At times my momhas been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me.For
example，when I was 12 ， I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer.My mom was extremely nervous about it.She kept
telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico ， to always put on
sunscreen ，not to wander away from my grandmother ，and other warnings.She
helped mepack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.
But despite her worries ，she let me go on my own.As I movedinto my teens ，
she continued to give me space to grow and learn ， even when it might have
been difficult for her.When I reached my senior year ，I decided to move away
for college.Once again I found that I differed from my peers ：While many of
them wanted to stay close to home，I couldn ’t wait to be out in the world
on my own.While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going
away，she was supportive and excited for me.
One big thing I realized during my senior year ，as my momgranted me more
freedom ，was that she actually believes in me and trusts me.That means a
lot.Most of my life，and especially whenI was little，the main person I tried
to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother.I knew she expected nothing but the best from me.Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards ；getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew
she wanted me to have all A’s.
I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s important ，like education ， and mademewho I am.I amthankful for her support and involvement in my life.Most of all I respect her.She is the strongest
woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent.
