My Mentor

“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” – Robert Frost. This is one of my mom’s favorite quotes and it describes her personality, and how she views life.
My mom has always been there for me, teaching me a great deal and showing me how to do a variety of events that will lead to success. She has shown me that hard work will pay off in the end. There have been times when I wanted to give up on something, but she wouldn’t let me because nobody should ever give up on anything. “Your dreams and goals are a major part of your life,” she says, therefore she believes I should work my hardest. She teaches that being organized leads to everything becoming easier in life, and success will lead to even more success in life.
People’s actions show their attitudes toward their surroundings and life. One thing that stands out that she’s taught me is to never care what people think. Also, don’t let people boss me around and tell me what to do with my life. I get mad easily, therefore she has tried teaching me not to “blow up” at people and not to let them “push my buttons.” I live in a small town, and I’ve learned people are bound to gossip because they have nothing better to do, and I’ve learned to ignore it because of my mom’s advice. There are people out there who believe they are better than the rest, but my mom has taught me that we are all equally important in the world.
In high school, every kid is faced with difficult decisions and my mom has always taught me to think about what I am doing and if it’s the right decision. Of course, peer pressure is another thing, following the crowd doesn’t have to be done if it’s the wrong thing to do.
My mom is very smart. She hasn’t only taught me things about school, work, success, people and friends; she has also taught me how to do different things. There are many things she has taught me about: food, cooking and baking. I can make almost all of her home cooked meals. She has also taught me more elaborate ways of cooking, such as freezing sweet corn and making and canning salsa. Not only have I learned to cook from her, but I have learned how to do household chores such as cleaning and doing the laundry. She is very knowledgeable about different things such as: how to make crafts, how to save money, how to do almost anything on the computer, how to collect antiques, and how to take care of children. All these things that I know, I learned about them from her, some things more than others.
My mom has also taught me to love and care for people. The way that she loves and takes care of my sisters and me, I know we have all learned to be like her in many ways. She expresses great devotion to her family and it is easily recognized. I am thankful that she is a caring person; otherwise my family and friendship towards other people would not be what it is today. I look up to my mom because of all the wonderful things she has accomplished and because of how much she loves my family and me. I admire how we always come first to her.
Another wonderful quote by Robert Frost that sums up what my mom has taught me is, “Don’t ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.” That quote holds true to everything she has taught me in life.
