Believing That You Can
I am very grateful to this country for giving us the
opportunity to make a new and better life. I thank God for
giving me a mother with so much courage, for making the
decision to make such a big change to move to a new
country and the challenges she had to overcome to give us
the opportunity to live in freedom and have the better life
that she was seeking. I admire her for being so valiant.
Without her we would have never made it. God bless her
forever.

The Person I Admire the Most
There comes a point in life where we just end up
admiring a person for all the hard work they have done.
There is one person I do admire and that is my mother,
Samara Sanchez. I admire my mom so much just because
of the woman she has become, the fact that she has
supported me for 19 years already and has built a friendship
with me. I couldn’t be any more grateful than I already am.
My mother is one of my biggest blessings.
The woman my mom has become has been a huge
influence in my life. Seeing my mother trying to be the best
mom out there is something so beautiful. She has
succeeded in being a great mother. She never gave up even
when times got rough. She stayed on her two feet and
sought the Lord, who gave her peace, love, happiness and
wisdom. Not only has my mother been great, but she’s
been my supporter. I remember it like if it were yesterday
when I was turning one! Being a supporter has been one of
her best qualities. She encourages me to do the things that I
like. For example, I want to study teaching, special
education to be exact, and my mom is behind me one-
hundred percent. She’s amazing!
There is nothing more important than building a
friendship with our parents. My mom is not only my mother
but my best friend. She will always love, will always give
