we love going over to my aunts. We usually have the grill running the whole day because we love food; especially if it’s homemade. My mom has a big heart! She’ll help anyone even when she doesn’t want too! It just shows how much she cares about giving back to others.

In the future…My mom plans on hitting the Powerball or in this case the jackpot! Every week she’ll drive to the gas station and buy her lottery numbers, ranging from; power ball, mega million, daily 3, North Star, gopher 5 and hot lotto. She’ll drive all the way to the closet gas station in Minnesota to buy her daily 3 numbers. The closet location in Minnesota is Beaver Creak. It’s about fifteen to twenty minutes away. It’s always fun when she brings home a stack of scratch tickets. Sometimes we win sometimes we don’t! It’s always exciting when she gets all the numbers exactly right or just close on the daily 3. The prizes range from $20 and up. It all depends on how your numbers are placed. One time my mom took my grandma to buy the daily 3 and she won over $3000. My mom loves buying the lottery because she always hopes and prays one day the jackpot is hers! Everyone has a dream; my mom’s dreams are to win the whole entire jackpot someday.

My mom is kind-hearted person. She’s always there to keep me happy, healthy and safe. It’s a mom’s job, right? I would say she’s been doing a fantastic job at being a mom. I wouldn’t trade my mom for any other mom because she’s so special and always has a place in my heart. If I didn’t have my mom there for me, then I don’t know where I would be today or who I would be today! She’s always guided me through every obstacle. “Never give up; it’s not the way to go.” Everyday she reminds me to also tough it out because sooner or later there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. I also agree with the quotes she says to me. People who know my mom say she’s one of the most helpful people they’ve ever met. Although she has a job and a job at home she still manages to find time and help others. Once in a while my mom will translate for people that can’t understand English. She finds her time to go whether it’s an emergency or not. If I was my mom I probably wouldn’t be able to do half of what she does, seriously! My mom is the greatest most amazing person ever. She’s my hero because she’s always there for me and she’ll help anyone with no hesitation. Although we have our ups and downs just like every other mother and daughter we still love each other at the end of the day. My mom is my hero!
