We were lucky to be homeless...
My mother has been a parent, a coach and a teacher and has affected my life more than any other person I know. She has taught thru example in the face of tragedy and fear. She has shown us love and respect and the importance of always getting back up after you fall. She is a survivor and will forever be my hero. As a single parent my mom has seen us through a difficult divorce, trauma and financial hardship. She made peanut butter sandwiches work when we could afford no more and we loved it. She taught us family is always more important than riches. When we were left homeless by a tornado she taught us how lucky we were to only be homeless because we were alive and had each other. Only my mom could show us the blessing of being homeless. She is amazing. As a coach my mom has taught my brothers and I to play sports. She has often coached our teams and worked 2 jobs but almost never missed a game. She is our hardest critic and our biggest fan. She has made sure we knew the importance of both team work and individual achievement. This year she has worked tons of overtime so that I could tour colleges across the country and live my dream. She has taught me to know no boundaries and to go out and not only get what I want but to enjoy and appreciate the opportunity of the quest. But most importantly we have been raised to know at the end of the day you need to love and appreciate what you have. What I have is a great mom, coach, friend and inspiration…
