My biggest inspirations come from the person that means the most to me which is my mom Eve’lyn Carthen. My mom inspires me because of the fact that she is a single parent mother that has come across a lot of obstacles in life. My mom has been through so much in her life to raise two kids that has a father but do not want to do anything to support. I feel that raising two kids by her and taking in another has showed me so much responsibility when it comes to doing things in life. When I look at my mom I see what I would love to be when I grow up: A strong black African American women. I feel that the definition of strong black women is my mom. The inspiration that my mom gives me I know will last for the rest of my life. Looking at my mom and the day to day struggles she goes through shows me a lot of integrity due to the fact that she doesn’t have to do it if she don’t want to, she do it to make a better life for her family. It doesn’t matter the circumstances of any situation she will always be there at the end of the day. When my mom tells me something I tend to say oh she doesn’t know what she is saying but at the end the words she told me help me along the way. I can talk to my mom about everything and more. That’s where most of her inspiration to me comes from is when we sit down and have our mother daughter moments. I cherish the moments we have because my mom always told me to cherish each moment like it’s your last. I can say that if it wasn’t for her I don’t know where I would be in life.
