My mother is cool﹣much cooler than most people．I give her full credit for making me the person who I am today．To thank her，I'd like to share some of the things she taught me．

（1） 　　

No matter how hard things got，my mom could always joke about them．It has taught me things are never， ever， end﹣of﹣the﹣world kind of bad．I'm sure this has made me a more relaxed person．

（2） 　　

My mother made her own clothes she felt like wearing．Soon enough， people asked her to make clothes， and it turned into a full﹣time business．That shows me how you can set up your own business by expressing yourself truthfully．

（3） 　　

As a creative， my mother always encouraged us to do imaginative things for enjoyment and discouraged TV．We dressed up in costumes， drew pictures， and sang at the top of our lungs．Today， I am a very fun person to be with．

（4） 　　

My mom has always pushed me towards becoming independent． Not for her good，but for mine．I made my own decisions without her trying to manage me．Because of this，I grow up to be completely independent．

（5） 　　

Growing up， I've made my fair share of mistakes．Instead of saying "I told you so"，my mom always let me work things out myself．She was also there to help me pick up the pieces，if I ever needed help．

For all that you've done and everything that you are﹣thank you，mom!
