Mentor Quote- Anabel Nunez

” I want you to become something even though I didn’t get to”

Throughout my whole life my mom has always been there to support me through any stage of my life. Coming from another country wasn’t easy on my mom, trying to get an education was a struggle. Since my mom’s first language is Spanish speaking English was difficult especially when it came to school. This is part of the reason why I am so fluent in Spanish as well. My mom got to college but wasn’t able to finish her degree due to not being as fluent in English and later my little sister being on the way. Since the age I was fully able to understand my mom always implanted the idea of being successful in life. Getting an education and finishing it. Due to this I always took my education seriously, it was never something I took lightly or as a joke.

My mother is my mentor, there are many things that she has said to me but this one always replays in my head. From learning how to read and write to learning how to make good life choices. Learning values and self respect were always big. Being able to get an education and having a degree will not only be me achieving my goals but my mothers as well. Growing up she always told me that nothing would make her happier then getting further than she did achieving way more than she did. This idea is my motivation in life, wanting more for myself. Having that idea implanted in my head since young has brought me to the place I am now.

  1. Achieving a goal both you and your mom have sounds so special. Knowing my parents want a better life for me than what they had is very motivational to me as-well. It was hard seeing my parents work extra hard for me and my sister and forgetting about there goals. Its inspiring seeing you help your moms goal as well as your own.

  2. I also wrote about my mother and how much of impactful person she is to me. My mother would tell me the same thing. Her seeing me with a degree will make the happiest person. She struggle when she first cam here as well and spoke to me in Spanish all the time so I can speak it very well too.

  3. I really love how your mother was a very good mother to you. To me i feel like I struggle with having that mother daughter bond. But when we do have the important talks it makes me feel like she cares. I sometimes question if she cares. I know people say she cares and loves me. But sometimes it just doesn’t feel that way and I hope we do have that bond that you and your mother have.
