My inspiration


Inspiration.

The thing that motivates us and pushes us to reach new heights.

Inspiration can come from anywhere. 

A person, a place, an idea, even a form of art.

Everyone is inspired by something. 

But me,

I’m inspired by a person.

The person who worked more jobs than I can count just to support a child on her own, 

The person who struggled and decided to go get a professional degree so that she and her child wouldn’t have to struggle anymore.

My inspiration is the person who worked on her own for all of her life just to make life better for her children. 

My inspiration is my mother.

If it weren’t for my mother’s strength, courage, or perseverance

I wouldn’t be the young man I am today.
