In honor of this day dedicated to mothers I think it is important that I take a minute and thank my mom for all she has given me. I am grateful for her free spirit and strong devotion to her children. I realize all that she gave up to raise my sister and I and mold us into good and caring individuals.
She set standards as to how we are supposed to treat others and also how others are supposed to treat us. We are encouraged to follow our hearts and always help out the needy and downtrodden. Her ability to instill these values is reflected in both my sister's and my career choices. She taught us to always look for the beauty in those things that initially appear to be ugly and find the value in things that may appear to be worthless. No one and no task is beneath us and there is something to be learned from everyone you encounter.
Thanks Mom for teaching by example and showing me the kind of person I strive to be.
