Undergraduate / "my mom" - Personal Essay About A Significant Person in My Life [2]
Hi.
I have tried to minimize my thoughts while hopefully satisfying the requirement of the prompt - describing the significance this one person has had. Any thoughts, comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
The person who has had a significant influence on my life is my mom. She is the person I confide in, supplies me with an extraordinary amount of emotional support and who I share an enthusiastic desire for learning with.
Without fear, I can disclose my everyday happenings with my mom. She listens and openly shares her personal experiences/failures with me. Through example, she has taught me to contemplate the outcome of my actions, and to understand that I own my decisions. She empathizes and accepts my lapses in good judgment, and disciplines in a non-critical way. She is a positive benefit to my individual growth.
I am a child of divorce, and saw my father regularly until Christmas Eve 2005. That evening I witnessed my father fail a DUI test, and subsequently be arrested. Even though the evening could have ended horribly different, my mom never prevented me from seeing him. Her unconditional love and support allowed me to deal with what happened and helped me handle my emotions appropriately.
I want to be a teacher. My mom was an elementary school teacher, and that makes her an ideal role model. The value of sharing my education with others will allow me to accomplish a lifetime of personal rewards. My mom's passion for learning and career familiarity are a tremendous asset to me.
Many people touch our lives everyday but there is always that one person who affects us more than the rest. For me, that person is my mom and I am proud to be her daughter. She is my sounding board, my security blanket and my learning partner. She is my rock and as I venture out into this new chapter of my life I take with me her sense of life, love and learning.
