Who or what influences or inspires you the most?

My mom is someone who influences and inspires me the most. She is someone who has always been there for me, and who has always been, and who will always be my bestest friend. She inspires me because she is such a good person and has faced struggles that are so unknown to some of us, but had the strength to persevere against them. She knows so much and is so successful; and when I say this I do not mean, “successful” in what most of us think the sense of the word is today. Her success is not limited to having an exceptional job or having possessions; and her knowledge is not limited to the scholarly kind. No, she is successful because she has lived a fruitful life and she has knowledge because she was able to take her life experiences and has matured to become wise. My mom is a profound influence to me. She always pulls me up when I am down, and has always been my float when I feel as if I am drowning. She is such a wise, kind, and humble person, and she is always enlightening me with her wisdom so that I never become ignorant and selfish. She is the reason why I am here. She has inspired me to be the best that I can be; for all she has done for me, how could I not? If I am good, If I am kind, If I am smart, If I am humble, it is because of her.
