Tuesdays With Mommom

My amazing grandma.

Tuesdays With Mommom
Lauren O'Halloran

It’s time to write an article about my biggest supporter, my grandma. Since I was just a little kid she has seen the potential and talent that even some of my teachers failed to recognize. Mommom’s favorite story about me is from when I was in kindergarten and I got to read a book that I wrote to my principal. To this day my grandma believes I should be a writer and although she cant access this article or any of my other ones, I know she would be happy that I’m writing regularly.

Mommom is by far the kindest woman I have ever gotten the pleasure to meet. She treats everyone like family and being Italian, she absolutely loves to cook and feed people. In fact, before she got sick, she would come over every single Tuesday after school and cook us a delicious meal. My brothers and I would take turns choosing what it would be for the next week. From turkey to corned/roast beef to sausage to meatballs, Mommom would make anything.

During these special Tuesdays we would talk about a lot of things but mostly religion. Mommom happily took up the difficult task of teaching my two younger brothers religion. From a very young age I learned to associate religion and church with the best woman I knew. I always thought everyone in the Catholic church was kind and generous like Mommom but unfortunately I learned that going to church doesn't necessarily make you a good person.

Mommom has always been concerned with my grades and education. As a child I loved sharing my high grades with her and my grandfather, who would give me a dollar or two every time I got a 100%.

I am so blessed and grateful to have had such an incredible grandma. Mommom has played a huge role in who I am today along with my views and values. I appreciate everything she has done for me and I will never forget her infinite kindness. The love she has for her family and friends is unbelievable. I hope that one day I can be half she is.

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.
