Parent Appreciation Essay

Emily Wang

        Whenever the time, whether it be midnight or late afternoon, I know my mom won’t ever forget me.

I realize, I am a part of her and her life, and whatever she does is always to help me. I wholeheartedly appreciate my mom’s effort. Continue reading →

My Mother

Recognizing the Love from Our Parents

         In this modern world that we live in, all our parents are concerned about is us. We, as kids, are ignorant to the extent that we imagine that all the classes, extracurriculars, and other things that that our parents “force” to do are supposedly torture for us.

My Mom

           In my memory, the first time my mom told me that she loved me, I was too small to understand what love really meant. I would agree and say that I loved her, too. Over time, I wondered why she still loved me, even if I messed the house up, threw tantrums, and got into fights with my siblings. It took me a long time to understand and appreciate what love is; my mom’s love is patience and persistence. I really appreciate the patience that my mom has. One of the hardest things my mom tries to teach me is how to stay organized. Continue reading →
