Wonder Woman

In the course of 8 years, I have lived with a single mom and an older brother. Whether it be a couple of dollars for gas, a hug when I need it, or a "musical" day to cheer me up, my mother has always been there for me. Sometimes I feel like I cannot do enough to show her how thankful I am that she is my mother. Not only for the things she does for me, but what she has taught me. My mom has taught me to be an independent woman, a goal oriented woman, and an open minded woman. She has shaped and molded me into the woman I have become. I could not picture not having my mother in my life. But with all that she has taught me, I hope it comforts her to know that I will strive to be like her. It is hard to describe the love that I hold for her, yet I wish I could let her know. Mom is determined, bold, loving, hopeful, wonderful, independent, beautiful woman. From day one I have looked up to her in every way, and as a nineteen year old, I still aspire to be like her. She is my mentor, my teacher, my confidant, and my best friend.
I love you mom, and I thank you for all that you have sacrificed and taught me. You are truly an amazing woman.
