Because of a mother, I have learned the importance of helping other people. I have learned about selfless love and the ability to help everyone you meet in some way or another. It's not about having the fanciest things, but the most beautiful heart.
Because of a mother, I have learned to appreciate my own worth and to never underestimate my potential. I have become aware that my moms don't want me to settle for anything less than my best. I have come to realize that my mothers believe in me when I don't believe in myself.
Because of a mother, I have learned about selfless sacrifice. Sometimes your own needs or wants get pushed down the list. Mothers spend money and an endless amount of time to see others succeed.
Because of my grandmother, I understand what surviving takes. I've learned that sometimes you have to be innovative and creative in your thinking when you don't always have everything you could want. I've learned that people, especially our family, come before any worldly items.
Because of a rodeo mother, I've learned that you're going to fall, but you always always always pick yourself up and get back on. There's always another rodeo, always another time to better yourself. I've also learned that sometimes you have to grind down and get your calloused hands dirty and get the job done.
Because of a basketball mother, I've learned to push through pain even when it hurts. I've learned that your knees might get bruised, but it's all for the love of the game and the love of your team. I've learned there is more to it than a win or loss, it's about relationships and accomplishing goals.
Because of a mother, I have dreams and a desire to help the people around me, both strangers and friends. I have a will, if you will, to make the world a better place. I have been taught to go after what you want, and to not back down to a challenge, no matter how big or scary it might seem, because, after all, I know my mothers have my back.
