To My Role Model, My Mom
Summer Eckles

There are so many words to describe you, Mom. You are unbelievably beautiful, kind, honest, and you are always there for anyone the minute they need something. You have one of the best souls, and you truly are the person I look up to the most. You have been through more than I could imagine, yet you are the strongest person I know. You give the absolute best advice, and for that, I am forever grateful. How can someone who has been through such drastic events be so strong? All I know is you are good at it.

Growing up I always looked up to you. You knew what to say when I was upset over something silly, and you knew how to make me feel better every time. You taught me so many important life lessons that I will carry with me throughout my journey of life. You had so many wise lessons for every single struggle I went through, no matter what it was. You constantly made sure that my sister's and I had everything we ever needed, and you made sure we never went without. You gave up so many things in order to make us happy. Every time I think of you, which is often, I think of how lucky I am to have such an amazing role model like you in my life. Everything about you makes me want to be a better person.

There have been many challenges our family has went through, but through it all, you remained the rock. Every struggle we went through, you made sure we were aware that everything would be okay. Even when you had days where all you wanted to do was cry, you always put our feelings above your own. You are so selfless, and that is a quality that I will continue to admire.

I want you to know how truly blessed I feel to have such an amazing, inspiring, beautiful woman in my life. You will forever be my role model and best friend. I could not imagine life without you, and I love you more than you will ever know.

I hope that when I have children of my own someday, that I can be the kind of mother you are to me and my sisters. You have the biggest heart, and I, along with everyone that knows you, can agree with that. I hope to be able to go through life's challenges the way you do. You always know what to say and how to handle certain situations.

Finally, I want to thank you for all you have done for me. You have made such an impact on my life and will continue to do so. I want to thank you for being my shoulder to cry on, my biggest support system, my shopping buddy, my best friend, but most importantly, my role model. I know for a fact that our relationship will never change, and no matter how old I am, I will always call you. I love you more, 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.
