Greatest Lesson I learned

“Girl, be considerate…and don’t be afraid of anything you need to face.”
I can still remember that was the first day of my elementary school. I was standing in front of the school gate and looking on my mother’s smiling face. “What does “considerate” mean?” I questioned myself, yet no answers. But it was the beginning of the trip for me to seek the answer.
Over the years, I seemed to get the answer from my mother. As a responsible mother and wife, she has provided my sister and I with a considerate, amiable and lovable heart that we should have. She always treats each child equally and shows her respect. As a successful businesswoman, on the other hand, she has revealed what a independent, intelligent and strong female looks like. Her mellow and sanguine attitude to life, hard work, and charity are valuable lessons that she has taught us. We are more than just mother and daughters, we are friends. All she has done for me is like a cornerstone.
I know I may have a totally different life from my mother’s, but she will always be my biggest influence. Following her foot steps, I am writing my story of life.
