For 21 years, you took care of me, nurtured, be there when I need someone to talk to the most and gives me advice when I need them the most. I know that I am sometimes my stubbornness, craziness drives you crazy and you get mad but at the end of the day we got each other's back. I honestly don't what I would have done without right here by side. A lot of things has happened over the year but you never loose faith, discourage or give up on us. I know sometimes you feel like we don't appreciate you or listen to you believe me when I say that we do, we listen to you. For ex, there things that I would love to do but because I know you wouldn't be happy about it then I stop myself from doing it. You taught my sisters and I that giving up isn't an option, you should always get back up and put a smile on your face. You taught us that we can be working and handle your family. You never have a day off its work after work. You inspire us so much, through you we find the courage to move on, get up and fight again, to always do what's right and respect our elders.

On your days off, you take care of your household; you even do it before going to work. You are our number support, cheerleader, provider and caretaker. Being a Caribbean, Black, woman in America isn't easy. I know you've through a lot but still manage to maintain to smile, laugh everyday. We know sometimes it was hard for you raising us because we know that we give you headaches. I could go on and on about you but words can't really describe it or thank you enough for what you've done for us. The only way we know that we know for sure that will make you happy is when we are walking on that stage when they call our names and hands us our diplomat that you'll feel proud. You always tell us that educationist the key of everything. I know that we will make you proud our dream is for us to spoil you because God knows that you deserve it. People who know you, know about how a great person that you are; you would though hell and back for us. I know you gave up a lot just so we could have a great future and not to worry about a thing; always put your family needs before your own.

I just want you to know that your efforts won't be in vain, we will be successful, we will make you proud; you always say that the reason why you are going through what you are going is because you want the best for us well I promise you that it be won't be. I love you to the moon back and thank you again mom.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
