    My Mother (Descriptive Essay)

    About seventeen years ago, a beautiful young woman, named Kari, was trying to adjust
    and understand the purpose of her life. She was a typical adolescent, making mistakes
    and hoping each lesson would guide her in the right direction of life. At this time, she
    was living in Germany, occupied in the US Army, on and off with a boyfriend, and
    fighting to keep a relationship with her family, through letters. It may not seem like an
    ideal situation, but everything in life has a purpose, the challenge is discovering it.
    Unlike most adolescents, her life was put into perspective very quickly. At the age of
    nineteen, Kari received results from a test, which changed her life forever. She was
    pregnant.

    In January 1995, at the age of twenty years old, Kari gave birth to a baby girl. Her life
    now revolved around her child, Alexis. She got out of her relationship, got a job, and
    found a safe place for the two of them. Now living with her mom and step dad, working
    as a papergirl (newspaper delivery person), and fighting for divorce, Kari was struggling.
    It didn’t matter though; she made the best of it.

    When Alexis was two, Kari married her husband, Mike. Together, they got a town home.
    Now, with a home and family, it may seem like times were great, but there was still a lot
    of life to be learned from. Mike was constantly traveling; in fact, he was in Utah for two
    years after they got married. Kari was now raising Alexis, working seven days a week,
    and working to keep her marriage healthy. As with everything in her life, Kari took
    sacrifices and made it work.

    Fourteen years later, looking at this 36 year old, you would never realize the struggles
    she has faced in life. She is a beautiful, young, and caring, mother, friend and wife. She
    lives in a nice house, takes care of kids, home-schools Alexis and, her husband is home
    almost every night. She has many great qualities, but I think the characteristic that
    makes her the most unique and genuine person, is her love and creativity. She was,
    and is, able to take anything normal and make it enjoyable.

    By now you have probably realized, I am Alexis, her daughter. I have a great
    relationship with my mom, something many girls, my age, are lacking. In some ways, it’s
    like we grew up together (although twenty years apart), best friends. She has always
    provided the loving, but strict mother figure, which I can rely on, in my life. Her creativity
    brought me lots of fun times, and cherished memories, throughout my adolescents. Her
    strong words and lectures, many she has learned from in the past, bring me wisdom
    and guidance for the rest of my life. And her open and loving heart, gives me a safe
    place to share my emotions. I never could ask for a better person to spend my
    memories with, for they wouldn’t be the memories they are,
