Describe someone close to you & what do you admire most about that person.

Who I admire most of all is my mother. She is a very smart women and loves life. She's been through a lot. My father died when I was 2 years old, so she had to raise my two brothers and I by herself. She struggled with trying to keep food on the table and keeping all the bills paid, and then later she came down with some health problems that made it more difficult for her to do things. She supported my brothers playing football and baseball and me with volleyball and cheer leading. She never tried to pry into my life too much, and I really appreciate that about her. She was always there to help us with homework, and she always let us have time with our friends and go on family outings. She pushed us to finish high school and college. Although I am the only one that went to college, she has supported me a great deal. She framed my first certificate that I received in one of my BCIS classes. We all live in separate places, but my mom always manages to get everyone together for family dinners and outings.
