WHO DO I ADMIRE?

I know it sounds as a cliché, but the person I admire the most is my mom. Her name is Aurora and she is almost 47.  Luckily, we have a very good relationship and we have a lot of things in common, so we trust each other. However, we argue and discuss often.

She is taller than me (which she always reminds me), her brown hair is very short and she cannot see without her glasses. Although we have the same eye colour, we do not look like each other at all. Due to she does a lot of sport (running, basketball, cycling and hiking) she is in shape. Moreover, she is vegetarian and she is obsessed with healthy food and green juices.  

On the other hand, I’m very proud of her job and what she has done during her professional career. Nowadays, she is working as a director in a disable residence and she has dedicated his whole life helping vulnerable people.  

She is the most optimistic person I have ever met. If you do not see her with a smile, something is wrong with her. She is a warrior; she fights for what she believes in and does not let anyone to stop her. “With hard work you can achieve any goal you want” she always tells me.

My mom has taught me that I have to help the other, but I do not have to forget about myself. She always says me that I have to love my people, but I also have to let them love me. Since I can remember, she has encouraged me to face my fears and stereotypes being proud of whom I am. Furthermore, she has educated me to have a critic point of view about social problems and the society in general.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I want to be like my mom.
