Cringing against the bleak, plaster wall, I waited anxiously for my mother to appear from the opposing doorway. Bored nurses hurried by as I sat, whimpering quietly to myself. Awful, suppressing silence pounded in my ears, as if to mock my cowardice. “Pathetic,” it hissed, “too afraid to even go in by herself”. However much it tried, the serene façade could not mask the perpetual presence of death which lurked behind every corner. In the distance, a clock ticked continuously as infinite seconds

You know the feeling. It's that feeling in your throat that you try to push back. It creeps up, and goes straight for your eyes. The waterworks dare to gush out. I successfully hold them down as I watch my mom cross the stage to receive her diploma. The pride I feel in my mother is so immense that I naturally Instagram the pictures so the whole world can know. I tweet out how grateful I am to have such a hardworking mother that can obtain a master’s degree by going to night school for four year

In my life, I am in general, a sheep. I do not like to stick out, and my favorite place to be is standing away from the crowds with my best friend. Because of that, it was very difficult when I found out there was one issue I disagreed with all my friends about. Abortion.
For starters, I am only 14 but if I was 18, I would rushing my butt to the voting booths to vote for Obama. I honestly don’t know much about the economy, so I’m not going to act like I am. I do, however, have very

Who is the best mother in the world? My mother is! She helps with everything in the house. She cooks and cleans like every other mother but she is the one I can count on the most. She also inspires me and teaches me about how the world outside can be more difficult than you think it actually is. There are times when my mother needs me the most and I try to be there for her every step of the way. So then it is my turn to be a mother towards her. Having a relationship with your mother is the best

Letter to my mom:
I Love My Mom
What else could a teen need to get through his life other than his mom? I am truly blessed to have a mother that is so caring and supportive. My mom guides me to make the best decisions for my life and the decisions that are going to keep me safe. Whenever I’m down my mother is there to console me. My mother and I have a really close connection especially since my biological father left my mother to take care of a little boy all by herself while he st

The idea of bragging, or boasting, is often frowned upon by society. We shouldnt boast, we shouldnt brag, we shoud remain humble at all times. It's quite difficult though, when you have a mom like mine. I can't stay humble, or quiet, I just can't deny that I have been blessed with the absolute best.
My mother is a brave soul. She migrated from Mexico in the 1990's. She left behind all of her family, she left behind the only life she had ever known. Thrown into an unknown land, she le

Letter To Mom: Her Personality is big like her Singing Voice!


Someone special in my life is one of the closest people to me. This person would be my mother. My mother has been with me ever since I was born. My mother does so many things for me and takes time out of her life to make me happy. She also has so many great characteristics that always make me happy.
My favorite thing about my Mom is her personality. She alway

Out of the handful of influential women in my life, I have chosen to write about my grandmother. She was there of me on the day of my birth and is still there for me today. She means the world to me and I do not know what I would do without her. Being on the upper side of the scale of age, I must take advantage of the time I have left with her knowing that every minute is to be treasured. She is like a mother to me the way she displays her love for me through her servant’s heart is like

Letter to Mom.
Mum is a very special person to me. You were the one who gave birth to me and also brought me into this world. You were the one, who took care of me, treats my cuts and wounds. You were also the one who taught me how to talk. Mum you care about me.
The time I was born, I was born with a crossed-eyed eye. So this has been there for a long time. Mum, you are the most special person I ever met in my entire life. So the doctors were about to do some operation to fix my ey

Growing up I didn't always have that mother's shoulder to lean on. I was so desperate to find somebody to care for me I couldn't see what was right in front of me. After spending some time with a older woman who lived in my neighborhood we had created a loving bond. I looked at her as a mother, and she looked at me as the daughter she never had.
We would spend all night staying up doing goofy little things. We would do anything from painting tiny boxes to having a dance party
