| My mom |
My mother, she is not an ordinary
woman. Housewife by day, workaholic at night. When I say “workaholic” I am not
indicating that she work because she enjoy it. I saw how tough her job is. I
felt her rough palms against mine. I know how broken and exhausted she is, I am
too. It hurts me to see her having a life like this. 1 day off every 2 weeks,
work until midnight, stand beside the hot stove for 7 hours straight. She is
going through all the pain just for me. Sometimes, I feel like a burden. If I were given a chance, I would want her to be self-centered. I want her to
live her life free. I want her to share not only happiness but also her sorrow
and hardships with me.
Like I always say, my main goal in life is to provide my mother a better life. I worked
hard for it and I am still working on it. The first and the most
important step is to do well in university. One thing I regretted is not having a good foundation in English language. Ever since I was young, I
never enjoyed reading or writing. I would rather head to the field or start a
wrestling fight with my brothers. Silly girl ! But its okay, I am not giving up. I am going to work hard for my grades. Even the
world says “give up”, there will be hopes inside me to whisper “try it once
more”, don't give up, for the woman who gave you life. I love you, mami ! :)
