Every girl says that their mom is their superhero, best friend, or role model. Moms do everything for us from the day we are born until we can do it ourselves, and sometimes even then. I see articles all the time about mothers and how amazing they are. Everyone thinks they have the best mom in the world, which is unbelievable to me; because I do. But my mom isn't just my superhero, best friend, role model and my rock. She is my inspiration.

My mom has taught me so much throughout my life, I couldn't even begin to explain it. She never really taught me lessons, but showed me by example. Some lessons have stuck more than others. She has shown me excellent judgment and decision. With every decision I make, I think to myself, "what would Mom do?" I know that she makes the right choices, so if I can aim to think the way she does, I'll be okay. My mom taught me my worth as a person. I've learned not to waste my time on people that don't treat me right. She doesn't let people walk all over her, and I've taken that lesson to heart. She has shown me resilience and strength. I have seen her go through hard times, from seeing her children through an unthinkable amount of problems to dealing with her own personal struggles. Her strength through life has been remarkable. She is a fighter who never gives up, no matter how hard it gets. If I can ever be half the mother she is, my children will be fortunate.

I am probably biased, but my mom is the most amazing woman I know. Not just as a mom, but as a person. She is always willing to help out. From carpool drivers, to yearbook designer, to spirit wear coordinator, to planning school dances; she is always helping. Her plate is always full, but she always finds room to take on more responsibility. I don't know how she does it. She gets an idea and runs with it. Plus, she's insanely accountable and organized while doing it. She shows unbelievable determination and always has a goal in mind. Her life isn't always all business though. Her sense of humor will leave you giggling and she can always have a good time. She gives great advice and is there when someone needs a friend. I've seen her go out of her way to make someone's day, and expect nothing in return. My mother is the perfect example of what I aspire to be.

Everyday, this woman inspires me to be the best I can. The world needs more women like my mother. Her support, drive, strength, and heart cannot be found just anywhere. I am blessed to call her my mom. You hear kids say they want to be "just like mommy" when they grow up. Well, I am grown up, but I still want to be just like her.
