My mother never gave up on striving me and my sister to do our best. She is a woman that I look up to the most. Her name is Victoria and born in Mexico. Since she remembers her mom, my grandma, suffered abuse from her dad, my grandfather. My mom ran away when she was fourteen and came to the United States to have a better start in life. On the age of fourteen she tried finding any kind of job except nothing that dealt with disgracing her self. She always reminds my sister and I how working with respect and honor will lead to a happier and better life. At the age of eighteen she met my father and got married a year later and also had me. This February her and my father are having their eighteenth anniversary. Also this year I’m graduating and she has been a great support in my life and always says she wished she had the chance to go to school but her parents didn’t want her to. Which was another reason she sort of left. Now she has a loving husband and two daughters that are trying to make her proud, and her own beauty salon business here in Gilroy. She is the most amazing woman I have ever met.
